Before you start getting into any project especially on your Honda Civic DO THE RESEARCH! I’ve been working on Honda’s and other mechanical things for over 13 years and from my own experience, doing the research before the project has always yielded great results.

This is my first drag race video at Mission Raceway with my 1993 Honda Civic. The video of the 16.40 quarter mile time was too shaky so this one will do. The time was 16.54 @ 85MPH for quarter mile.

I did my first Mission Raceway event today and it was a success. I did 4 runs down the drag strip and my best time was 16.401 @ 85.68MPH and reaction time of .726. I was told that the reaction time is only used if your racing against someone else and does not matter to [...]

This Friday night I’m going to take my 1993 Honda Civic to the drag strip to see what kind of quarter mile time I can get out of my VTEC engine. I have never raced on a drag strip before so this will be a great learning experience. I want to go because I want [...]

Yesterday I came home and my Honda Civic Model was waiting for me at the door. I ordered this on eBay a few weeks back and I’m really happy it’s here already. It’s the 1992-1995 Red Honda Civic Hatch SIR II edition. It may be the Japanese version as the driver sits on the right side of the [...]
