My 1991 Honda Civic hatchback rebuild. The car was in really bad shape and desperately needed TLC, so I went ahead and restored her from scratch with the help of a few buddies who run a shop. The whole process took about 9 months, hence 'The Rebirth' title which seems to go along well like it's a new born baby.
The motor is B16A with: CTR pistons, full Omni valvetrain, CAT cams, ITR IM, Mild P&P head, H22A injectors, OBD1 converted, and stock B16A header. The exhaust is Apexi WS2. The actual numbers at the dynapack are pretty embarrassing (I was just trying to get her to run efficiently for the emissions test, which she passed no problem). I have no idea what this motor is capable of. I'll post more vids once she's fully tuned. Props to Nick at Teknotik for the tuning.

*Parts alone for this project costed about $5K to 6K. I did the labor with the help of my buddies and bodywork was done by an affiliate. So I spent roughly $10K in total. I plan to keep this car forever so I don't see 10K as much money at all.

  • Thanks for all the comments! I apologize I haven't updated anything on my account for a long while. To answer some ppl's questions:

    I added extra info in the description regarding how much I spent on this rebuild.

    Yes I still have this car (of course!), and sorry no it is not for sale.

    I never expected so many views! Thank you all!

    Now I have a question for you all, if I try to make some money from the youtube views, will this video get shut down for having the music in the background?

  • That was awesome. That is exactly how I wanted to repaint my ef. Was yours Championship White? Was that the original hood? How long was the painting process?

  • @sperbad

    Yes the paint is Champ White. The hood was part of the JDM EF front clip I bought at a warehouse. Body and paint took about 3 weeks (including sand blast)

see all
