Re: 450hp Civic Wagon sleeper
Awesome project, good selection of parts. I don't like those 4 puck clutches for the street because first gear is just too jumpy/chattery for traffic and DD IMO. The rest of the gears are fine.
You will need something better than rubber motor mounts. I broke my rear mount (350 hp turbo pump gas B18C) and replaced with a Hasport urethane mount and OEM front mounts. The whole car shook at idle but the engine stayed firm and the mounts never broke again.
Good luck!

Yea, this wagon came with the b series which had some aftermarket mounts on it. Dont know what brand they are, but they were pretty stiff. I hope they dont break lol.
