It's crazy to see how big yall grew, coming from the Ford Escort ZX3 that was supposed to be the track car, to now having a Civic K swap and winning 2 races, and being sponsored by these big brands, the transformation is super real. Keep the press😄

Ben, the car looks STUNNING! This series is one of my favourite things to watch on KZfaq. Thank you for consistently delivering this level of quality in these videos, it gets me super hyped for my own projects!

"It's not about the size, it's about the width" - Short Ben, 2021

I legit teared up at the reveal of the finished car. From aspiring young KZfaqrs to bona fide, sponsored race winners. Keep on living the dream, guys.

damn i remember when you guys went on the roadtrip with this civic crazy to see how far its come

That vinyl looks awsome. Loved the printed front grille!

Today, on Gears and Gasoline: Short Ben washes his width Tall Ben watches Luke records it all

It’s come so far since day one! You’ve been a huge inspiration to my K20 EG build guys🔥👏

Such a great design! Dynamic without letting the sponsors names become lost I. The graphics! Good job to everyone who designed, printed and applied the livery! Thank you to the sponsors for letting this be awesome! Good job Ben and Ben for being patient enough to get the sponsors whose products you actually want to use!

Kudos Ben on having your car sponsor, looks great

One of my favorite ones yet. That wrap is incredible

Little detail I love is that you incorporated the H-emblem in the grill wrap. Kudos!

You have made such a amazing journey!! From taking it on a 5000 mile road trip to winning with it!!! Great job!

The radiator grill decal has done so much for my OCD 😍

4:04 ngl that was the most satisfying sound i heard in a while

the wrap is absolutely stunning! Love it.

The wrap is absolutely amazing I can stare at it all day and not get tired of it.

I can't believe that 2 years ago this car was a buy for a cross country road trip and now it's a beautiful track car. So much love 💜

Valvoline is easily one of the greatest and most historic liveries around. I hold it with gulf, martini, Marlboro and Castrol as one of the bests ever.

i think you have one of the most interesting car channel on the web I dont know why but the way you guys implement road trip, car breaking down on the road up to building a pure race car. I will be following you in the futurs i really like the videos about going on a road trip with ur best pal and sharing what happen is In my opinion the reason why we mods cars. i realized not long ago that you better to drive a civic with yours friend than driving a lamborghini alone! Good job!

Wow the closing music and final presentation of the car was bloody amazing. Gave me goosebumps

The Wes Anderson style pan at 4:23 was nothing short of fabulous

OOOH BOY! Them sponsors are here! This car now look as a PRO. All of the brands merge so well, the collors are on point man! Great job guys, many thanks to sponsors. Me myself could never afford to build a car like that, very happy to watch your videos.

This civic has come a long way from its origin ricer look to what it is now. So happy to see a honda civic being appreciated like this.

At 4:05 You put the NewNew on a dirty old Hub Face with buildup and rust marks from the old rotor pattern. This seemingly minute issue will cause the rotor (and wheel/tire) to be mounted in an offset plane -eventually causing rotor thickness variation which is the true cause of most brake pulsation issues. Most term the resulting RTV (rotor thickness variation) "warped rotors". They usually put another set on the same surface and start the process all over again. This can also cause wheel/tire assembly run-out and vibration issues, it takes a few minutes to clean up the face- and edge of the hub and it can be very rewarding! If you measure the run-out of the hub and put the high point with the low point of the rotor even better. Try and match your rotors/Hubs/wheels for the best overall run-out for the sets you have.

Awesome is an understatement. You guys are by far my favorite KZfaq channel. Upload more and more please

Wow. Amazing job from the design team.

Wow, this is going to be an eye candy on the track for sure! I am always happy to see new G&G video!

Wow what an amazing build. That $5000 car has really come a long way from that first road trip. EK hatch was always one of my favorite cars, this build was very satisfying to watch

Holy cow that wrap is awesome 👌 Literally just wrapped mine this week and I kinda wish I'd gone for a full livery 😅

Congrats on the success so far this year and landing some amazing sponsors! The car looks amazing and you should be very proud.

The wrap detail of the black grille section with the red Honda badge is a brilliant touch. Will be interesting to see how the brakes hold up though, I think the lack of ventilation will still be an issue.

1:55 I was hoping you would connect an ice cube dispense to the hose to cool the brakes. Like a liquid cooled CPU.

Looks wild! So pumped for you guys!

Love it. The Castrol wrapped supras and celicas in old racing games are the main reason i use Castrol oil today...its the little things sometimes.

The beauty shots of this car at the end!!!

It's amazing watching someone just slide a used rotor off without beating it senseless with a mallet first.

By far the best looking civic I've seen to date and continues to inspire me to continue my amateur build!

The way this car turned out is amazing! I loved to watch the roadtrip were you guys took this little car and seeing that its now one of the leader cars on youtube is just the best thing. This little car has a soul and u kinda can see the smile in its face.

The lil ol Civic came out looking great!

Great vid man. But we're still expecting the mr2 spyder content. Keep up the amazing work.

Wow, the car came out amazing! The guys really did an amazing job with the wrap!

It requires no telling the videos are impeccable and a treat to see the thoughfulness of Ben behind all the works being done to the civic. BUT I wonder why anybody doesn't mention how good the music selection is in each and every Gears and Gasoline video. I usually shazam it all the time and they eventually make it to my driving playlist. haha. ^-^

First of all, that's probably one of the best looking Civics I've ever seen. Hands down. Valvoline cars always have such a great livery. Second, I know there's a racing school down by VIR, maybe it's worth looking into some of their advanced courses? I think they run 3-5K depending on if you bring a car and how long you're doing it for. Best of luck this season!

