Polk Audio's first "trailer queen." This car is built for the show circuit with no intention of it ever being driven. It can be, but why mess up the paint?

This car has a turbo kit from Rev Hard, 20" Momo rims, big brakes and even a gas door with our name engraved on the front.

At the 2003 SEMA show, the Super Bowl of car shows, our baby won two, count 'em, two awards. It won "Best Modified Import Sports Compact" award from Meguiar's and a Mother's "Choice Award" for excellence in automotive design in the Sport Compact class.

Featured (and on the cover) of the April '04 issue of Car Audio & Electronics magazine, and on the cover of the May '04 issue of Max Power. Also featured in Super Street and Performance Auto & Sound.

 


Here's some more recent shots of the car. Not a lot has changed, but we did switch up the vinyl on the doors and windshield. And the hood's not stock...





We cut a hole in the hood to show off the pretty stuff without having to pop it at shows. The hood was from APC, valve cover from Nology, strut bar by Mr. Alex, and battery from Optima.



The Versus Motorsports/ Pure Styling " Super Street" widebody kit and the House of Kolor paint are the first things you notice. The gigantic intercooler and custom headlights are worth a glance, too. The car is so wide the tires barely fill the fenders.


The car sits pretty low thanks to APEXi coil overs. 255/35R20 BFG g- force rubber wraps the Momo Quasar 2's. A little bigger than other Civics, we had to use RSX parts to convert the car to 5- lug to use the 20" s.


Plenty of room for the giant intercooler (actually it required a bit of work to get this in the bumper)- this one's bigger than the one Rev Hard usually supplies with the turbo kit.



Enlarge the photo and you'll see the Polk/MOMO logo cut into the fuel cap door, thanks to Pro Fit Linear Fuel Doors.


The new Polk installer?


Momo steering wheel, shift knob, e- brake handle, and carbon/ kevlar seats are some the cool non- Polk pieces inside. Matworks made us some Polk/ Momo floormats because the stock ones weren't cool enough.



A look into the car, not much remains of the stock dash. We tried to retain a little bit of what came with the car- the middle vents and defrost vents are still there. The heat and A/C are fully functional and the switches are between the seats. The dash now houses a 9" widescreen where the stock head unit was, two 8" woofers, and a pair of MMC650 coax's for center channel, but no gauges. All gauges are Autometer and most reside in the driver's side A- pillar. A pair of MM6's in each door finish the front stage.


Four Autometer gauges display all of the information of the stock unit- tach., speedo., temp., and fuel from bottom to top. Plus a shift light.


Driver's view of the gauges. Everything is in front of the driver and hardly blocks the view of the road.



Alpine DVA- 7996 and PXA- H700.


Behind the seats are three more amps, the rear fill MMC650's, two of the six MM2154 15" woofers, and the second Optima yellow top battery with Monster Cable fuse blocks.


17" widescreen and 9" widescreen monitors look out from the rear side windows. The big ones display the DVD and the little ones show Playstation.



The passenger side a- pillar holds a bunch more carbon fiber Autometer gauges.


A view into the hatch, where some of the subs and amps can be seen. In total the car houses six 15" woofers and ten amplifiers, plus a bunch of coax's and components. Total system power is 4200 watts RMS.


We added a center channel for the rear stage, along with two Alpine 7" widescreens. The big Nitrous Express bottles were finally added in the space originally reserved for them...



Under the car, you can see the Comptech exhaust, Suspension Techniques anti- sway bars and SPC Performance lower control arms.
