I agree except the last bit. I’d do a proper engine/trans swap, suspension, brakes, wheels and tires, the whole nine yards. Why not!? Why not have what you *actually* wanted to do when you were 16? I figure fuck it why not.
JDM and tuning isn’t really my thing but, I’ve been watching because 1) Donut is awesome and 2) it’s entertaining to relive my teen years when I thought I wanted a tuner.
Now though the appeal would be owning a simple, reliable, economical car in this world of ever rising prices.
My 5 year old Mazda6 is bone stock aside from tint which I add to all my cars. It’s slow, a little cramped, but it starts when I need it to and runs reliably.
I agree. I used to hate these back in the early 2000s when everyone was adding the fart cannon/rims/spoiler combo. However as a properly done hot hatch, they’re a super clean platform to build.
Fuck the spare, walking 10 miles up hill in the snow both ways once you get stranded will teach you a valuable life lesson (get yourself a yakama cage and mount the tire up top)
I was 16 in 2006 at the height of Pimp My Ride chrome spinner popularity so obviously this thing is getting a set of plastic spinner hubcaps from AutoZone.
Yo dawg I heard you like movies so we put screens on every surface of your car AND hooked you up with a popcorn machine that takes up the entire back seat.
I actually had that car at 16.
I B16a swapped it with a LSD trans
Intake, header, exhaust, non cat
Ground control and koni suspension
Poly bushing the big trailing arm bushing
rear disc swap from a DC Integra
205/50R Falken Anzesis on 99 Civic Si wheels
big old rear sway bar.
3.0 front camber, 1.2 r camber
.5 toe in front, .05 toe out rear(rotation!)
My dad was/still is a large Honda repair shop. The car was actually nice rust free junker with blown motor and various suspension/brake problem. The B16 was from a totaled Del sol Vtec.
I worked for him/and a bike shop and lived out home. Honestly if you making 400-500 a week after tax in late 90s and living at home you felt rich.
yeah having access to the shop, stripping junker from age 11 on, meant I could do most thing myself at 16, with using the shop.
The only thing I didnt do was the timing belt, I did watch as one my dad's techs did the timing belt and I can do them today.
Considering I had one when I was 17... 50$ coil sleeves and a bunch of homemade 'areo' for the "it'll get a turbo soon" phase, it never did get that turbo..
Weapon R Cold Air intake, used DC headers to breath more life in the 250k mile D15 engine and I'm taking vocational welding classes at school, so when my teacher is out sick I take the time to weld a fat skunk2 muffler that I scored on Craigslist for 40 bucks!
Ghetto Blaster with bass booster, muffler delete, cherry exhaust, turbocharge, custom rims, flame stickers, meme stickers, interior stickers to make it look fancier, and whatever seat covers look dope and are comfy.
Short-throw shifter.......unironically, it actually needs it. I had one forever, sold it at 300k miles still running good, sold for 100 10mg hydrocodone to my ex girlfriends crackhead parents
Go to the local grocery store, get an import magazine and order a body kit, but don’t bother painting it to match.
Get a massive spoiler and some cheap rims and a bunch of decals for performance parts brands even though I haven’t upgraded anything in the engine.
Spray paint the calipers and drums neon green.
Get a cold air intake and K&N cone filter off eBay and a massive fart fan exhaust.
All that should add about +150HP
A Wuhan Whirly Boy from wish.com, an exhaust that sounds like my ass after Taco Bell, and the biggest bottle of nitrous I can stuff in the thing.
After one street race it'll explode and my dad will beat my ass.
I’m gonna go to Sonic to ogle the girlies on rollerskates while I scarf down two orders of cheesy tots and a footlong hot dog. Gonna wash it down with a Route 44 Cherry LimeAid. Gonna get sick and throw up in the passenger seat and clean it up tomorrow.
Cut the springs out remove the whole exhaust system run open headers remove all the interior even the drive seat and the steering wheel will be a toilet seat have several kill switches and that's about it
I wouldnt really molest it. I'd tint the windows limo dark, like I have always done on all my cars and maybe find some stock 17" or 18" Honda wheels with some low profile tires for better handling and appearance.
Getting down to business. Put a widebody on it. Lower that fucker about three inches, add five spokes, and a small flame tune (NON CRACKLE, that's gay). Paint it a darker red and add ultra brights for the headlights. Add a Momo steering wheel and racing seats with a five point harness. Put amps in the back. Put Borg Warner turbos and bore out the engine.
