Back in the day, it used to be that if you were a part of the import scene, you either owned a Honda Civic or most of your friends owned a Civic. And the first step you would take to some faster timeslips was gutting your interior of every amenity that your monthly payment paid for to get some weight reduction and shelling out another months worth of your pizza delivery paychecks on a certain baby blue bottle filled with laughing gas. After a bitter but necessary lesson on the effects of too much nitrous and not enough fuel in your system, you’d then deliver more pizzas till you swear you’d never eat another pizza in your life so that you’d have enough greenbacks for a bigger motor to do an engine swap… just to introduce yourself to the 14’s. Nowadays, civics are still as popular as ever and on top of nitrous, the name of the game is forced induction and enough traction to keep the power on the asphalt. After several mishaps with previous Subies, Andy finally got it right with his latest project!
