It would be really satisfying to see the engine bay cleaned up. Free mod to get it looking minty!
We need more of you with sunglasses!
these older civics love to have idle issues. my car has some on and off idle issues, sometimes when i’m in neutral my rpm will drop to 300-400.
Awesome! My idle issues (fluctuating up and down) came from the a/c compressor going out. Didn’t notice until I changed my fans under the hood.
When the a/c was off, the idling issues weren’t there.
Keep up the Civic videos!
Any feedback on the coilovers? Most likely going to buy those for a budget drift build.
On the previous models people often complained about leaks after short times, hopefully those new ones last a lot longer.
You should try adding power windows to this thing, definitely an upgrade worth having
My 97 cx hatch has a screeching noise from the back I think it could be the drum brakes but I’m not sure
Enjoyed the video. I too enjoy video of you just riding around in the biohazard Honda civic.
Also, how is James coming along with learning to drive stick?
Lmao are you treading on thin ice with that gas or that just a misread by the cluster?
It's a great build and another great Bendaga video. I hear snaking that hood release cable really sucks. That is why I never replaced it in my 95 Civic. I have a new, OEM cable in my garage and you're welcome to it. Oh, but I am in Boston.
Give it the beans! Fellow donut media fan I see!
Same happened to mine after it sat for 10 years
I have these exact idle symptoms with my 2000 Toyota Celica GT M/T. I have access to everything needed to clean my IACV on my own. My only concern is the Throttle Body itself. At 8:27, those pipes/holes/whatever they're called on the IACV, did any Coolant come out of those when taking off the hoses?
I know these are two completely different cars, but the issue might be the same.
I could watch a whole video of you just driving around it would be the perfect asmr lmao
lofe got a car channel?
Was curious about that scan tool till I saw the price…yah no there's definitely scan tools out there that does what that thing does for half the price.
Been waitin bendaga!!!❤❤
Where is the turbo…
i installed t7 coilovers on my coupe after watching the last video! they are perfect for my budget
Im loving this build and its OEM plus look. One suggestion for it, you should try to add some tint to it. Nothing crazy, just something to help with the sunlight and keep the car cool when parking it outside. I bet that would make it looks great and it would be a great and its an easy upgrade. Not to mention, if you mess up, you can take it off and try again.