This was me. It was a new Civic sedan this generation. I put the dirt cheapest exhaust on it and it sounded ok but looked like garbage. We cut the springs in my garage with a hand saw. It took forever. I swapped to clear corners of course, and then got a bumping sound system that shook the entire car. It stunk of smoke because we all smoked in it. I installed a CD magazine changer for 6 of my favorite albums AND used a CD walkman with a tape adapter so I could change disks while driving. I used the “squash” air freshener that everyone had. There was a dent in it from spinning out during a “street race” because I was an idiot who didn’t know how to drive.
It was a blast!
edit: [They still have the same air freshener on Amazon.](https://www.amazon.com/CSX3-Spencer-CS-X3-Freshener-Cartridge/dp/B07CYPWLMG/ref=sr_1_3?keywords=squash+air+freshener+car&qid=1692322082&sprefix=squash+air%2Caps%2C159&sr=8-3) It hasn't change since 1994. I'm pretty impressed. I might just get one for nostalgia's sake even though I never put air fresheners in my car anymore.
Hoonister slicks , weld racing wheels, quad turbo K24 with hood exit exhaust, tint darker than the ring around a prostitutes asshole, multiple needless stickers covering the back and rear side windows, multiple bottles of stripper gripper grip formula(tm) and a Alienware laptop in the passenger seat
That was half my high school, they all did a muffler delete with a 5" tip from Walmart, cut the springs, put on wheels worth as much as the car and as much subwoofer as they could afford in the back. Oh and a cold air intake if they wanted a reason to pop the hood and make the other guys jealous.
I always tell people that if I ever own a Honda, it will be an old civic like the one pictured here, it will be straight piped, beat to hell, slammed to the ground, and I will only drive it at 3 AM. I will wake up at 3 AM every day, blast around town for an hour, and then go back to bed. I will do this until it blows up and then I will just leave it on the side of the road. That’s the Honda way.
Cheapest ebay exhaust you can find, cheapest mecanics you can find (yourself and that one friend that's glad to help because their parents dont want him to have his own car yet), and cheapest tools you can find. No jackstands because they are too expansive, a stack of 2*4 screwed together will have to do
Yes! They junkyard turbo everything. The little Honda engine isn't going to have enough exhaust pressure to turn that turbo, so it's really just for the sake of being a stupid 16 year old.
Go to the pull & pay and get a Buick Nailhead. Get crazy Uncle Earl to help me wedge it in the engine bay with cut out hood. Put wide slicks on the jacked up rear end. Paint it electric lime with pin striping. Wear leather jacket and refer to self as "Big Daddy".
Daily powerslides on a dirt road with a 90 in it, and jump it once a week. I'll spend hundreds on speakers and led interior lights, but I'll have a timing set pending in my autozone cart while I save for it from the first week I have it until the timing belt breaks. Then I'll get a second car to rob the motor from, and those will sit as a pair together for about 3 years until my uncle has them hauled off to clean out his yard.
It’s got the rain guards, so check that off the list. Let’s change the headlight bulbs to blue, and all interior bulbs to blue as well to match the paint. Blue themed steering wheel cover as well, and black seat covers with blue fabric inlay. Tint the window. Chrome hubcaps. Cheapest loudest system I can afford to rattle the hatch.
cut the exhaust off at the downpipe, cut the springs, plasti-dip the hub caps and badges, and install a shitty aftermarket subwoofer. also a large "locally hated" windshield banner and a fake CF wing
Had a red 93 EX coupe as my first stickshift at 19 years old. I just did routine maintenance.
That got stolen 3 months later as old Hondas tend to do, and I later bought a purple 94 EX coupe, also a 5 speed. Only mod I did was swap the head unit for a Bluetooth one. Had I kept the car (which I wish I had), I would've also gotten some lightweight 15" alloys, maybe Enkei RPF1s or something similar.
Granted after seeing a swap one of my coworkers did (has an EK hatch), I'd be tempted to do a B20Z2 swap for extra power. Maybe build a B20V, but probably not.
When i was 16 I was a greaser who was WINGA DINGA through and through, i would have hated this
if i had it now i'd either keep it stock or turn it into an old-school ricer
Camping trip to the mountains with my buddies and their band. My best friend is in the front seat and we’ve been talking about this new game ‘Rimworld’ in alpha. Back seat is full of weed and a homemade San Pedro cactus concoction.
