CIVIC TYPE-Racing

Building a street racer is a complicated thing. But with the right direction, it can become quite a simple task. The owner of this car is only 19 years old and certainly has his head screwed on correctly as the package that he has put together flows very nicely. Brodie bought this 1994 Honda Civic a few years back purely because it is his favourite car. He is happy with the current level of modifications but does plan for intake trumpets and a lightened flywheel in the near future.

The main area of concern when building a street racer is the engine. The standard engine was ripped out and a B16A VTEC was put in as its replacement. An Exedy clutch was put in to get more power to the ground when dropping the clutch. Dahtone racing is responsible for this work and Brodie describes the whole process as totally painless.

2SUS Custom Resprays was given the job to refresh the colour with Mazda pearl white. This stunning and clean finish was then contrasted with red Sparco seats for the front two passengers. The rest of the cabin has been upgraded with red suede on the roof, pillars and door trims. Matching red velour is used to cover the rear seats. Brodie would like to thank Dr Stitch Customs for his painstaking effort to ensure that the finish was flawless.
