The MCM Honda Civic Build Video is Live

[Marty]

as usual its been tons of time/effort/editing etc but we got this one done and are very proud of it

it's also a little different way of presenting an MCM video but should give some insight into how much goes into a car, even one thats done in this "style"





<<SPOILERS - DONT READ COMMENTS BELOW BEFORE WATCHING MOVIE>>

FIFTY MINUTES HELL YES.

I love long episodes, thanks guys.

Hoping the second build video will be the same style. As I said on youtube, its amazing seeing everything that gets cut out, and would be awesome to see more of it.

Excellent work guys, can't wait to see the next one!

So by now if you've seen the movie then...




(actually scroll down just in case - dont scroll down if you haven't seen the video)









keep going








and keep going








and there....







So as explained in the video we wanted to try and do TRDLZR again but actually make a car that looks "good" using cheap eBay parts. We also had received so many emails (literally hundreds) from people asking about fake brake callipers, and (well I won't spoil is but 95% of the stuff you'll see in Part 2) and we knew that we'd never do this kind of stuff to our own cars so why not dedicate a whole car to mods that would never usually make their way onto MCM and that way try and relieve some of the people who have been asking us about fake mods for so long.

We were mindful of probably disappointing some people who thought we had turbo'd the civic (sorry guys!) but we've done the turbo > N/A thing before and neither of are that into the Honda scene to really be that excited about working on one seriously. Well at least thats how we started but since driving the thing we've been talking about stripping one out and turning it into a proper track car at some stage. We bought the Civic as a very tongue and cheek statement, but now we've had some time with it, many other things aside, they handle like they're on rails! Very impressive.

Stylistically this is a radically different post production approach to our usual style. We have a lot of film makers and media students who follow the show and we also get a lot of emails from them asking about shot ratios and how we come up with ideas and how they are edited down. We also get a lot of interest from people wanting to see "behind the scenes" so we thought lets make this one more like reality TV and show all the stuff that usually gets cut.

Lastly, congrats to all the people who worked this out already - The astute ones among you saw all the clues that we placed in in the reveal video so congratz to everyone who worked it out, and good work on not going public and keeping to PM's and emails instead.

I'm very excited about Part2 which is where the real cray stuff starts to go down and heaps of the mods of this forum turned up to help.

Thanks for your support guys and for being open to something a little different from MCM HQ!

Awesome video guys! Love the raw footage, your both hilarious to watch! Love how you put this civic together on such a low budget, loving the fake seats lol cant wait to see the next episode Its also funny that you guys after driving it are now considering stripping one out and making a serious version, they have great parts, easy to work on, huge after market support and amazing power to weight ratios I think you guys may catch the bug to mod one seriously one day.

Really enjoyed the raw footage, keeping it real.

I had my suspicions that it was done a little dodgy, hopefully one day you will properly mod a civic but it is in true MCM fashion. As for those wheels, you said they were cool back in the 90's.... Chromies were the cool thing to do not even a few years ago from memory, spinners being the ultimate level of chromeness that you could do to your pimped out car. Seriously bad though. Funnily, I know of people that still think massive chrome rims are the coolest thing ever. Loved the fake Brembo covers, I saw a car with them once - until you actually look closely they really do look like Brembo brakes.
