Welcome to my Cardomain page.

This is my 1997 Honda Civic DX coupe. Though it's not really a dx anymore.

I bought the car bone stock in winter 2002. Wasn't planning on doing anything to it at first. Then got the idea for an R swap. Was originally just going for some more power, but it's slowly becoming a track car. I guess I've watched too many Best Motoring videos.

I'm making 215hp and 146lb-ft tq overall (assuming 15% loss). Dyno #s and video at bottom of page.

A big thanks to Fastlane, who did most of the work on the car. They did a great job. You can find out more about them here fastlaneperformance.com.

 

My car got in Honda Tuning Magazine's Grassroots section. August '07 issue.