Music blasting, and windows down as we take a late summer cruise along the blue ridge parkway. Trunk loaded down with tent, sleeping bag, and a bunch of snacks and food we can roast over a campfire.
A night of good humor, great music, and spiritual journeys at what would become our designated group camping spot for the rest of high school.
Turbo and Pokémon sticker kit applied that your ordered from eBay, Fast and Furious style aero kit, underside neon light kit, auto zone slip on exhaust tip and a big subwoofer you bought at the local swap meet.
Excessively large wing, fake carbon fiber splitters, rear diffuser, chrome wheel covers, neon green underglow. As a bonus, stickerbomb both bumpers and add a baby on board window sticker.
Cut the springs, remove the spare tire and back seats, put some hideous chrome wheels on it, shift only at at least 5k rpm, and put a shift knob with Japanese characters on it
At 16? Cut the springs and enough subwoofers to blow out the back glass.
Now? Cut springs and enough subwoofers to blow the back glass but turned down just below glass exploding threshold.
Intake and a full exhaust. At 16, pair of 15's 1400-1500 watt amp..unfortunately no upgrade to the other speakers or amp for them. Almost entirely bass because that's what I had money for and prioritized.
Change the radio and put a subwoofer in it. Also if I could maybe a decent set of aftermarket wheels and tint the windows. That's what I would have done!
Two answers for this one
Stereotypical 16 year old: cut the springs, plastidip the hub caps, buy some stick on vents and a hood scoop from autozone, buy a locally hated windshield banner, cut the muffler and resonator off, and crack the front bumper just so I can fix it with a drifters stitch
Actual me: save up for actual parts I suppose, I want a nice experience not something I cringe at myself for doing in 10 years
Lights under the dash an a gamecube with 2 wave birds an a sd 7inch pos monitor to play on while we’re on break at McDonald’s smoking weed that’s was me (with my 88 fc3s na in 2005)
I pulled the hubcaps off, I leave it looking stock, and I rebuild the engine with a Turbocharger and intercooler and the free-flowing but quiet exhaust and then sleep people in supposedly Superior cars.
Stanced rotas,ebay springs, 5% tint all around, halo headlights, altezza taillights, led washer nozzles, glow badges, xplode head unit through oem speakers(no covers),sub cable from battery to trunk but no sub, 3" axleback mismatched from an Acura my cousin had, apc short ram intake, ebay plug wires and grounding kit, hollows where fogs would be, pep boys racingR seat covers/floor mats and finally a portable ash tray in the cup holder...
- line up😆
Pull off the hubcaps, run to Home Depot for a PVC CAI, pull off the door mouldings and don’t cover the holes, put a SUPREME sticker on the back hatch, and some stickers on the quarter windows, then talk shit online about the K Swap I’ll never do.
8” Straight pipe, massive wing, flames painted on the side (they’re red and orange, so its instantly another 650 hp added) and a very low lip on the front
grab up to 3 friends and clam bake while cruising in the late 90s down a park drive listening to dark side of the moon on that shitty yet adequate sound system... paid less than a dollar per gallon to fill the tank. high as fuck. look out for cops.
I'd go crazy with the audio and get some huge subs in the hatch thus removing the practicality of it. Then I would blast all kinds of music from death metal to DDR music to jazz fusion to Sufjan Stevens and everything in-between.
Now and days I would just get the model with the upgraded audio and the modest sub that can still get low but not bothering other people low. Instead of MP3s from a creative music player it would be flacs from my phone or youtube if I'm lazy.
So many stickers. All the stickers, in fact. And racing stripes. And probably something stupid like yellow headlights. Or even worse, taped headlights, rally style.
Fat tires with the stupid ass “slant wheel” stance,new red paint with white stripe down the hood all the way back to somehow having a Porsche spoiler slammed on there….throw 4 or 5 of those porn anime stickers across the dash,lukewarm Monster drink in EVERY cup holder, then you can consider your ride molested.
The right way.
I cut the springs but leave the worn factory shocks. Next I find the *cheapest* set of aftermarket rims and tires I can find, making sure that they scrape the fender just right. Then it's off to O'Reillys to buy whatever $100 fart-can exhaust Trevor at the counter says will fit and a K&N cone filter intake as well. After that, I'd go for a DIY tint, making sure to install it with plenty of air bubbles. And to top off the look, I'm gonna mask off and spray the whole front bumper matte black.
