Daily driven 92 Honda Civic
This car has been my passion since 2001! I have replaced/repaired/upgraded just about everything on the car. There is not a single bolt that has not been touched by my hands. Everything on this car was chosen and built to achieve the ability to have a street legal/dependable daily driven track beast. Trying to keep it as stock looking as possible. Although the roll cage and 13" rotors kinda ruin it. For 2009 I now have a front splitter and rear wing too. So the 'sleeper' look is definatly long gone......
I did my first race event in 2006 at the GT Live Track Attack on VIR full. I had planned to eventually race in HU, but since HU is no more, the best I can hope for now is playing around in HPDE's, Track Attack's and Time Trails.
Former P1Auto in Charlotte did the turbo install and tune.

Very cool Mustang owner. I don't remember his name, but it was a well built car with over 500whp. We had been playing around the entire session.

I had him in the S's, but lost him on the straight...

1st turbo build pic.
I had the intercooler black anodized for a nice stealth look.
Since then I had to upgrade to a full width radiator which required repositioning the waste gate. Full-Race/P1 worked out a nice deal to switch the manifold out with their non-AC kit.
Stop-Tech upgrade
I beat the Spoon RSX by 0.6 seconds during the GT Live Track Attack event at VIR in '06.

I have some slight heat issues with the paint turning brown on my hood. I figured the sticker would fix it.