Way to go guys, Huge support from Croatia, the homeland of Rimac Nevera

Had a lot of fun at Gridlife watching you track this beauty! Great job guys!! Hope to see you guys at another event soon.

No matter how many times I see it get done, I am always in awe of car wrapping..... looks awesome

Hell yea, The folks at IW did an amazing job, came out dope AF! Can't believe I missed seeing the Civic, I drive past IW almost everyday 💀📦🔥🔰

I'm getting chills just thinking about that car! Amazing guys!!

The Civic is looking way more aggressive than before ! You will be a champion soon. Good luck !

Happy to see your progress over the years! Great meeting you and Luke. Thank you for repping our tires!!

You can tell a good race car if it looks like it's going fast when it's sat still.... you've done a great job there with the design

The Civic looks awesome! I especially love the new Honda grille wrap 👌

What was just a nice clean type-r recreation, tuenwd into a small track car thatyou can enjoy on both a track and public roads.... And look at it now, a full speck track beast that inspired me and probably lots of other people to start building their own track cars ( in my situation a track civic that can be a street car and a track car for events) im just starting to get my licence, so i have little to no experience behind a wheel... but under the hood i know my ways. Thanks to G&G for inspiring my pasion in cars. ❤️💋Cant wait for the next gridlife event video

What an awesome looking race livery ever 👌🏼😎 the Civic LOOKS BEASTLY NOW!

Thanks for sticking that red Type R Honda badge on the grill! RESPECT FOR THE REPLICA

It is so.good to see those valvoline words in their correct orientation both left and right, saw a lot of wrapper just mirrored them when it comes to the same situation. It just spell wrong...

Literal goosebumps during the final livery reveal shots 😍

So your telling me this is the little replica type r civic involved in an accident in some course with a miata. Seriously i love what y´all do i look up to you guys.

At 11:55......as they say in the industry, this is the "money shot"! Damn, the car looks great!

The day this car will be available a Hot Wheels or even better a 1:18 model car, I will be very very happy. This is an amazing journey!

Omg, this thing is insane. Such a trip from what it was to now. Absolutely love it.

Damm boi your car went form rookie lapping around to pro racer seting records. It makes me feel so happy that your car has came so far.

Sexier civic man. Nice to hear that you chose every brand that are part of your journey. More power to every staff and crew of GnG. ben&ben 💪

Man this is awesome I remember the humble beginnings now this. Just WOW. Keep it up man!

"It's not about size, it's about width." I keep trying to tell this to my girlfriend but she's not a car person and doesn't know what I'm talking about : (

So cool as a Fredericksburg local to see y’all return to Illusions once more. They’re THE best!!

S/O to Devonte Waller for a clean edit! Great episode! Good job G&G👍🏼

Honestly your EK has been inspiration for me to work on my 97 ej8 sedan. Slowly but surely. Maybe one of these days I’ll run into you at gridlife.

It’s just so well put together. Absolute beauty of a car

Congrats on the sponsorships, long time coming!! Looking forward to the progression of the season, car looks great!

the red honda badge stickered onto the front end is an especially nice touch

Reminds me of the 90's Martini Valvoline WRC Focus.... LOVE IT!

Started from the bottom now you're here! She looks like a proper racecar now! I love it!

What a finish. It looks incredible in that wrap.

Just watched this video for a 2nd time. I think this is my favorite video of yours so far. Your usual quality in combination with such a major change to the car makes this one stand out.

It's amazing just how far the civic has come,it's very motivational too! Thank you guys for all the awesome content,as always I was nothing but impressed,quality videos in every aspect! And yes I'm still absolutely loving the Honda content....please keep em coming

Dude..absolute stunner with that wrap and those brakes.

Hey Ben, you should take a play out of the euro book and get some RS3 brake ducts. Theyre not intrusive like hoses but I'm sure they'd help with your heat problems!

Amazing video, for an amazing car with an amazing livery. And I have to admit, I don't normally throw compliments at channels, videos, cars, liveries and people. Well done boys, well done!

amazing to see valvoline as a sponsor, been watching the little civic since your road trips! keen to see more podiums

Ooohh I have been wanting to do that to my headliner on my ep3 for a while, looks dope.

the car came out Killer guys. Top notch build!!

We have an EK endurance car. We run brake ducts for another reason... The axles need cooling. We were going through a few on higher speed courses until we blew air at the brake and CV. Just another issue with FWD and going fast.

Wow that’s a sick transformation. Car looks awesome 👏🏻

This civic has come a long way when I first saw him come out of gears and gasoline and I will follow it to the end, from the philippines and waiting to see what else this car can reach

Best car video quality on KZfaq hands down , and I watch ALOT of KZfaq . Can’t wait to meet you guys again !

Dannnnnng that warp makes it look soooo cool awesome work guys

Honestly this right here is lifegoals. Congrats man!

Wow. Great job on everything as always. More power to all of you and more podium finishes!

That is sooooo sick. Everything about this vid is top notch! Keep up the good work. Ill be rutting for you.

Three new wrap is sick!!!! Good luck this season!!!😎👍

This series is becoming an insane show to watch from start to finish

Was super cool to see this at Alpine fest you guys have really come a long ways.

This thing looks SICK! You are doing amazing with this setup! Can't wait to see how things progress this year!

That's dope on stroids!!! Awesome design on the wrap!!

That's the first time I've ever seen someone wash a brake disc like in the sink it's a plate, rather than just spraying it down with brake cleaner 😂

Man you're living the dream! It's been awsome to see how far you guys have come. Live it up for all of us average Joes!

Awesome job! The result was really off the scale! Keep pushing and sending those videos! Kudos From Portugal!

Awwwwe man, you have to prep that board! If it starts coming down again, remove the material and scrub with a stiff plastic bristle brush to remove all the old foam. Then clean up the material as needed and reglue.
