Car Feature: Honda Civic Ek4

Dean Reddy bought his EK4 Civic as a sensible daily while he concentrated on his Mk2 golf, which he is in the process of doing a ground up rebuild on. Looking at this car I'm glad he got a bit sidetracked and I bet he is to as it recently got him a magazine feature in one of the UK's big modified car magazines.

looking at the spec list of this car I don't think Dean has left anything untouched, it looks like a wish list of parts that anyone would be happy to have on there civic.

Spec list here:
Engine & Transmission:

DC Sports 4-2-1 stainless steel manifold

Dean tells me that over the three years he has owned the car it has had a different look every year but this look is the best yet. This is apparently the first ever 6th gen Civic to wear a set of OZ Turbos which is pretty cool to know your the only one and your doing something fresh.

When building this car Dean spared no expense and when for the best parts available, all of the exterior parts are genuine Ek9 Jap spec parts so no cheap copies or fakes to be found on this car and it shows to.

So now we all have to lay in wait and see what his Mk2 golf turns out like, I'm sure it will be a stunner just like this.
