Re: v6 teaser pic
Just a quick update.
Axles i had received were incorrect. New ones being machined tomorrow. Everything is on the car, test and tune next week. I am hoping with the axles being the same length on both sides, this will keep the torque steer to a minimum, I can't wait to find out.

That is an awesome project!! I've talked about doing that for a couple of years, but didn't think the 3.2 would fit in my es2. Good work, man.

I would take that civic over the TL any day, it's so much lighter, it'll be fast and people will be like "oh another **** ricer" and then you'll show them what's up... awesome car

Hey guys, so tomorrow is finally the day. October and November rained every friday and couldn't run the car. Track rental is on and no rain. VAFC is connected and is awesome. Will post vids and pics of timeslips this weekend. With the v6 being under the hood, I have embarrassed a lot of unsuspecting people thinking this is just a 4cyl civic. Has been a lot of fun.

There is a civic that only shows up at the local car shows near me and it has this same setup. all motor running 10's AND he has a right side drive conversion.
definately a sick swap.

Here is a quick update on the v6 civic. Track day didn't last long, the factory TL mount we utilized with or custom mounts did not like the extra traction at the track. We have a new custom mount in place and the car is getting ready for East Coast Honda Meet on May 29th in Richmond, Va. Sorry for the delay, but my business comes first. With the new mount in place, I have made some discreet runs on the street with a gtech pro in the car running mid 11's. Traction isn't a problem with the extra weight of the motor and the 225 drag radials. Will post pics from the show with videos to follow. Thanks for the patience guys.
