Honda Civic Si transform a stock Civic Si into a race car



Transforming a stock 2012 Civic Si Coupe into a competitive race car for the World Challenge is easier than you think.

As Soichiro Honda once said – “Without racing there is no Honda.” And quite rightly so, with avid Honda fans eager to pull their cars apart in order to let loose the racing soul lying within, or quite happy to make do with what’s being offered – knowing what lies beneath the hood has been race inspired.
Many of us have probably been to the workshop to watch in eager anticipation as tools connect to the car that’s being…well, disassembled. Often times, we need to watch our cars undergo ‘open heart surgery’ as the engine gets extracted – worked on and then re-inserted only to start kicking again and sounding sweeter to get your heart racing faster than a shot of adrenalin.
Meet racing surgeons of Compass 360 Racing, who will be conducting a walk-through of what they will be doing to a standard 2012 Honda Civic Si to turn it into a contender for the Grand Am Continental Tire Sports Car Challenge.


Watch as they strip out the car of its comfort and engine and enforce a triage on the parts that will make the cut or will be replaced, with the insertion of a roll-cage and the final re-assembly of the Civic – including the 4-cylinder 2.4L VTEC engine that’s been tuned by Honda Performance Development (HPD) to produce 25% more ponies than the standard engine thanks to the use of an improved intake and exhaust flow as well as other mechanical wizardry that’s gone into the Civic.

MUGEN STROKES THE TYPE R (fn2r)



With Honda officially confirming that production in Japan of the K20 engine will cease, Honda enthusiasts will be wondering what the future has in store for them, particularly in terms of the venerable Type R. A glimmer of hope has come from Mugen Euro, who have unveiled a new take on the FN2 Civic Type R by stroking it to 2.2 litres. Last year 20 Mugen-tweaked CTRs were released in the UK, although no specific announcements have been made regarding this year's version which has 30% more power and torque over the standard model. 
Hiro Toyoda, vice-president of MUGEN Euro, commented: "Environmental pressures mean naturally aspirated engines are rapidly being superseded by other engine architectures and technologies. We may never see the like of the K20 in a mainstream production car again, so felt it only fitting we mark the occasion with this special 2.2 version of the Honda Civic Type R".
