[hr]The AEM engineers spent hours tuning the suspension on this car and the results have paid off. It was the best-handling of the tuner cars we sampled. That says a lot, especially because AEM, like everyone else, is still using the factory shocks in the back.[hr]

HKS Turbo on a sedan?? Nice!
HKS brought out one of the more radical Civics—at least from an underhood perspective. The company has mated one of its GT ball-bearing turbos to a custom intake manifold. Running stock injectors, boost is limited to 7 psi on the little turbo, which equals an extra 60 hp. The boost is linear and feels as though HKS swapped in a larger engine rather than turbocharging the stock engine. There is very little turbo lag. Customer interest and California Air Resources Board (CARB) certification will determine if this kit ever goes into production.
WTF!!!!!!
and...
Here you can see the turbo bolted to the custom intake manifold. An HKS Turbo Timer keeps the engine running a minute or so after the ignition is turned off to continue to lubricate and cool down the bearings. We were told an intercooler could fit in this car, which would further boost power by increasing the compressed air's density.
