Default Some inspiration? JDM Turbo Civics..

I just bought the Jan 2002 issue of the HyperRev Civic magazine.. lots of nice nice cars in there, but most importantly, quite a few turbocharged civics in there too.

Just wanted to share some of the "turbo" pages with you for those who aren't able to look at the magazine. The car at the bottom is pussing 620PS.. and its a freakin' circuit car - crazy!

(image is about 320k, so those on 56k modems.. be prepared to wait)

WOA! TD07-25G on that 620 PS car... Goddamn that's pretty badass!

Spooling must suck, but I'll bet it SCREAMS on the straights!

Dammit, Nathan, Why've you got to push me to push my car to most likely break stuff again

why does the red car have 17inch wheels up front, and 15's in the back? That's opposite of what I am used to seeing....

Because they need traction when coming out of corners and to accomodate the bigger brakes..

Most Japanese tuners use higher spring rates in the front than the rear (the opposite of what most people in America do), so to induce oversteer they run smaller diameter wheels with a smaller contact patch.

yep. Plus they need the big 17's up front to be able to get traction. But 235 width on the front.. ****, wonder how they are able to do that.. don't think they can turn the wheel that much huh?
