Newbie Civic from the UK

[Kris!]

Hi guys,

Thought I would pop over and say hello and show a few pics of my Civic Race car

Its running a Forged B18 on Jenvey ITB's with 260.4bhp and 162ft/lbs of torque

everything minus the wheels looks ok..

 

[ruff_ridaz99]

...but different wheels would set it off much better!!

[ej8arm]

[Kensai]

Got any pics of the engine bay? I like the wheels actually...

word, wheels are actually pretty sick. i think they would look better in a different color tho.

looks good man!

Cheers guys, the wheels were very cheap from a sponsor and the only criteria was that they were round, light and cleared my Wilwood brakes. Being a Race car means the cosmetic things come last as getting from A to B before anyone else is the main thing

Will get some engine bay shots up if I can find any decent ones

no s**t? i said he shoulda left the moldings unpainted, not that he needed to paint his lip, get a parking pole, and stick "I <3 My Honda" stickers everywhere...

not directed at you. its for the people that think a race car's #1 priority is looking good.

 

[EK|B]

That's tight, I don't like how you painted rare headlights. Well they might not be rare from where you are though.

 

[Kris!]

Nope they are bog standard headlights on every model EK over here so can be bought for £25 or less. Only painted them as they were starting to go misty and as has been said already, the cosmetic things are always last on the list of things to spend money on unfortunately.

Out of curiousity, what headlights are standard on your EK civics? We break Hondas (mainly Type-R) and sell alot of parts abroad, so would be interested to know what parts you guys class as rare that are possibly standard to us in the UK and vice versa


Appreciate all the honest replies aswell, and can appreciate its not to everyones taste, but as a race car its very capable and does the job it was built for.

For anyone interested here a video of the last race I attended

I totaly agree, but when your on a budget, winning races is more important than having a nice and shiny race car.

I also find those who have the cleanest race cars are always scared of scratching them so are never 100% commited when racing.

Just my opinion of course
