He all, can't find a Newbie section...

I'm from the UK and i don't like copying others. Here's my Civic:



It's a D16ZC Turbo on carbs. Center exit exhaust, air jacks, alloy dash, home made body panels, arches, bumper, side skirts etc.

More picture if you like it.

I think that looks pretty mean, like an angry time attack car. In for more pictures. And some more info on the air jacks! Welcome to H-T

There's some more, haven't really taken many more since it's been done.
Last photo is with the turbo unfinished.

Haha, I haven't got a helmet to match, though it's a good idea

I'm using 4 D2 air jacks, i'll get a video at some point, getting it MOT'd and alligned tomorrow (MOT is British "Smog" test etc)

Not sure on the power, it's low boost for a while. I'd hazard around 200 on 10psi, but i don't know. Not too bothered either really, i just know it sounds good and drives nice

Few sound clips on youtube if you're bothered to search ha! I'll get an in car video soon too.

Mhmm i'd like that N2 AE86

It's British version of ZC, D16A9 - same deal and what not. 130hp standard, DOHC non-vTac.

The airjacks are super fun, i've got onboard air for a while so i've bolted a train horn underneath the civic too hahaha!

I also own a 70' Dodge Charger, a bit controversial to the Civic but i love it

Just need to add some technical information mate. Maybe some more info on how you did the body or those cool air jacks! Did you build the car for a particular class? Looks wicked! Cheers
