To be totally clear, I’m one of the last blokes in the world who’d ever get excited about a Honda Civic build.
And that’s not a slight on the vehicles themselves - they never did anything to harm anyone - they just usually end up in the hands of people who used an imperial tape measure instead of a metric one to calculate their wheel offsets.
You know the type? Ringing the neck of their straight-piped, non-VTEC D-series engine, while terrified onlookers recoil at the noise and ponder quietly whether Nan’s 160,000km old oil-burner really loves seeing 8500rpm.
Ill-fitting wheels withstanding, this neat little EG Civic in the build at BYP Racing in Sydney has officially swayed my opinion on the mighty micro Honda, thanks in no small part to the fact that it’s an incredibly comprehensive build, boasting some fairly serious engineering.
As well as four-paw grip from the front and rear diffs, the Civic is ably motivated by a turbocharged K24 engine conversion - a platform that BYP are fairly familiar with, and have built some to outrageous power figures!
