No build is complete without the proper goodies and trick parts for the cockpit. The driver is held firmly in place courtesy of a pair of Mugen S1 bucket seats and ber-rare Mugen edition Takata harnesses. If you ever happen to run into Salazar at a local San Diego area mall, you'll probably see him holding a Mugen SW36 steering wheel thanks to a TAS quick release that enables him to carry it to the most absurd places. Completing the Mugen ensemble is a Mugen pedal assembly and shift knob that is corrected for track use with the help of a Circuit Hero shift extender. Custom coated Benen carbon Kevlar ECU and fuel pump covers highlight the rest of the interior in addition to a myriad of JDM EG6 interior pieces.
The saying goes that "When it's all said and done, inevitably, more is said than done." Will Salazar and his Civic would prove otherwise. Salazar is a man of few words who definitely lets his actions speak for him. In this case, his ride speaks volumes. If you've never had a chance to see the car in person, you're missing out. The pure sound of the motor itself is beautiful. We often get asked what makes a vehicle worthy of a feature. The answer remains the same for anyone who asks: Balance. Perfect balance, and Salazar has found it.

Propulsion
The Milano Red EG currently houses a B16A2 out of a '00 Civic Si and features a Comptech USA street head port with full radius valve job, Skunk2 Stage 2 billet camshafts, Skunk2 sprockets, OEM ITR valves and Port Flow valve springs and titanium retainers. The block is upgraded with 81mm PCT CTR pistons and rings with the stock rods shaved to fit PCT pistons along with ARP head bolts. The stock intake manifold has been ditched and Toda Racing individual throttle bodies now sit in its place. Exhaust gases are expelled through a Toda Racing 4-2-1 header, Circuit Hero test pipe and Buddy Club Spec-2 exhaust. The 11.2:1 compression motor is connected to the chassis via Avid motor mounts and completely assembled by Circuit Hero. Aesthetically, a Mugen valve cover, first generation oil cap, oil filter and reservoir covers accent the engine. Electrical power comes courtesy of a NRG cell race battery and Buddy Club grounding kit. All wires have been tucked away thanks to Circuit Hero. To help properly cool the motor, a Fluidyne fullsize radiator from an Integra has been swapped in and connected to the motor with Samco radiator hoses. The transmission was completely rebuilt by Circuit Hero with new OEM synchros, Kaaz 1.5 way LSD, and ACT Xtreme clutch kit. Fuel delivery comes from a Walbro high-flow fuel pump, plumbed with custom Circuit Hero steel braided lines, filtered by an Earl's inline filter, and regulated by an SX external FPR. RC 370cc injectors bring the fuel to the motor and are electronically controlled by a Hondata S300 EMS.
Evidence
The EG Civic on ITBs put down 201 hp and 142 lb-ft of torque on the dynapack hub dyno at Church Automotive Testing in Wilmington, Calif.
Stance
Salazar's EG rides on Tein RS coilovers with pillowball mounts and custom machined perches designed to house custom Eibach 600-pound front and 900-pound rear springs. The chassis is strengthened by a Kirks Racing six-point rollcage with custom rear x-brace fabricated by Revenge Motorsports in San Diego. Mugen front and rear strut bars were added as well as EM Racing pillar and trunk bars. Rear lower subframe reinforcement comes from Comptech along with a 22mm rear sway bar.
Rims & Rubber
The wheels are 15x6.5 super solid forged WedSport TC05's that have been refinished. The 9-pound wheels are connected to the ground with 205/50-15 Falken Azenis 215 tires.
