I would have preferred to see him shove it in a CRX Si, but that’s just me. Every ricer had a Civic hatch in the early 2000s, it was the equivalent of an IROC-Z for guidos or a Fox body for rednecks (I had several Fox bodies )
Dareo, where do you get crate engines? The article said he got a wrecked JDM car, which is "almost" the same as the new Type R engine. Honda isn't doing anything here...
What I find funny is the description of the 306HP mill as a "Monster", LOL! That's like stock Pentastar power.
True, but 306hp in a 2100 pound car is pretty substantial. The 3.6 Grand Cherokee weighs more than twice that.
For sure, I just found the whole thing to be a bit funny. That's similar to a stripper fox with a warmed over 302 in it. Pretty much standard drag racing fare but it is being described there like this is revolutionary
I remember, fondly, from my days at the track there was an even older vintage Civic with a newer engine swapped into it and a huge honkin' turbo on it. Thing was running low 13's IIRC and they had the valve cover off and a breaker bar on the head bolts between runs trying to get the head gasket to stop leaking hahahahah.
