Project Overview & Initial State

  • 🎯 The video documents "Dream Build 11," a complete transformation of a 2015 Honda Civic Si for a subscriber named Jonathan.
  • ⚠️ Upon arrival, the Civic was in rough condition with broken and missing parts, dents, and imperfect paint.
  • ✨ The car was sent to Tory Pine's Collision Center for a fresh Taffeta White paint job, making it look like new.

Engine and Drivetrain Overhaul

  • 🧼 The engine bay and engine were thoroughly cleaned, with the engine and transmission being removed for a second deep clean.
  • πŸ› οΈ Engine maintenance included replacing the valve cover gasket, timing cover gaskets, oil pan gaskets, and VTEC gaskets to address significant oil leaks.
  • βš™οΈ A new Hybrid Racing fully adjustable shifter and solid cables were installed for a crisp and solid gear change.
  • πŸ’₯ The old clutch was completely worn down to the rivets, necessitating the installation of a new Action Clutch Stage 2 super copper clutch disc with an OEM+ HD single mass flywheel.
  • 🎨 The valve cover was painted wrinkle red, a signature touch for Throttle builds.

Performance and Handling Upgrades

  • πŸ’¨ An AFE Power stainless steel catback exhaust system was installed to improve sound and fix exhaust leaks.
  • πŸš€ The suspension system was upgraded with Blox Racing coilovers, featuring adjustable damping, camber, and height, along with Progress Tech sway bars and SPC rear upper control arms for enhanced adjustability and fitment.
  • πŸ›‘ New EBC rotors and EBC Red Stuff brake pads were installed for improved stopping power.
  • πŸ‘Ÿ The car was fitted with Kansei Corsa 18x9 wheels in gloss gunmetal and Falken Azenus FK510 summer tires (225/40 ZR18).

Interior and Audio Enhancements

  • 🎢 A complete PRV Audio sound system was installed, including two 12-inch subwoofers, two amplifiers, full-range bullet speakers, and dome tweeters, controlled by a DSP for optimal sound quality.
  • πŸ’Ί New Corbeau FXR reclinable seats with forged carbon fiber backs were installed, along with Corbeau sliders and seat rails for a perfect fit.
  • 🏎️ A Zen Carbon Fiber flat-bottom steering wheel with red stitching and carbon fiber interior bezels were added.
  • πŸ’‘ Ambient lighting was installed throughout the interior by Opalite Optics, adding a custom and elevated feel.
  • πŸ”Š The audio system was tested and praised for its clarity and loudness, with the subwoofers providing significant bass.

Final Touches and Delivery

  • ✨ Engine dress-up components from Password JDM in carbon Kevlar were added for aesthetic appeal.
  • πŸ”§ The front end received new headlights, a repainted bumper, new trims, fog light bezels, and a carbon fiber grill.
  • 🏁 Final exterior touches included new side skirts, a paint-matched front lip, new Honda badges, and a Password JDM rear deck lip spoiler.
  • 🎁 The owner, Jonathan, received a care package from WD-40 Brand, including lubricants and swag.
  • πŸŽ‰ Jonathan was overjoyed with the transformation, describing the car as a dream come true and noting its improved handling, smooth clutch, and crisp shifter.
