I miss the old money pit videos. This is filling that hole in my heart.

Dang yall just raised the value of that thing by a solid 50 cents

Money pit reincarnated, oh how I've missed it. Thank you Zach and Donut for bringing this back again!

I may not know much about Civics, but I've heard that their aftermarket is pretty deep. Can't wait to see what the Donut team does with this Civic!

I like the way Zach works on cars. It may be an old junky Honda, yet he cares enough to paint the holes he drilled. I definitely enjoy this kind of "Money Pit" video, and getting more of the gang involved is good too. This channel is a sleeper with some of the best content out there anywhere.

This seems like a money pit season 3, and I love it. Please continue the season 1 vibes

I definitely expected a longer comparison and better explanation of how it feels with the new suspension.

I love how the Donut crew are able to turn a wrench as compared to other car review channels!

As someone that lives in the “rust belt” I’m so jealous of how easy that car came apart for 400k miles and 25+ years old 😅

If this is acting as another "money pit" I'M ALL FOR IT! Money Pit is my favorite series, can't wait to see what you turn this honda into

Watching Nolan grow in car knowledge and skill is one of my favorite things about Donut.

The way he described it in the first few seconds is EXACTLY what I'd expect a $500 civic to be AT BEST 😂😂

Love to see the old school "money pit" style videos back!

Been waiting for a 'Zach just works on cars' video since a long time now - good to see Donut media finding their roots again. Loved this and want more.

I just found this channel a few days ago and binge watched several hours of videos. I love your variety, straightforwardness, and synergy between members! You guys have the masterclass connection and I feel like I’m watching modern TopGear. Truly a golden channel you guys have.

10:52 If I saw a shock falling from a car like that I would've dove away screaming GRENAAAAADDE

I’m exceedingly jealous at how easily all the bolts just came right out 😂. Here in Pennsylvania it would take a week, a torch, bloody knuckles and plenty of profanity to get that suspension apart lol

YES!!! REAL CAR VIDEOS AGAIN!!! Love this. I hope we see more of this! I miss Money Pit and just legit videos actually about cars.

Man, I learn so much and almost always entertained by these folks at Donut. My generation of peeps doing cool stuff to cool cars I grew up with.

Really brings me back to the time I overhauled the suspension on my 2001 Toyota Corolla and then 2 days later my engine seized up. Those were the days!

PLEASE make this a series this what ive been needing

This is the kind of content I want to see from Donut!!

Love these upgrade videos, Zach is so good at explaining it simply and clearly.

The EG is such an incredible platform! I've been a diehard Mopar guy forever (my first car was a 72 Challenger that I still have), but when it came time to buy my first "practical" car, I went with a 92 hatch, because I wanted a car that got over 40 mpg, super reliable, easy to wrench on and large aftermarket support. Over the course of 6 years I put over 200k miles on mine and absolutely loved it! And whenever parts wore out and needed replacing, I upgraded to high performance parts, because in comparison to what I was used to, they were really cheap. And I have to say after I went through and upgraded the brakes, suspension and a bit of performance upgrades it was a great little go kart.

Zachs always an awesome host, and this is exactly the content I signed up for.

DUDE CONTINUE THIS SERIES , it’s helping me understand my car better!

I remember running custom ground control springs with Koni Yellows on my '99 Integra. I had pretty insane spring rates, I think 350lb up front and 450lb in the rear, no sway bars. Thing was a beast, immediate lift throttle oversteer. I remember when I had H&R race spring with no bumpstops, my upper a-arms started hitting the chassis in the wheel well. No fun. I even had aftermarket angles upper a-arms. Good times, always wanted a Civic hatch, that's my favorite color. I would never advise a FWD noob blast down a canyon in an oversteer setup Civic. Literal lift throttle oversteer, most "racers" aren't used to it.

would love to see a short throw shift upgrade! and maybe a subframe/engine and transmission bushings ?

We realize you gotta do what you gotta do, but this is the content we’re all here for!

I hope they turn this into the next money pit series

Great teaching/learning vid actually. Real dope, thanks

I love how y’all are saving the hooptie… can’t wait to see what a finished product is going to look like!! Y’all should do a Honda gen 7 next!

