I final got to track this Civic down. Even tho it was rainin 30 mins before, but I got the article done! This Civic belongs to Drew Young. The funny thing was Drew was washin the car in the rain when I pull'd up in the drive-way.

--------------------------------------

RR:  What year is it?

Drew:  ‘95

RR:  What’s the motor?

Drew:’99 GSR

RR:  What kind of turbo?

Drew:  It’s a T3/T4 Hybrid

RR:  What kind of ECU do you have?

Drew:  It’s an Apex Power FC

RR:  What kind of JDM stuff do you have?

Drew:  Corner Lights, Side Marker Lights, Lip, Valve Cover, Side Molding, Spoiler, Center Consul TAG That’s about it.

RR:  What kind of inner cooler is that?

Drew:  Vibrant Inner-Cooler, all the inner cooler piping and down piping I built out of 2½ inch mandrel with a TiAL 38mm wastegate and an old-school Grady blow off valve runnin 7½ pounds.

RR:  What’s the estimated horsepower to the wheels?

Drew:  Somewhere between 260 and 270.

RR:  What are the wheels off of? 

Drew:  Those are Rota Slip Stream 15 by 7½ with a 205/50/15, the front has JIC Adjustable pullovers, the back is a Tokiko strut out of a CRX with a front 2 spring On it and the exhaust is a custom 2½ out of the back with a resonator and a cat With a generic aluminum spun muffler.  Nothing fancy.

RR:  What’s the e-spec(??)

Drew:  The e-spec is a group around Lancaster and Rock Hill of street race cars. It’s Civic Body Honda’s only. 

RR:  What kind of gauges do you have?

Drew:  All the gauges are AutoMeter carbon fiber. The air bag cover and center vents are Carbon fiber. It used to house an Apex V-Tech controller, but now that I have power FC. I don’t need it, so I’ll probably put a turbo timer there.

RR:      What kind of radio, amps, speakers do you have?

Drew:  The head units are Alpine 98-15, it’s a couple of years old, Sony 4-channel on Imogen Highs, a directed 800 watt amp on one Alpine 12” speaker. Imogen Highs are a cross between Boson Acoustic and Alpines.          

RR:  What kind of seats are those?

Drew:  Red Tenzo-R Evolutions, the regular ones there’s a Mugen steering wheel, a Custom built short throw shifter, and a bronze Type-R shift knob.

RR:  What colors is the car?

Drew:  It is ‘04 SSR Yellow

RR:  Is that a TV in the.

Drew:  It’s a JDM center consul and armrest and a double den radio hole now houses a 7” wide screen and the ashtray houses a voltmeter and the remote eyes for the television and DVD player, but I kept the cigarette lighter.  Kind of like that, you never know when you might need it never know when the cell phone might die. The little stuff I added the ’95  2-door coupe tweeter pods to the doors because the hatchback didn’t come with tweeter’s in the doors. P-1 did all the tuning.

RR:  Who did all the labor work; turbo, motor swap, odd and end stuff?

Drew:  Everything so far has been done by either me and some help from J.B., and Mikey, but other than that it’s about 99% mine.

RR:  Who made the header, manifold?

Drew:  The manifold is a I think an OBX, I’m not sure.

RR:  Didn’t you make the down pipe?

Drew:  Yeah I made the down pipe all the way back to the cat, and I then made all the Inner cooling piping.  I did all the dash, gauge clusters.

RR:  You got any names you call her, him, it?

Drew:  Nope
