Hello everyone,
In this episode we bring you Carlos and his amazing Honda Civic EK. We have interviewed many Honda Civics but this story is one of a kind. Carlos has owned this hatchback since day one and now it has been running from a long time sitting on jack stands. I am excited to see what happens to this build now that it is making its way to the East Coast. I hope that I am able to see this car in a show when I make it out. For now, we were able to get the story behind this awesome car and I am grateful we had the opportunity. Take care Carlos and take care of this amazing Honda Civic. #automotiveanatomy

Something you should ask Gus to these OG guys is do you have any pics from back in the day. The classic '90s Kodak film with an Tsunami Civic on 17" TSW Hockenheim R's or something to that caliber lol

I do ask them to provide them but sometimes they are well hidden that they forget where to get them lol

I didn't know honda still made hatchbacks past the mid 90s. Were there any made in the 2000s ? The same deal with wagons. At least here in the US I've only seen honda SUVs, sedans and coupes after the 90s.

@TheFK8Life Жыл бұрын

They made hatchbacks in the US until 2005 or so when the coupe/sedan became the only options for Si in 2006 - now the coupe is gone and you can only get 5 door hatch or 4 door sedan - no 3 door hatches
