1998 Honda Civic - Back From The Dead - Project Civic

We dust off the cobwebs, perform some maintenance and hit the track.

After a long weekend of brutal torture, the Civic held up quite well. In an effort to save my street tires, I borrowed a set of wheels from Project DC2 equipped with R-compound tires. The next phase of modifications will surely include a new set of my own 15-inch dedicated track wheels and tires, as well as a few other small changes. Oil starvation is a known problem with my motor setup, so we’ll address that.

Look for more installments as we address these changes and hit the track again in an upcoming issue Project Civic lives!

At my level, it’s not really about lap times. Learning how to improve your technique and push the limits of both yourself and your car (safely) is much more important.
