In this latest offering from Donut, we witness an epic battle between two Civics: a modified 1995 model and a brand new Civic Type R. The team spared no expense, pouring over $50,000 into transforming the older Civic into a beastly machine. But the question remains: was it all worth it? Or should they have simply gone for the shiny new Type R?

The showdown begins on the city streets, where the team has fixed the engine issues that plagued the older Civic. With a laundry list of upgrades, including brakes, throttle body intake, interior modifications, AC, and power steering, this modified Civic is a force to be reckoned with. The team takes pride in rescuing this car from the brink of oblivion, preserving a piece of tuner history.

But let's not forget about the new kid on the block, the Civic Type R. With its premium interior, wireless carplay, and comfortable seats, it offers a level of refinement that the modified Civic can't quite match. However, the Type R still manages to deliver a raw and exhilarating driving experience, with its adaptive suspension and top-of-the-line Michelin Pilot Sport cup twos.

The battle intensifies as the cars hit the Malibu Canyons. The modified Civic's suspension upgrades shine, providing a thrilling ride through the twists and turns. Meanwhile, the Type R impresses with its confident handling and precise control. It's a clash of old versus new, with both cars showcasing their strengths and weaknesses.

Finally, it's time to settle the score on the track. However, the modified Civic encounters some traction and engine issues, dampening their hopes for a fair comparison. Undeterred, they return for a second attempt, and while the Type R proves to be technically faster, the modified Civic offers a more enjoyable and fun-filled experience.

In the end, the team reflects on their journey, realizing that the joy and camaraderie of building a $500 car with friends far outweighs the allure of a brand new vehicle. They celebrate their triumphs, thank their viewers, and invite them to join in the excitement by leaving comments and supporting their work.
