Hello to all,

I've been building a drag Civic Type-R EP3 for the past year and a half and still not driven it yet.

Hopefully I can be of some assistance on here and help others out.

Great site too!

How it first looked...



How it looked a year later...





Another year later...

 

looks great. one question, why did you respray? dont like black?

 

Welcome to the site Aaron! The Civic looks great. That's a serious build, you car guys across the pond don't mess around! How much power are you making?

 

Champion white is classic itr/ctr color!!

 

sweet!!! What part are you from? My dad's was raised in Old Thrafford for 22 years... still got some family up there too.

 

I'm from London, but I travel up near Old Trafford quite regularly.

 

Unless sprayed or imported from Japan, there are hardly any White Civic Type-R's in the UK.

 

I'm just starting to get all the pieces together, and finalise everything on the car for a start.

Then will sort out the built engine.

What I want to have happen, is have two maps that I can upload via K-Pro, and have one running 350 hp, and one running 500 hp.

I am running around 350 bhp on stock internals with Q16 Race fuel.

 

Sounds good, is this a drag-only car or do you compete in other events as well?

 

Drag racing only.

 

Nice, let us know when you get it tuned and what times you put down. What are your goals? If you can drive properly you should be in sub-11's or high 10's easily.

Good luck

 

My goal is to come straight off the trailer and run quicker than 12.5

By the time I'm leaving, I'd like to have accomplished a 11.5

No matter how good a driver someone might be, a 10's isn't possible with my power being at 350 bhp, lol.

However, 500 bhp will certainly crack 10.69 seconds, as my friend Scott Whitelaw proved.

The car looks nice...you'll have to shoot some videos and keep us updated on times and stats when you run it.
