In this thrilling episode by Hoonigan, we witness the resurrection of a 2000 Honda Civic SI, a relic from the golden age of tuner culture. Tim Maher, the proud owner since the car's inception, embarks on a mission to revive this forgotten gem that has languished in a garage since 2010. With meticulous attention to detail, Tim swaps out the engine for a potent B18C JDM Type R motor, a move born out of necessity in the absence of turbo kits back in 2000. The team then upgrades the valve cover to a vibrant yellow Spoon variant, adding a touch of flair to the Civic's engine bay.
But the real magic unfolds when the crew mounts brand new BFG Goodrich tires on sleek Rotoform wheels, preparing the Civic for its grand return to the open road. As the engine roars back to life, the team embarks on a spirited cruise, reveling in the iconic VTEC soundtrack that echoes through the canyons. Joined by the skilled folks from Impact Performance, the Civic showcases its newfound prowess, gripping the tarmac with confidence and poise, a testament to the tireless efforts of its dedicated owners.
With the Civic's revival complete, the team savors a well-deserved meal, reflecting on the journey that brought this automotive icon back to life. Carlin and Mark Arsenal from Impact Performance commend the BFG Goodrich tires for their exceptional performance, providing stability and grip in various driving conditions. As the day draws to a close, the Civic stands as a testament to passion, dedication, and the enduring spirit of the tuner culture that continues to captivate enthusiasts worldwide.
