    Originally it was a 1998 Honda civic cx. it had the conversion to the 99-00 look. So bumpers, side skirts, rear lip, and inside dash. The engine is a B18c5 with a Jackson Racing supercharger. With the current tuning done on it, its putting 250 down at the wheels Then theres lots of little things and other parts, but that would be a bit of a list ha

    The bars you see in the back is just to stiffen the car up. Its a Z bar goes from the top to the rear suspension.

    no its pretty good, theres allot of cars out there with more power then mine that are fwd. Mine has had the suspension replaced, rear sway bars, upper strut bars, front upper strut bars, and 5 lug swap. All those things help.

    i've seen a few high horse power fwd cars, and i've talked to a few of the people that own them. after 350whpish is where alot of them start to have traction issues in the lower gears.

    Nope, I got rid of that in September. Had it for 10 months, only really drove it for 4, maybe. The rest of the time was spent pulling out the blown motor, swapping in the six bolt, swapping turbos, and fixing the constant barrage of issues like as magical oil leaks that disappear and reappear.

    Since September, I've been the proud owner of a 2003 Acura RSX Type-S, or DC5.

    I don't want to thread-jack, but I've started with the suspension (TEIN SS-P coil over, camber kits), and I have an Injen Cold Air Intake on the way.

    Nice hatch. I used to have an EH2 with a B16A swap, etc. Fun little cars. Just out of curiousity, where was that picture taken? I'd love to cruise around there some time.

    Damn, that is a clean looking EK9

    My bro had the same kind, we were going to swap in a B18C5 but never really got around to it. Props for taking the project all the way.
