TODA Exhaust System 2006+ Honda Civic Si 4 Door (FD2)
TODA Racing USA has concluded our test of the exhaust manifold and exhaust system orignally designed for the new Honda Civic Type-R (FD2) chassis. American spec Civic SI features a shorter catalyst compare to the Japanese Civic Type-R, which is un-heard of since any Honda enthusiasts that owned a B-series from 1990~2000 would know it was the opposite. Some of the significant difference in chassis/exhaust hanger designs are listed below. Since the factory catalyst in longer on the Japanese spec FD2 Type-R, which means the B-pipe after the catalyst is significantly shorter. Consumers would have to purchase both the exhaust manifold and exhaust system together if they intend on using TODA exhaust on their American spec Civic SI.
MARTINI 5 AT EVO GARAGE
Not something you see everyday. This is a Lancia Delta Integrale Evo I Martini 5 Special Edition.
QUIN’S EK
I had an opportunity earlier this week to take Quin’s EK out for a late night photo shoot. More importantly I was able to drive the thing around the quiet streets of Richmond… OODLES OF FUN!!! are the only thoughts that crossed my mind.
COAST DRIFT ALL IMPORT CAR SHOW
A trip to the island we did. Even though the purpose of the trip was to attend the Coast Drift All Import Car Show, we probably invested less than four hours there. The morning started off with a late breakfast, and then rolled in at about ten-ish. We chilled for about thirty-minutes, then left. Where to? Back to Bear Mountain Resort where we were staying, from there it was straight into the pool. Eventually made our way back to the show, checked out a bit of amateur drifting, did some people watching. Many were rather confused by Tyler’s EG6 with the JDM K20A swap, or as they see it… a D-Series engine installed backwards. What came to our surprise was David’s Mugen DC5, taking home "Best Custom Modification". Heavily modified, yes. Custom Modification? No. Don’t know if it was this event, but Victoria illustrated a much different scene.
NEW COMPANY BLANK CARDS
These are our new no name attached blank cards. It features the Mugen DC5, K-powered EG6 and the stupid quick EK9.
PACIFIC RACEWAYS
The Evo Garage Mugen DC5 race car has longed for this day, first time out after the upgrade to its suspension, mounts and tires. The old Öhlins came out in place for Mugen N1 coilovers. Alex race mounts were replaced with Hasport billet mounts using the super hard urethane inserts. After maxing out the capabilities of the Yokohama Advan A048, both of the DC5s are now using Hoosier R6 tires. Even though with a wonderful performance, target times were not met this month. Much anticipation will be expected from the Mugen DC5 after some fine-tuning next month.
MUGEN N1 APPLIED
Coming in late this year, the DC5 is only now going though its upgrades. Couple of the major changes this year will be the install of Mugen N1 coilovers & corner balancing of the car. Today the old Öhlins PCV using Swift 140 (14K front) and 160 (16K rear) springs came out. To its replacement, a set of Mugen N1 rocking Swift 160 fronts, 280 rear springs and Cusco camber plates.
