I thought those 'ricers' were all full of the proverbial! This one beats an STi with slicks  Are they generally a very good tuning platform? |

That ones got a K20 in it mate out of a civic type R. Not a straightforward swap but as you can see a VERY good combination.

That civic is nuts! What was he talking about when he was surprised by an "American car" though.. were the EG Civics not a Japanese design or did I misunderstand?

I think he was surprised that an American tuner could set up a Japanese car as well as Spoon...etc, since of the American motorsport culture has always been focused on speed rather than handling.

It could of been out of any number of cars it doesnt specify civic or dc5 so just chill out, it doesnt say which car but it's a K20A and that's all that matters... en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Honda_K_engine |

That was the best American take on a touge video I've seen. They've clearly been watching a lot of the Japanese domestic tapes as the production values are very similar.
An EG6 seems like a right weapon when properly tuned. Mind you, would it be as effective against something of a similar ilk, say a 205GTI on throttle bodies? Give the little Peugeot some coilovers and a set of R888s and I reckon a race like that would be a dead heat.

In all fairness in that vid the Impreza is clearly having issues and more capable of a range of conditions.
As a tuning platform Civics have massive support in Japan and the US with lots of bolt on parts available, but at the end of the day it's a small light car with a tractable 220bhp engine it it. Friend of mine has a Mk1 Astra of similar ilk.

Gotta love Keiichi Tsuchiya. One hell of a driver. Have a look for videos of the Seeker EG6. It's a beat from the east!

i think that vid should be on the how much power is too much power" thread as it goes to show its not how much of it you have but how you put it down

I have to say civics went up in my estimation 100 times since buying mine in April! Even my little 1.4 is a supurb little driver I'm even tempted to take up a bit of ameture sprinting in it.
