1993 Honda Civic Si review from North America
"A highly adaptable, high performance car with an innocent cover"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The water pump needed replacement at 70,000 miles, but that was after 30,000 miles of hard driving and street racing.
General comments?
With the modifications I have made to my car it has about 310 horsepower at the front wheels, and that's without nitrous activated. The modifications include, a Hyper-tech Performance Chip, a Venom Performance Module, Acura Type R heads, oversize rocker arms, an intercooler, G. Reddy Turbocharger, custom exhaust, high performance racing transmission, a custom nitrous oxide system, and a racing intake manifold, I have about $10,000 (US) into my car and couldn't love it more. My car was quick when I acquired it, but with my mods I'm keeping pace with Toyota Supra's and have beaten a Supra with a 2JZX-GT engine.
