Awesome! It's about time someone did a quarter mile Civic correctly.

Im not a Honda guy by any means, but that is one bad ass Honda. Superb job on making an accurate quarter mile coupe. The exterior finish and general look is astounding. Beautiful work overall.

Re: FINISHED!:civic drag car
Thanks everyone. I have to say though if it wasnt for all the great stuff I have learned form all of you this project would have never gotten underway.

The next dragster may be a RWD civic coupe powered by a turbo s2000 engine. Stay tuned...

Re: FINISHED!:civic drag car
What's the wheelie-bar for?? The car looks like a FWD 1/4mile beater, not some converted RWD civic. Can I get an explanation?

Besides that it looks awesome. The paint, the wideness damn it's hot. Great job!

The wheelie bars dont let the car squat in the rear to keep the front wheels planted. My build was made to replicate a Pro FWD. Heres a car I used for reference.
