About my Civic

***UPDATES UPDATES UPDATES***14 MARCH 2009***

Just dropped a new motor in. It is a Benson sleeved B18C1 with 84mm CP 11.5:1 pistons. This was courtesy of Laskey Racing. Also had Portflow add more porting to the head. All said and done, the motor puts down 207WHP and 150WTQ on a Dynojet.

***UPDATES UPDATES UPDATES***22 NOVEMBER 2008***

It is a FULLY rebuilt and restored (down to the unibody) 1995 Civic EJ1 coupe. I am the original owner, and for the first 10 years, it was a daily driven EX coupe with some mods and a Jackson Supercharger on the SOHC motor pushing 155 WHP.

From Feb 2005 to Sep 2006, I stripped and rebuilt the car with no sponsors. I showed the car in that form for about a year, then deployed to the middle east from Oct 2007 to Oct 2008. Since I got back I upgraded the car with the Volks, TYC headlights, EP3 Recaros, BYS lip, and other items. It will remain badged as a Civic Type S with a uniquely built B18C1 with LS internals pushing 180WHP (215-220 crank HP) and 131WTQ (160 lb/ft at the crank) tuned with uberdata. The tranny is also unique in that it is a DC2 Type R tranny with an LS 5th gear, LS 4.266 F/D, and Quaife LSD, enabling me to get super low highway RPM. My average hwy economy is 31-34mpg with a best of 35mpg, yet 1st through 4th are still very quick  The interior is very unique with full OEM interior of EP3 Recaro seats with OEM suede and red stitching everywhere else, custom embroidered floormats, Momo accessories, JDM EP3 Momo steering wheel/AP1 airbag combo with functional horn and cruise control, and USDM/JDM hybrid speedo cluster with amber lighting and red lit needles. The Neuspeed coilover suspension is connected to a DC2 5 lug hub and brake conversion with Spoon twin block calipers, Powerslot rotors and Hawk HPS pads. The exterior speaks for itself with many custom but subtle body mods. The I.C.E. consists of Alpine, JL audio, and 1st gen Polk Momo.

This car is a full road car with full amenities to include power steering, air conditioning, and cruise control. It is purely for driving and not for street or track racing. I have never tracked the car, but it can probably do 0-60 in the low 6 second range and 1/4 mile in the low 14 second range. This car is anti-rice and is my vision of a car that could have come off the showroom floor this way. I do have alot of JDM parts, but JDM items were not the main consideration. Aftermarket items were afterthoughts. This car is a tasteful blend of USDM/JDM/EDM/Custom touches. It is fully street and California state ref smog legal.

I have been to a bunch of shows (HIN, Extreme Autofest, DUB, NOPI) in the past few years and managed to get some awards along the way.

Thanks for the support.

The EP3 Recaro seats are based on the Recaro Sport Trendline design and upholstered especially for Honda of Japan. These seats are pretty hard to come by compared to the older DC2/DC5 Recaro "Speed" seats. These are also more comfortable in the bolsters than the DC2/DC5 seats.

I went to Wedge Engineering for thier sliders and brackets for the EG6/DC2 chassis. They work just as good as factory. The other sliders such as Memoryfab and Vision don't slide so well.

One thing I like about your car is that it is different than the typical K swapped "JDM street cars" with illegimate California registrations, bare metal interiors, illegal HID conversions, etc. Your car is FULLY built, has all accessories, and doesn't look like rice. I hope to see you one day on the cover of a major magazine.

P.S. Never seen EP3 Recaros in an older Civic. Those are fcuking sweet!!! What did you have to do to get them to fit???

My car pushes the 275 hp with the modification I did to the motor and plus what the NOS system throws in. By the way your car looks really hot.

Yeah, DaTrendsetter's car looks cool, but I was just questioning a few things. There's more to Hondas than just how fast it is.

I just ordered a Backyard Special carbon lip. When I install it, I will post new pics.

Looks like DaTrendsetter is going through his monthly PMS right now. He can't form complete sentences either.

Dude, don't worry about him. His car may be faster, but doesn't look any better than yours.

Post some new pics when the Volks arrive.

Thanks!!!

The TSW and Momo wheels in the pics will soon be a thing of the past. I have a set of Volk CE28N "Honda Sports Limited" CW time attacks on the way. They will have the Volk GT center caps and Project Kics R26 Neochro lugnuts. I should see them in October. Once I get them installed I will post new pics.

I saw your Civic at Hot Import Nights L.A. I thought it was one of the cleanest, best looking, and well built Hondas I have ever seen. Your pics don't do the car any justice. It looks 10 times better up close.

For the S2000 wheel, the horn and cruise do work. It was not plug and play and required the use of an S2000 SRS clock spring spliced into the dash harness. I have not hooked up the airbag yet for fear that the airbag could blow being hooked up to a possibly incorrect signal from the 92-95 SRS computer. If anyone out there has any insight about this, please let me know.

The painted logos and S2K steering wheel are one of a kind. I've never seen an S2K wheel in earlier Civics, only in later gen Civics. Do you have the horn, cruise, and airbag hooked up and working???

I love your philosophy of "less is more" and that you focused on OEM hybrid conversions and the overall functionality, practicality, and legality of the car versus aftermarket gimmicks and frills. The car is very clean and simple, yet classy. I would only suggest a little more power with some boost.