Can't lie, I'm unbelievably happy to see the Donut lads getting into the old school civic world

As someone from the Midwest, it is INCREDIBLE to see an old civic with high miles like this on a lift with absolutely no rust underneath. In its current state, I could see that car selling for 10x what you paid where I'm from.

I absolutely love this video. Right now I also have a stock EH civic CX and I love seeing some mods done to one in a high quality video. IDK if you guys are planning to swap the engine but if you are, consider a B20VTEC build.

honestly cannot wait to see more of this one.

I really like how in depth this is. Very clear information about where and how to work on the control arm. I wish everyone made videos like this when you google how to do something on your car

I want to see every performance upgrade complete THEN a motor swap. The reaction would be wild!

Finally you guys do a 90s civic! They have so much potential, it'd be cool to see you guys turbo and awd it and preform at events !

man i love these series, havent watched any donut video in a minute but this ones are a must watch fs

So happy you guys are finally building a Honda! As a B-Swapped EK owner suspension was one of my first big upgrades and I was in a very similar boat with worn out parts. I would love to see the braking system gone through in a future episode. Mine at 250k miles had black fluid from disintegrating master cylinder/caliper seals. Brakes were first upgrade/maintenance item. Rear disc swap, new calipers, rotors, pads, brake lines, master cylinder, fluid. Made a huge difference in braking feel and confidence. Also would love to see some old school b-swap action.

I'm honestly more excited for this build series more than anything else on the channel. Oh and the overseas car culture documentaries. Keep em coming guys!

sounds exaggerated but I really like how you all made this sounds easy and do-able. I currently building my 2001 crv (very slow) and am very happy to continue as I watch this (even though in most cases I brought it to a shop to install parts) but I do learn a lot! thanks Donuts :)

Hey guys Great on the Civic suspension upgrades! I am in the middle of a customer's Acura Integra GSR build up doing some very similar mods as your civic and enjoying seeing your build along the way! who knows, my 98 civic hatch back might get some track prep work soon too... Keep up all the great Donut videos

Couple notes for the kids at home: Do not use an impact wrench to tighten bolts to final torque, is almost no cases where its a good idea and you should zip it on lightly and finish by hand... Also when replacing most suspension bushes its a good idea to only lightly assemble them and then lower the car so weight it on suspension bringing it to ride height before tightening. They're using mostly spherical bushings that are self aligning but other types you can have issues with binding where if tightened when fully extended will be over stressing the bush at full compression and it will fail prematurely and not preform as it was designed..... Most good alignment shops will have a 4 post hoist to make tightening at ride height easy ✌ do most at home and trailer it in and have the lads put the final touch on with the alignment.....

This is basically money pit and I love it! Zach is a fantastic host!

My father is from antigo Wisconsin. A man right down the street from his home founded Polaris. He basically invented snowmobiles. Because of this, my grandfather was a pioneer of snowmobile racing. The man who founded the company was apparently a salt of the earth type of guy. After a while, he sold the company and started another company named artic cat. You may have heard of em. Anyway, Polaris rocks and they have NO EQUAL on the trail as far as side by sides are concerned. Cheers to them for continuing to strive for better than was previously available. Also, thanks to the smoking tire for reviewing stuff that is outside of their comfort zone. Another great video matt!

Zach you are killing it! Keep the good work.

I’ve been waiting and waiting for you guys to build out a civic. This is going to be a sweet series.

I'm from New England and i cannot believe this car is so rust free and in such good shape for the miles on it! everything is just coming apart with no issues....it's nuts!

please keep this goin, great content! cant wait to see how this civic will end up! :)

I had the same car in exactly that color and it was an awesome time! Driving these is soo fun! And I loved the double rear door part! :D

I can imagine the weekly meeting for video assignments. “Nolan - you’ve got five Vipers to drive. Zach - the $500 civic. Have fun!”

The fact that wipers don’t turn off absolutely kills me 😂

Love the build vids. Keep them coming.

Hell yeah, I've always wondered what the shiny bar was in the rear of Hondas. I always thought it was just a brace... You learn something new every day 🙌🏼

Zach Jobe working on cars, like the money pit series, is always so enjoyable! Makes me feel like a kid on Sunday watching automotive build shows with my dad. Always enjoy that content and look forward to more!

I could watch these build videos all day long. Please make more.

