"Superior Scorcher"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

The air conditioning bearing went - but this was through lack of use.

General comments?

This car is fast, and with a few modifications, they go like stink!

This Honda is the only car in the UK with dual runners on the Inlet manifold. Meaning that at 4500rpm you get a bit of Vtec and it opens up all the way at 5800rpm and will hit off the limiter at 8500rpm!!

It's a Wolf in Sheep's Clothing.

Sorry to say, but Toyota and porsche had dual inlet runners YEARS before honda even came close!

I must say honda did a decent job with it though, not bad for what looks like a bit of a rushed design...

I like the civics mainly for the handling though, a nice compact double wishbone setup. High maintenance, but worth it!
