Honda Civic 1.6 Turbo

Honda Civic 1.6 Turbo

Owner asks me, why keep on talking about lancer ex, and gave me the what the fark look... hahaha... Hey, some attention on the rest of the world please. Well, owner is a super car enthu, with the best of the best equipment on board, he now tries turbo!

Owner has a beautiful golden retriever, very friendly and cuddles up to anyone. Unlike kimiko's dog, hers erected when he sees sam bending over. That day, kimiko came with her dog, sat down on the dirty chairs in sam's workshop and talk about nothing. Her dog got busy sniffing around the workshop and the moment doggy sees sam, oh my god... hahaha... Doggy style brudder... sam didnt notice doggy got so excited, wagging his tail and his tiny pinky was sticking out, looking intently at sam, shuffling listlessly about till kimiko grab the doggy by the ass, "Oh! so excited neh..." kimiko said... hahaha... Sam cannot be bothered, a little pissed off he was, but slogging away trying to fix up the wiring on the honda.

The new civic 1.6 comes with iVtec, sporty interior and excellent handling. Trust me, modifying this ride is not easy. This ride belongs to the new age models like the honda Stream and lancer Ex. Drive by wire and stuff... Owner was with us during tuning and got first hand experience on how it was like tuning this ride.

Besides making good horse power, preserving the automatic gearbox and engine is equally important. What we did on this ride is putting in wastegate, turbo, HKS evc boost controller, HKS SSQV and many more... On Dyno, civic clocked 200bhp on engine on low boost... Till date, Vtec engines still retains its potential and with the turbo charger installed, this technology is exploited to its fullest potential. On high boost? good enough to make everyone smile. Maxing out this engine is easy...

I remember the first day I met the owner, he was a person who doesnt even know the effect of running on different octance level, someone who modifies his ride purely for fun and cannot be bothered by its details. Time really flies...

I remember Ray plugging in his laptop into his car for the first time and totally clueless what to do to his emanage ultimate. Looking at him smile at me today and telling me he managed to make his ride faster and stuff, the sense of pride and the feeling of achievement oozing out from his veins makes me feel good and a reflection of how I felt the first time I tried it. Yes, it felt good. Much better than sex. Somehow, when I watch ray again in my mental projector, that smile on his face, although its nothing close to watching porn, watching him smile and knowing that he did a darn good job himself is good enough for me.

We all started somewhere, its like anything else in life, it all started somewhere and you so decided to bring it further, your passion, your determination and today, you achieved. Looking back, you sometimes didnt even know how it all started, but as I look at each one that comes, I see it as a start of something beautiful. The celebration of Life itself. Life!
