The blower is so big that the belt-drive pulley is literally millimeters away from the headlight. The core support has already been cut to make room for it as well. The engine bay has been cleaned-up and at the center of it is the 3. II rear wing…. Under the hood was a turbocharged K-swap set-up with a custom oil breather sitting right up front…. It was pretty simple back then, just had SiR bumpers and a set of BBR Comp wheels but now it has some new bits added to it that gives it more of an aggressive appearance.
The cooling hoses are routed in a very interesting way, with the top inlet right in the center by the exhaust manifold. I understand the want to make it look cleaner but it ends up looking a bit incomplete overall…. Also has a Mugen Gen. Odd to see a set of Bomex side mirrors in but it is always nice to get a closer look at them and how incredibly unfunctional they are as side mirrors, LOL.
The name of the front lip eludes me right now, perhaps Azect or something quirky like that…. Awesome that both of these guys got into Super Street and since they are always together, for them to be featured together as well….
The rear flares look like they came that way but they were actually hand-crafted by Long at BCD. The front has been widened quite a bit as well to house the Volk ZE40s…. Here you get a better look at how the custom flare shapes into the ASM rear bumper. The S also has a Mugen hard top and L. The dashboard is gone with just the steering column held by the cage, along with a Sparco seat, and K-Tuned shifter….
Through the back windows you can see the custom cage and how it is welded to the body…. K-series swap in the engine bay with TWM Induction individual throttle bodies, All-In Fabrication oil breather, and full-sized radiator.
Note how the shocker towers have been extended for better suspension travel up front…. As the wind picked-up, some thought it a better idea to pack up and head-out just in-case things got too crazy…. S2Jay representing my home town, San Diego, very well with his S…. Hard-top S with Voltex rear wing and Powerhouse Amuse front bumper…. The full-story on the history of this great event series coming real soon to The Epilogues, stay tuned! To me, it will always be the first and original all-Honda event series that was birthed in the North American mecca of the car scene, the West Coast.
My photo coverage started to get more scarce because I was so busy doing other things but for this year, I made sure to get right back into shooting the cars of the Eibach Honda Meet. The time frame was pretty close in terms of scheduling all these events I had to attend.
I had to go to Japan to be a part of the Wekfest Japan show in Nagoya, and had to cut my trip short just so I could make it back in time for Eibach.
Wekfest happened on a Wednesday over in Japan because of a week-long holiday they celebrate and by Saturday, I was already flying back to California so I could make it to the Eibach Meet on Sunday.
It was a crazy hectic week. I think I came back on Saturday, editing a bunch of video and photos, slept about an hour, and then loaded-up the Odyssey to head over to Fontana for Eibach at AM. Luckily, the weather was great this year. Previous meets have been so hot that it almost made it unbearable to walk around.
I snapped a bunch of photos early on in the morning and that is where most of the coverage takes place. I gave them a platform to talk all about the event series and how it got started, where it is today, and what they expect for the future. I think it will be a good read and will coincide nicely with the photo coverage.
Stay tuned for that. Another guy who has had his Civic forever is Son from Hasback. His black Civic hatchback never changes too much, but he does always switch parts here and there to give it a bit of a different feel…. There is a nationwide shortage of this particular paint color so his Battlecraft hood is left in its original fleshy tone…. The signature Mugen DC5 front face, this one with a front-mounted intercooler lurking behind the opening….
Cody Chan brought his Civic out to display for the Koyorad booth. Awesome to see his Buddy Club front bumper intact, looking great with the canards…. Widened S from Violet Clique airing-out and laying on the floor…. More detailed photos below…. Great to see someone taking advantage of the widened wheel wells and really putting the car to use.
Gutted and tidy interior with just carbon sheets covering the openings left by the removal of all amenities inside. In the engine bay is a turbocharged B18C engine with a billet valve cover, big turbine, and custom titanium intercooler piping….
