TREND PROOF To round out the outside of the car Pyng tossed on some of the best parts available for a Civic – Mugen, BYS and Vision. Parts like the corners and mirrors have gotten to the point where they don’t even seem like mods anymore, it’s just “the way” to build an EG. The front lip and rear wing have become increasingly popular in the last few years and many have entered a love or hate relationship with the erect spoiler. The Mugen muffler dubbed either the "teardrop" (USA) or "wing" (Japan) exhaust is at the top of many EG owner’s holy grail lists. When you take these parts and slam them into proper stance on a set of white Mugen RNRs you have automotive perfection. Thai continues this quality-overquantity-no-bullshit approach in the engine bay. While it might not have every gizmo and gadget available, what it does have is top notch. While the valve cover might not look pretty, what’s hiding beneath is sure to cause envy. The motor, a B18C Type R, has been improved with the help of names like Alaniz, Jun and Skunk2, all brands synonymous with power gains. Bolt-ons from Mugen, BDL, Koyo, Top Fuel and even Iceman (throwback!) finish off the power plant. Once tuned this setup is good for 215 HP, more than enough to get you into trouble with the law. If you’ve been paying attention so far the interior mods like Mugen S1 buckets, a full JDM SiR-S interior conversion and Next Miracle X bar should come as no surprise. The car also features one of the seemingly trademarked Street Image Performance mods, a stack tachometer seamlessly integrated into the JDM SiR 78 SUPER STREET FEBRUARY 2010 gauge cluster. It’s baller, it’s unique and it’s functional without being flashy, just like the rest of the car. Did I mention I really like it? Actually it’s very difficult for me, even as an EG stickler, to find something about the car I don’t like. This car actually makes me miss my last EG, it’s that good. It has all the right parts in all the right places, no more, no less. Dare I say it’s the perfect street car. None of the mods are tacky and this car will be just as dope ten years from now, which sadly can’t be said for many of today’s feature cars. I really hope to see more cars built like this in the future. It’s everything an EG should be – it’s JDM, it’s on 15" Mugens, it’s B-Series… it’s timeless. www.storemags.com & www.fantamag.com
