SOLD






I recently aquired this car and need to stick with my plans of selling it to get a new truck. Everyday i drive it (i dont drive it everyday), I want to keep it that much more. I haven't had it long but it needed a new battery and a clutch cable. Both have been replaced since i've owned it. It rides great, pulls incredibly hard for what it is and is an absolute blast to drive. You can google search this car. Just type in Epic tuning AWD EF.

This car was built by Epic Tuning back in '07 and the motor rebuilt sometime around late '08 or early '09. It still have everything in it that it had when built except for the strut bar and the turbo manifold was changed out somewhere along the way. I posted the build thread from honda-tech and i cut and pasted an old for sale thread of it as i feel this is the best representation of the car in its current state still.

I know the person who built this car, and it been around awhile so its reliable for sure. Its crazy how its all the way donw in VA...GLWS

 

I its getting older so just like senior citizens, i think its trying to end up in florida. lol.

So it looks like the bottem end is built up a bit now. May be a dumb question but, any idea if this thing is still capable of decent gas mileage? I'm keeping my eye out for a new daily driver...

 

bump

 

never seen an awd civic especially an ef si
def. looks good

 

i would love to own this car.....bet it's tons of fun

just a question about the wagovan AWD setup (not the car itself): how well does it perform on a track? and is it comparable to stock AWD cars? what's the power distribution? 50F/50R?

 

i averaged 30mpg with this vehicle


and the power is mostly front untill it spins and then transferred to the rear, can launch in first gear without a traction problem

 

Bump for another Q... How much extra weight does the vanowagon AWD setup add to the car?

 

this thing is turning into quite the *****

glws

 

Found my answer, car weighs 23xx
