1993 Honda Civic - Return Engagement
Bolts & Washers
Jorge Hernandez' 1993 Civic
Propulsion
Jorge's gold JDM emblazoned Civic relies on a B18C1 swap for motivation. The engine is internally stock from the reciprocating mass to the cylinder head. Performance has been addressed with a number of bolt-ons in the mix, namely an ARC air box, DC Sports header, Skunk2 Racing intake manifold and RS*R exhaust system. The B-Series has been pimped to thrill with an OEM red valve cover fitted with a carbon fiber Visions plug cover.
Rims & Rubber
Gleaming like chrome, Jorge's 16-inch 5Zigen N1-Rs wheels are actually polished propositions. The wheels weigh in at about 14 pounds a piece, reducing un-sprung weight, which is always a good thing. The 5Zigen's are wrapped with 205/40-16 BFGoodrich G-Force Sports.
Stance
Thanks to K-Sport coilovers, the Civic is effectively crouched, ready to pounce on unsuspecting V8s. Jorge also added Skunk2 lower control arms and an ASR rear sub-frame brace to further stiffen the chassis.
Resistance
Stopping power has been improved with slotted and drilled Brembo rotors, PBR pads and Russell's stainless-steel brake lines. The system features stock Civic calipers up front and upgraded Integra calipers in the rear.
Fashion
Outside: The Civic's body mods are JDM inspired. The car runs JDM headlights, taillights and side markers, a VIS carbon fiber duck bill spoilers, OEM lip spoiler, Vision carbon fiber mirrors and JDM fog lights. MOB Works is responsible for prepping the body and laying the gold paint on the EG.
Inside: The dominant interior features include a carbon Kevlar Vision Imus racing and a Mugen FG-360 steering wheel. The rear seats are scavenged from an ITR.
Ice
Audio-wise the plan was kept simple with a Pioneer DEH-P650 head unit firing Infinity Reference Series co-axials
