1996 Honda Civic CX review from North America
"A yellow rice rocket with power to back it up"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Well a stock civic H/B sucks so I put a B18B out of a 1998 Integra in and I will just say: Watch out 5.0 Rustangs.
General comments?
This car with stock trim ran a 18 sec 1/4 miles after the motor swap it hit 14.23 and then I installed a T3/T4 hybrid turbo running 12psi and hit 12.28 so stock honda suck, but add a little of its Acura powerplant power and you have a great street car.
