Default My new Project...1995 Civic coupe -T4-

Here is what I started with, yuck!


I am hoping to have the car complete by next summer (2007)

The only race I attened last year was the finals @ Norwalk in my rhd EG hatch. Had a really hard time shifting the car so this time around Im using this left hand drive car. Should have done that in the first place. I really didnt plan on racing that car competitivly, it just kind of happened that way.
Last years best was a 11.3 @ 135mph, still a stock gsr head and a few other restrictions and driving errors.

This set up we would like to see traps in the 140's @ around 600-650hp.

I have been wanting to race competitivly in the T4/SFWD classes for sometime now but it takes alot of help, preperation, and work. Ohh yeah and money! Wich I am lacking.

I will post pics of the progress as it comes.
Stay Tuned!
For now here is a few of the beginning stages to make it a car again






...ahhhh it almost looks normal :lol:

Your pics remind me of when i bought my car and first saw it on the rollback. It was a theft recovery and the car was black, red doors, 4 donuts on it, all kinds of stuff inside including a blue rear bumper off of some other kind of car lol. My first though was...WT F am I doing. But it's cool cuz now when i get upset cuz it still isnt done i look back at what it looked like when i first got it and it makes me feel better see how far it has come.

Any engine plans yet? Set up you think you will be running? good luck

check the rules...i think you'll need a 10pt cage if you're trapping over 135.

If your reffering to the one on the readers rides page , no. That is a customers car and is still driving around in one piece . This was my first Honda from about 7 years ago. I would post up pictures but I wouldnt want to get laughed at . Well you know what the trends where like 7 years ago!