This is the kind of content that keeps me coming back!

These Civics were so fun to work on. You have so many ways to go. Engine swap into turbo upgrades. Rims + Body Kit + wrap. Interior rip out projects only to add back what you need to drive around with 2 people in the car 😂. Love it! Makes me miss my 99 Ex Civic. 😢❤

I really wish we had a before and after lap time for this stuff. Would have really made for an interesting comparison

Gotta love Nolan's enthusiasm over ANYTHING car related. Bro truly loves these machines. Its veey inspiring! Also the fancy shifts at the end! 💪💪💪

Zach is the man most of the car guys strive to be. doesn't care of stereotypes, just want to have fun build and drive.

Another great video by zac. Informative while remaining entertaining

You guys are definitely going to right path with this EG. Suspensión first and then power. Can’t wait to see the progress on this.

Really enjoyed this video. One of the best parts of the hobby is seeing old cars past their prime getting some upgrades and enjoyment!

Stoked for this series

It would be sick to see a comparison with all brand new OEM parts and see how that handled against all the worn out parts and then how the OEM new parts compare to the aftermarket setup

This was the project this channel needed, hell yeah more of this please!

Can't wait for the engine swap. Stoked on this series.

So glad to see some proper car content back on Donut! Is this a new Money Pit series?

Closest thing to a new Money Pit episode, so im vibin

Always a joy when we get to see Zach working on cars. Especially when you get a surprise cameo from Nolan. Love the work, keep it up.

Thanks for explaining all of that so well! I’ve had trashed bushings on my XT6 forever now, and I never could figure out why the car and wheels would shake and rattle at speed and on turns! Time for another car fixing summer I think!

Need this series! Classic 4 bangers are the best. This is highschool all over again.

Glad to see the Civic is getting some love! Awesome choices in parts.

Please let this turn into a full new series of money pit. I loved those seasons, and I think a lot of other people did as well.

more of this content pls! i need to see the full journey of this car ASAP lol

bringing cars back to life! awesome video!

Thanks for the upload Donut, all you guys rock, even the team in the background that just does the editing, all of you rock!

You guys just started a project with one of my favorite cars of all time! I'm beyond excited for this!

Good to see every thing was torqued to spec with the impact

I really enjoyed the video and im definitely going keep looking for more videos!

This video was totally awesome!! As a gear head who has no mechanical knowledge, this really just set me in the right mood. Now I know what a bushings is, after so many decades. How the strut brace actually works. Thanks Donut Media for this video. Hope you guys can put in a VTEC engine, or maybe add a Turbo, and maybe a tachometer. Anyhow, really stoked to see what other upgrades can be done.

Loved this video! Thank you Zack and the whole team at Donut for your hard work 🙏🏼 this is definitely a car on my wishlist so I’m excited to see what’s next 😆 a few mods I highly recommend to make it look and drive like a Honda should: -Front brake upgrade, rear disc conversion -D series upgrades on one episode, and another swapping in a B-series? 👀 -Maybe an episode where she gets some boost?

Man I love these Civics! Not the fastest cars by a long shot but they handle phenomenally thanks to that all around fully independent suspension. I never had one of my own but man do I want to after watching these.

I had an 89 Civic 4 door sedan with a 1.5l 4 banger in it, and while it definitely struggled a little on the highway, I loved the hell out of that car. There's something about them that is just really visceral and fun, and they're so well built

Please continue working on this like you used to do with Money Pit. Such a winning formula.

Loved how simple and educational this video was. Please do more stuff like this.

Nice video guys! keep'em coming!

Great video, so glad money pit is back!❤

Love this, hoping its the beginning of a new Money Pit series!

I'm so excited for this series. Love EG hatches

I always like Honda improvement content! Well done!

Love the cheap to fun car content

I bet you this goes way better then the subie's

These are the kind of videos I love watching.

Need more done to this car keep it up zack

I have used this video like 4 times now to remember what i needed to do, rebuilding my ek hatch. I super appreciate how much of the actual tear down you guys did show. I do wonder why you didnt swap the trailing arm for a disc brake upgrade or replace the compliance arms?

this is the kind of content we want as car guys! no more dumb wish purchase videos! we love vids like this like the old donut with the high car vs low car
