Thom's wife Jessica bought the Civic back in '96 and used to compete in IASCA (sound quality) competitions with it for years. Jessica got 5th place at both the 2001 & 2002 IASCA finals in the Pro Ultimate 1- 300 class. She'd been competing in IASCA since '98, when she won both the Novice 1- 150 SQ and SQ+ formats at IASCA finals.

The Civic has been Thom's daily driver for a few years now, and is now powered by a K20A3.

 


Wings West Type R front lip and tuner type I side skirts, Street Scene upper and lower grills, and Enkei CDR9 rims with BF Goodrich tires. The stock headlights were taken apart and painted to match the car as were the door handles and moldings and windsheild washer squirters.


18" Momo's with painted inserts, wrapped in BFG g- force rubber, of course. Not visible are the Suspension Techniques Speed Tech lowering springs and front & rear anti- sway bar set, or the Koni adjustable shocks. A DC Sports header leads to a DC exhaust with the tip cut off.

Momo carbon shot shift knob with boot, Zapco RSD's are mounted on a piece of carbon fiber in front of the cup holders.



SR tweeters and a 2" mid from some Polk home speakers are in the a- pillars. With some time alignment from the Zapco DSP- 6 it sounds great from one seat.


The center console cap was wrapped in carbon fiber.


Momo Street Racer seats.