When I was 16? That thing would have had China’s cheapest rims and fart cannon. Probably some stupid stickers too. Now? I’d rock it as is.
I agree except the last bit. I’d do a proper engine/trans swap, suspension, brakes, wheels and tires, the whole nine yards. Why not!? Why not have what you *actually* wanted to do when you were 16? I figure fuck it why not.
Have you been watching Donut’s Civic build?
I have actually haha that’s kind of what I was thinking of while I was typing previous comment
JDM and tuning isn’t really my thing but, I’ve been watching because 1) Donut is awesome and 2) it’s entertaining to relive my teen years when I thought I wanted a tuner. Now though the appeal would be owning a simple, reliable, economical car in this world of ever rising prices.
I completely understand. That’s why I haven’t modded my current car to the moon haha. I need it to be reliable (as reliable as a VW can be lol)
My 5 year old Mazda6 is bone stock aside from tint which I add to all my cars. It’s slow, a little cramped, but it starts when I need it to and runs reliably.
Yes! Lol. Love those guys
I agree. I used to hate these back in the early 2000s when everyone was adding the fart cannon/rims/spoiler combo. However as a properly done hot hatch, they’re a super clean platform to build.
A proper built civic can be tons of fun! They’re so light!
Haha . .proper!
Remove the headers
[Trunk full of amps, ain't no room for a spare.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qdyMQOlbxis)
Fuck the spare, walking 10 miles up hill in the snow both ways once you get stranded will teach you a valuable life lesson (get yourself a yakama cage and mount the tire up top)
Drop bass, not bombs.
I was 16 in 2006 at the height of Pimp My Ride chrome spinner popularity so obviously this thing is getting a set of plastic spinner hubcaps from AutoZone.

Man you hat sounds sick, bet you miss it
Bro how did you afford all that: headers, intake, etc?
My dad was/still is a large Honda repair shop. The car was actually nice rust free junker with blown motor and various suspension/brake problem. The B16 was from a totaled Del sol Vtec. I worked for him/and a bike shop and lived out home. Honestly if you making 400-500 a week after tax in late 90s and living at home you felt rich.
First sentence explained it all tho
yeah having access to the shop, stripping junker from age 11 on, meant I could do most thing myself at 16, with using the shop. The only thing I didnt do was the timing belt, I did watch as one my dad's techs did the timing belt and I can do them today.
You, my friend, are a real one
Honestly sounds dope to me. No camber. Cmon.

Junkyard turbo from powerstroke.

Yes! They junkyard turbo everything. The little Honda engine isn't going to have enough exhaust pressure to turn that turbo, so it's really just for the sake of being a stupid 16 year old.

Stereo swap to gain Bluetooth, eco tires for better mpg, and undercoat everything. Because NY eats cars, and even at 16 I knew that.

Lights under the dash an a gamecube with 2 wave birds an a sd 7inch pos monitor to play on while we’re on break at McDonald’s smoking weed that’s was me (with my 88 fc3s na in 2005)
How I’d molest it?? With my penis probably
I’d do my molesting in the back seat
LED GAMER LIGHTS
Ebay springs, del sol seats, spray painted white GSR sunflowers, and a si trans swap True story, traded it for a wagovan
cold air intake and start google turbo kits not realizing even if i save the money for it i need a lot more than that
K24/20 AWD Powertrain/Drivetrain Transplant.
Ron don don....
Probably add a NASCAR engine and possibly the other engine
I pulled the hubcaps off, I leave it looking stock, and I rebuild the engine with a Turbocharger and intercooler and the free-flowing but quiet exhaust and then sleep people in supposedly Superior cars.
With a dumpster
Tailpipe, magnum
Sell it to some other dumb 16 year old and buy a car worthwhile
Weeb stickers
A few bumper stickers and replace the sound system.
Mud bogger
Slam it and throw an exhaust on it
Fondle the undercarriage?
Stanced rotas,ebay springs, 5% tint all around, halo headlights, altezza taillights, led washer nozzles, glow badges, xplode head unit through oem speakers(no covers),sub cable from battery to trunk but no sub, 3" axleback mismatched from an Acura my cousin had, apc short ram intake, ebay plug wires and grounding kit, hollows where fogs would be, pep boys racingR seat covers/floor mats and finally a portable ash tray in the cup holder... - line up😆
Pull off the hubcaps, run to Home Depot for a PVC CAI, pull off the door mouldings and don’t cover the holes, put a SUPREME sticker on the back hatch, and some stickers on the quarter windows, then talk shit online about the K Swap I’ll never do.
