Evidence
On the bottle, this JE-built Civic puts down 852 horsepower and 627 lb-ft of torque-hot damn!
Stance
Prepped to optimize traction, JE set up the EJ chassis with Progress race series custom shocks and spring rates and a custom Pro Fab traction bar. The shop also installed a custom rollcage for rigidity and driver protection.
Resistance
The full complement of rotors and calipers has been switched out for GS-R issue, front and rear. Calipers have been loaded with Hawk pads, and Motul RBF 600 fluid is pushed out to each corner via Goodridge lines.
Rims & Rubber
Tucked into the forward wheelwells are Mickey Thompson slicks, sized 24.5/9/13, wrapped around 13x8 Weld wheels. For daily driving, the hatch rides on Rota Slipstream rims adorned in Hankook rubber.
Fashion
Outside
Outward cosmetic tweaks are mostly functional-Seibon front lip, a modified bumper that can accommodate the intercooler, and rolled fenders for the massive slicks. Speedesign Custom Graphics handles the Civic's sparse decals.
Inside
Essentially everything from behind the front seats back was removed-mostly paneling and carpeting-for the sake of weight reduction; the car now weighs 2140 pounds. JE then hooked up an AEM Uego wideband meter and Autometer oil pressure, water temp, and boost pressure gauges to keep tabs on engine performance. Unexpected JDM flair, namely the Bride seats and Takata harnesses, gives the cabin some street cred.
