B18C 1978 Honda Civic: First Love

Hello Everyone,

In this episode we have Juan and his 1st gen Civic. He has owned the vehicle for 20 years. Yes! 20 years wow! He has gone through many changes. Many motor swaps, paint jobs and wheel setups. However, he has done an amazing job in keeping the vehicle looking clean as possible. He has done major small details. Details that only 1st gen Civic owners would know. Thus, it was fun learning about the changes he has made to this point. Hope you guys enjoy the walk around of outside and in the future video we will learn the guts and interior of this amazing civic. Thank you for the support!

I rarely ever comment on videos...but this car deserves one. As an "elder" builder this is more my style. Kudos to the owner!

Hello everyone, thank you for the support. I have no idea why all them glitches. It is really disappointing. I have not done anything different than previous videos. I am not sure what the next step will be. It is not fair for the owners nor you guys. When I edit there is no glitches at all.

I've owned my Civic for 20 years too but it's because I can't afford to buy a car!!! She is the best car I've ever owned! I'm thinking of restoring it for my daughter!!! Beautiful car yours is!!!!

Very cool car! Used to have a 78 with a 1.2 litre, Weber carb, headers, tuned distributor, sport suspension - it ran like a champ, day-in, day-out!

Had a brown one in 87 "THE BROWNIE" it had the 1500 and a 120 speedo, she used to get 107. I fished alot back then, they are better than bugs offloading.Great cars!! Im a Ford Truck guy, its hard to say but, the Japanese build one hell of a automobile.

My first car was an ‘89 Civic and I would love to have it again. My Dad drove this ‘78!

I used to be on that 1stGenCivic forum! I bought a Weber carb off a dude there. I also did the 4x100 conversion, had 92 Civic front brakes, Enkei wheels, Bilstein shocks etc etc

What does the car weigh with the bigger engine, larger brakes & rotors, bigger rims and tires? These things weigh 1500 stock but you may be pushing closer to 1800? I love how light my 1978 Civic 1200 is!!

I love these old Honda's I have owned few. Honda civic 1981 2 door hatch and a Honda civic 4 door hatch and it was a 81. I also had a Honda accord 2 door hatch back it was 1982. I owned the Honda accord 4 door trunk 82. I owned the Honda civic 2 door hatch 1978 and I loved them all. My favorite was my Honda civic 2 door hatch 1978 cvcc engine.
