Bolts & Washers
Tarik Paris' 1993 Civic DX
Propulsion
A B18C swap provides the thrills in Paris' well-balanced package. The block has been fitted with Crower rods and JE pistons with an 8.5:1 compression ratio. A Full Race spec'd T04-E turbo pumps 11psi on the street and 18psi during special situations. Since the photo shoot, a bigger intercooler was installed, as well as a NOS intercooler spray kit. Also, a new manifold from OBX with a 3-inch downpipe and 3-inch intercooler piping were installed. Paris reports a bigger throttle body, turbo race cams, a better intake manifold, and half a roll cage are also in the works.
Stance
Paris is constantly re-working the height and dampening force of his Koni shocks to maximize the car's handling prowess. He has upgraded the sway bars with an Eibach kit and reports big improvements.
Resistance
Braking power has been increased with a Wilwood big brake kit in the front and an AEM upgrade kit out back.
Rims & Rubber
The EG rolls on 17-inch Volk Racing wheels, but Paris likes to change up the style from time to time.
Fashion
Outside: The EG runs a mild-mannered set of body mods to add to the surprise of foolish challengers. A carbon fiber lip spoiler and a glistening front-mount intercooler hint at the car's potential. Paris runs JDM light fixtures front and rear and 2 rear spoiler assemblies.
Inside: Function reigns supreme inside the hatchback, as Integra front seats are joined by Civic Si rear seats. Paris plans to upgrade to a Recaro bucket up front.
I.C.E.
Thanks to his Alpine head unit, Paris has become a big fan of mobile navigation and movies. His EG has a six-disc rack in back, but the big audio dynamite comes from the spooling Full Race turbo.
