Icon3 Photoshoot of Vortech s/c 1993 Civic Si hatchback

Big thanks to my friend Faiz for, hooking up the sick pictures. Anyone needing a shoot should definitely contact him. One of the best on the East Coast in my opinion.

Car made 302whp on 14lbs. Car has a Payn upgraded V-5 kit on it, originally meant for a 2000 Civic Si. It is running a custom aftercooler made by my friends at Adrenaline Autoworks in Richmond, VA. Big thanks to them for the sponsorship on the build!! You guys are the best!

Enjoy!

Really nice car. I'm not feeling a lot of the choices made (wheels, headliner, lip, etc), but I can appreciate the work that went into it. And if you like it, that's all that matters.

Sick motor tho.... I'd love that SC on my SI.

I always give my honest opinion. I love the motor, interior looks very nice also. The color however and the overall exterior alltogether i'm not fond of.

Likewise.

Either way though, it's a nice car.

Why no sway bar though?

It's a daily driver, like everyday 7 days a week. My only car. It came with the control arms and asr subframe brace on. I don't give two ***** about having a sway bar on a street car that will never benefit from it. I just left the asr piece there cuz frankly it was free, and it covers up a ugly 18 year old subframe.

As for comments on color, wheels, etc. It's one of a kind in my eyes. Never seen one with even remotely similar color combos, and engine set up. It's different, and a look I went for and achieved. Looks like a stock, perfectly restored almost 20 year old civic with a front/rear lip. What's not to like about that?

And I've had plenty of built turbo cars, I went with this vortech kit to be different. It makes plenty of power for me to get to work, or get the groceries with a smile on my face, all whole getting 27+mpg.

Dude are you retarded? I cleared stated it is a strict street car. Meaning I'm not doing any super aggressive turning, cornering. So why invest in something I don't need?


So than people on HT can flame on why there's a full sway bar set up on a car that will never see a 100mph bend/curve?

The damn brace was there, it's free, and covers up a ugly *** subframe. That's enough logic for me to keep it there.
