High Performance Dreams...

This is the one that started it all.  When I bought this car in Chicago back in 1992, I never imagined where this car would lead me. It all started with removing the intake silencer, hoping to make it louder.  Why I did this I don't know, but...that was the first "mod" of MANY! After a few years of basic stock, I pulled the motor and built it into a 12 second all motor beast.  And yes, that was fast back then!  That little 1.8 liter motor was massaged and prepped, all by myself, down to a 4 puck race clutch, light flywheel, big GUDE Performance pistons, bored piston sleeves, huge GUDE Gorilla cam (1 of 10 ever made), Mickey Thompson ET Drag slicks up front and tons of other JDM goodies.  It blasted down the 1/4 mile in Norwalk Ohio back in 1998 at 12.1 second at well over 100mph!  

After that it saw the 1.8 liter JDM ZC DOHC non VTEC motor swap, I turbo charged that with a custom made 1992 Civic Turbo kit, all in house.

Then came the B16 swap!  Which led to more JDM upgrades from taillights to steering wheel.  And after not seeing rain or snow for almost 10 years, and in pristine shape, I sold it...for some reason...and moved on to the next big thing...

This was probably the COOLEST build of all of them!  I Bought this for the kids, but within 6 mos. this thing had 20" split 5 spoke wheels (Speedy), a Honda body kit, Wings West Commando rear wing, custom painted racing stripes, a 100 shot of NITROUS Express nitrous (yeah, NITROUS!), custom 1 off cold air intake I designed, full custom 3" exhaust, 2" lowering springs from Japan and a custom high end sound system.  Running 14 second 1/4 mile times and dusting nitrous fed Preludes was a blast!

So this was the last of the hatchback Civic Si's.  Sadly.  I took this one and put some sweet Speedy Atix5 wheels on it, lowered it with HPD springs and slapped on a Jackson Racing supercharger and APEXi exhuast system, with a short shift kit and super affective but inexpensive ebay intake.  The car was fast, but only made about 200hp...stock was 160.

This was a fun one.  I was in service with the 03 and saw this sitting in the showroom.  I took it for a demo drive and had to have it!  This beast saw a comptech stage II Supercharger, short shift kit, Apexi exhaust and intake and HPD suspension.  I had to even mod the fuel delivery system IN the tank to get the power right...but at 320hp?!  IT was a beast!  And soo much fun to drive!

This one as my first foray into new tech in a long time.  Did the Ktuner kit, intercooler and downpipe.  Made approx 374hp and was fun!  But only lasted a few years before the BEAST arrived below...

This was my wifes car, but I had to do it and had it done like the TLX: KTuner, intercooler and downpipe.  A TYPE S RDX of sorts and tons of fun along with being stupid fast!

The second one in the family and even more mods: Ktuner, intercooler, spacers, downpipe and hopefully closer to 400+ hp!  Keep you posted on this one!

The car of my dreams!  Sadly there is only so much you can do to it, for now, so have kept it mild: Some carbon wrapped parts, wheel spacers, new custom made alloys, Burger Tuning JB4, straight mid pipe, intake and PRL intercooler...all good for around 410 hp or so?  Fine for now, but as soon as my guy over at Innovative breaks the ECU?  IT's gloves off!
