The EG hatch got completely naked in the back! 😱🔧💥

Episode 11 is officially LIVE on the channel right now! We are kicking off the first massive chassis upgrade for our budget Honda Civic EG3 hatchback—preparing the rear suspension for a full rear disc brake conversion!

But as every Honda owner knows, old suspension bolts mean war. Watch us battle a completely destroyed and seized toe arm bolt stuck inside the chassis, clean the trailing arms to perfection, and build some custom Polyurethane (PU) filled bushings right on the workbench! 🛠️🔩

Racing on the beach and a MASSIVE upgrade for the channel! 🌊🏎️💨

Episode 10 is officially LIVE on the channel right now! We are traveling to the beautiful coast of Mamaia for Stage 6 of the National Super Slalom Championship: The Seaside Speed Race! Catch some high-speed track action, smoke from the starting line, and a full breakdown of the weekend. 🏁🔥

But you definitely need to stick around until the very end because I am revealing a huge surprise for the garage... I just secured a legendary K24A3 Type S engine (2.4 VTEC) with only 97k km for my Honda Accord CL7 swap, along with a fresh set of Vogtland 30mm lowering springs! 🚀🔩

The ultimate B-Series transmission build is complete and it's time for the ultimate test! 🔧🏎️💨

Episode 9 is officially LIVE on the channel! We hit the workbench to finish what we started on the legendary yellow Honda Civic EK4—putting the gear stacks back together, shimming to perfection, and officially installing the brand new high-performance MFactory Limited Slip Differential (L*D). 🚀🔩

Once the gearbox case was sealed, we slammed the transmission back onto the B16A engine and got the car back on all four wheels.

Stick around until the end of the video to see the moment of truth: our very first fast launch inside the garage to test the new setup! 😱🚥 2-TIRE FIRE!

When your race plans end up in pieces, but you still bring home a trophy! ❌🏆🥈

Episode 7 is officially LIVE on the channel! The weekend started with pure stress in the shop—the courier failed to deliver our brand new MFactory L*D on time, leaving the green Civic race car completely stuck on jack stands.

With the race week clock ticking, we had no choice but to deploy PLAN B: taking the daily Civic EK3 to the mountain track in Râșnov! 🏎️💨

Despite the pressure and not feeling 100% physically, we pushed the backup car to the absolute limit and secured 2nd PLACE ON THE PODIUM in our class! 🏆🏁

Another race stage finished successfully!✅

Last weekend took place the fifth stage of the Romanian superslalom.ro Championship where we had a lot of fun, adrenaline and emotions!👀

The track was really tight, and our little EK3 civic struggled a bit in the hairpin turns, but we still pushed it to its limits and the end results are Second Place in my class, Debutanti D2, with my best time being 36:432 seconds!🏆😄

It was a challanging track, really nice weather and such an amazing atmosphere and we can't wait for the next stage of this Championship which will take place in Constanta, on 19-20 September!💪

The harsh reality of buying a cheap project car hits hard! 📉😱

Episode 6 is officially LIVE on the channel! We are diving deep under the hood of the new Civic EG hatchback to uncover the mystery VTEC engine swap.

Unfortunately, the cylinder compression test and the under-chassis inspection brought some massive hidden problems—from a 35 PSI drop on cylinders 1 & 4 to some broken brake lines and suspension problems! ❌🔧

This JDM hatchback is officially UNSAFE to drive right now, but the rescue mission has already started.

A new episode just got launched on the channel!✅

Finally, I have bought myself a car to transform it from a sitting forgotten shell, into a fully fledged RACECAR of my own! 🏎️

In this episode, I present you the car and some of the problems that came with it, but most importantly we diagnose the non-starting Mystery Engine it has!🛠️

Will this engine start? Or is it a money-pit that I got into? Find out in the video below!