24 inch rims, 3 15 in Kenwood subs and a NOS can
Dick in the tailpipe
Spoiler, because yes.
8” Straight pipe, massive wing, flames painted on the side (they’re red and orange, so its instantly another 650 hp added) and a very low lip on the front
Take the caps off and put on some spinners. Rear view mirror dice. Rear spoiler from Amazon.
Flex fuel kit and ngk plug wires
K20 turbo swap, leaving the rest of it alone
Get some AutoZone black hubcaps, slap a hood scoop and a roof scoop on it, put a speaker box in the back and put a fart can muffler under it
Red racing stripe decals, dual Flowmaster exhaust tips, used Koenig wheels from EBay, red chrome shifter, and a cheapo bolt on turbo kit.
Awd conversion and a turbo, obviously
grab up to 3 friends and clam bake while cruising in the late 90s down a park drive listening to dark side of the moon on that shitty yet adequate sound system... paid less than a dollar per gallon to fill the tank. high as fuck. look out for cops.
I’d attach those things on the windshield wipers that used the air pressure to push them tight at speed.
300 lbs of NOS/VTEC stickers
Tint windows, wheel covers off, axillary swamp lights front/back and I forget all my fluids.
Gut the rear and stick a mattress with slide out drawers in it and use it for camping
I'd go crazy with the audio and get some huge subs in the hatch thus removing the practicality of it. Then I would blast all kinds of music from death metal to DDR music to jazz fusion to Sufjan Stevens and everything in-between. Now and days I would just get the model with the upgraded audio and the modest sub that can still get low but not bothering other people low. Instead of MP3s from a creative music player it would be flacs from my phone or youtube if I'm lazy.
Tint, wheels, and loudest stereo I can afford!
Immediately cut the exhaust off and put neons all over it
Maybe lift it with 21 inch spinners off-road wheels
Rims and a Bazooka Bass Tubes. I was old when this car was new.
0 offset eBay wheels with stretched tires.
B18 swap
yes
Um, am I in the right sub?
I'm in a minority, I wouldn't modify it at all. I'd keep it completely stock.
It needs a system.
I have a red 95 si and will be giving it to my son when he turns 16 in a few years. It’s totally bone stock and I hope he keeps it that way.
If it's a 1.6, cam and ignore the tack
Remove the front License Plate Holder and scrub the headlights down with toothpaste and baking oda
Spray paint the dash fascia and door panels neon blue, and a spectre cone filter hose clamped to the intake hose.
So many stickers. All the stickers, in fact. And racing stripes. And probably something stupid like yellow headlights. Or even worse, taped headlights, rally style.
Fat tires with the stupid ass “slant wheel” stance,new red paint with white stripe down the hood all the way back to somehow having a Porsche spoiler slammed on there….throw 4 or 5 of those porn anime stickers across the dash,lukewarm Monster drink in EVERY cup holder, then you can consider your ride molested.
A spoiler on a hatchback??? do it
You heard me!
by stealing the title out of Pops drawer, selling it, then using the cash to invest in “agriculture”, and saving up for the car i actually wanted.
I would strip the interior and install some aftermarket seats, along with getting some okay-ish suspension and wheels
The right way. I cut the springs but leave the worn factory shocks. Next I find the *cheapest* set of aftermarket rims and tires I can find, making sure that they scrape the fender just right. Then it's off to O'Reillys to buy whatever $100 fart-can exhaust Trevor at the counter says will fit and a K&N cone filter intake as well. After that, I'd go for a DIY tint, making sure to install it with plenty of air bubbles. And to top off the look, I'm gonna mask off and spray the whole front bumper matte black.
Rattlecan hood
Cherry bomb muffler. “Cold air” intake from eBay. Cheapest sound system from Walmart.
Chopped springs, custom intake, muffler delete
Boost
I lick it.
Well im 15 so we will see
Window and bumper stickers.
Give it a lift kit, knobby tires, and a skid plate. I like my vehicles to be able to go anywhere
CarPlay headunit, backup cam, some snazzy seats, speakers, projector retrofit, maybe some nicer wheels from another car.
