We Dumped $50,000 into our $500 Civic

We’re installing the last upgrades on our $500 Civic to see if it will all be worth it.

Donut = We like cars, and we like making videos about cars. Hopefully our videos make you like cars too.

It's truely incredible how Donut manages to spend so much money modifying cars that don't run

[GrandPotatoe]

That Civic is Donut's highest paid employee.

50k to make 230hp non-running horses. That's kind of impressive honestly. It's great entertainment and a shining example of how tuner cars go wrong. I love the content, it's like watching a train wreck. Please don't stop putting it out.

You guys managed to make a Honda unreliable! 😂 job well done boys

[ssaustin]

I went to school for HVAC, and you guys made the explanation of refrigeration process more digestible than most of the people teaching it for a living.

Props to the editors for giving a perfect presentation on how the hvac system works

[fdnkz]

50K on a Civic with an outcome of 230hp and a dead engine... 🤣🤣🤣

[team_lucky]

I think i enjoy donut for not over glorifying the process of modifying these cars, and they show all the headaches you typically run into when you do more than just bolt ons! Good stuff guys

The fan shroud for the radiator does make a significant difference in high stress situations. If you plan on taking the car to the track regularly, you should definitely run a fan shroud. If your plan is to have a street car that doesn't get beat on regularly, the shroud is optional, but keep in mind that you still might have cooling issues if it's too hot outside.

This really shows you need a good platform and a direction for your build. If you don't know where you're supposed to end up, you get the worst of multiple worlds and the best of some

You took the phrase "Polishing a turd" to a new level. And, I'm impressed!

[miniditka]

Thank you for not editing the issues and failures you encounter on a build. Donut has given me the confidence to take on big car projects and it's nice to know that I'm not cursed. These asinine issues are just common when you're wrenching. Thank you everyone at Donut, from the YouTube channel to Past Gas and DRS (formerly 😢).

The lady behind you guys when the engine died must've screamed "Move that piece of shit out of the road" LOL.

with the amount of power the power steering system pulls i’d also recommend upgrading factory grounds and alternator positives, that factory alternator is going to struggle with all that amperage being pulled

[lakeofire]

i would love an 8 hour video with all these little animations from every video explaining everything about cars, like the whole thing bc yall make it so easy to understand. jobe literally taught me how to put coils on my car and i had 0 experience

[garycasey]

This is the smallest return for 50k i've ever seen, good youtube content though

[soggycivic]

I love the sound of ITBs! I feel like they could’ve spent less on an 4 piston head, skunk2 ultra, cams, on e85 and make 300whp all motor and still have IACV making it easier to start the car. Especially in warmer climates… I couldn’t pull any of that

[therealjoshtodd]

hope you guys are gonna get a hood with a sick ass scoop for a sweet ram air situation
