An Early 88’ Retro Honda Civic EF2 (4th Generation) which has been built to club racer specification over the last 18 months and driven in the Castle Combe Hot Hatch Challenge Series. Powered by a forged B18C 1800cc Honda Integra DC2 Type R engine, coupled to a five-speed low-ratio manual gearbox and a limited-slip differential. One of only two known Civics of this era racing in the UK.
Specification
? It weighs just 860kg thanks to a stripped-out interior, which features Cobra bucket seat with TRS harness, a Sparco steering wheel, bespoke custom roll cage by Must Weld Motorsport, Plumbed fire extinguisher, oil temp & pressure gauges, Wilwood bias valve, lightweight demister, race battery and Prodrive carbon-fibre mounted racing switchgear controls. ACW Motorsport windows and skinned panels also help keep the weight down.
? The impressive Integra Type R import engine shares the same block as the 1600 that came in this era of vehicle allowing it to enter more race series. The engine benefits from being freshly rebuilt with high compression Wiseco forged pistons, Eagle forged rods, Uprated cams, skunk2 valves with double valves springs, ACL bearings, ported & polished head, ARP Bolts. The engine breaths with 70mm throttle body, Skunk2 inlet manifold and Tegiwa exhaust manifold whilst being managed by Hondata S300 mapped by MEK Motorsport. A baffled and winged sump keep the fluids in place whilst a tailored fuel system with Bosch pumps keep the engine fuelled.
? Transmission upgrades include an S80 gearbox with limited slip differential, lower 3rd & 5th gears, M Factory 4. 9 Final Drive, RPC lightweight flywheel, RPC stage 1 clutch and polybushed gear linkage.
? The car has a vastly upgraded handling package including custom BC Racing Suspension, Vti rear disc conversion, Hardrace camber arms, toe arms and trailing arm bushes. Ultra Racing anti roll bars, polybushed and seem welded subframe, larger front brakes and tailored Hel brake lines.
The car’s best lap time around Castle Combe is 1:15. 3 and is easily capable of more with the new engine, with recent results as follows:
