This is the most extreme Civic EG6 in the world, first look at the Built By Legends Honda Civic, JDM

*Please turn on CC for English subtitles *

The long awaited in depth look of the second Built By Legends restomod project car, the true JDM 1994 Honda Civic SiR II EG6 is here. Displayed in Spoon Sports Type One garage in the 2020 Spoon Collection, JDM and Honda fans alike were excited at the sight of something that has never been done before. A custom side flow exhaust muffler made of titanium that is based on a similar design that was used in the 1993-4 JTCC (Japan Touring Car Championship) Civic Ferio SiR EG9 with a special B18C based 2.0 litre engine giving about 300PS! The purpose of going to this extreme of exhaust routing not serves to increase torque and power, but to achieve something that most road car tuners have not been able to attempt or have the know how to do. By making the manifold to the side, the engineers are able to lower the engine by an impressive 40mm. This makes a significant difference to the centre of gravity, which will have a direct effect on handling characteristics. Making this closer to a true 'racing car' on the road.

BBL"s partners are renowned top of the Japanese tuning industry Spoon Sports and Opera Performance, but in this episode we also reveal the man responsible for crafting the beautiful and intricate titanium exhaust system, which is complete from manifold to tail pipe. This one off system has seen uncountable hours of design, testing, prototype making, fitting to make achieve the high standards that BBL has envisioned for its fully tuned road ready car.

A car that has engine power with out a finely tuned chassis will not be pleasurable to drive or achieve the performance to call it a unique tuning car. For BBL, simply restoring the chassis was not enough. In order to make this the best handling EG generation Civic that fans can admire and be the next level dream, the body had to be strengthened more without the use of race only roll cages. This was achieved by perhaps an industry first of bonding copious amounts of carbon fibre directly to the body in key strategic areas, thereby increasing rigidity to levels that potentially exceed a Type R body.

Join us in this video as explore the technical details and the build that is done by some of the best in the motorsports and tuning industry from Japan. Built By Legends, not by amateurs in a backyard.

You have made this channel into one of the best car channels online. Simply amazing. Thank you for showing Japan and these amazing machines. We love Japanese culture here in America.

[NycktheDyck]

Imagine if your job was to work in such a place, designing and developing these kinds of projects. Now imagine that your job is to research, document and report on these projects. What a dream job you have!

[nkosicollier]

The background music at the start really hits the spot ✌🏾😎✌🏾

I would love to drive one of these Civics BBL. What a mixture between tuning, engineering, passion and art. Superexcited to see captain testdrive it.

Grey color is used to make it easier for spotting cracks, in case the body is stressed too much.

Captain Bradford keeps calling this tuning, I think Engineering would be a better word here? Fantastic!

The 90s era JTCC and JGTC cars are the ones I adore the most. Sadly those two racing series got very little air time in the US even long after those series were over but I built many scale models of GT-R's like the famous blue Calsonic R32 just to name one. Love what Built by Legends is doing and I appreciate this channel covering it in such detail.

Infinite amount of love and respect for the authenticity of this this channel. Thankyou JDM Masters ❤️🔥

[mareczuczek]

This is the finest video that YouTube recommend me in a long time. What a masterpiece to watch with the morning coffee

[gregcass]

Love that 80's style intro music.. god I love Japan

[TheBobes]

I'm not too crazy about Civics but I have to admit they might be the most "go-kart" cars ever made. Pure fun.

[ModSquad]

What an ABSOLUTE trip it was to see myself and my project eg6 inside this video, thank you for using my clip, it seemed to be one of the only low budget clips you used. It's an honor to be in a video with such a prestigious build of an

[Djou-Karl]

The exhaust work is seriously impressive! N/A builds are always fun to watch!

[davidhodges]

My favorite YT channel by far. Capt always giving the in-depth details. What a beautiful build. Now lets get a restomod series on Capt's EK9

[Mike_]

Oh the EG6! Such an iconic 90s car. This Civic(in a Coupe version) was actually my very first car when I turned 18 and I was able to afford my first car haha..
I'm a Subaru fan now.. but this EG6 is the one that started my big Love for Hondas, the Integra GSR, the Prelude, The Fit and later the beloved S2000.
Now this EG6 here is simply sick! Thank you for this video..

[rupertojr.flores]

Wow! What a build! It's very nice without a turbo and you don't need it at that kind of build.

[TeoFeL]

When I watch your videos I fall asleep not because they are boring but because they are so well made with the nice melodies from behind and all these Japanese details that remind you of a dream. Thank you for the good work you are doing and I sincerely regret the evolution of the car over the last decade.

as an eh3 owner who bought it from the 1st owner back in 2000, who still has it in his garage as an ongoing project car, this video makes me drool. Can't wait for the update. Arigato.

[JonC]

Oh yeah... Brings back a lot of fun memories. That Honda VTEC scream!

Vacuum Forming creates "structural carbon-fiber". Anyone can mold regular carbon-fiber, but for structural purposes it needs to be Vacuum Formed!
