10sec Hatch
For the past year, I've been hitting up the track and paying attention at our new feature this month. Why you ask? Well , You may say, "is another damn honda" but let me tell you something, this is not your everyday Civic..... Or is it?
In a way it is not your everyday Civic because I'm sure you don't see many 700+ hp cars on the streets, better yet a Civic. On the day of the photo shoot at Atlanta Dragway as we are waiting for this monster to arive we were thinking this is going to be a slow process due to the fact, that this is Civic is most likely beeing trailored.
Guess what, as we look down the road, We see a gold Honda, wait a sec... sure enough MR.PETER HEU and His 1992 B18c1 powered Honda Civic CX. I was amazed.
Not only does Peter drag this Civic almost Friday night or at any drag event around town and out, but he drives this car everyday. 31 psi will hurt alot of feelings on the streets, but has also help Peter hurt feelings at the track running a 10.3 @ 145 mph.
So if you V8 boys see this little 4 banger on the streets , Just watch out. This car has serious power under the hood. We would like to thanks Peter for letting us take a closer look at this perfectly executed Gem. If you guys want a closer look at this ride take a trip down to:

That guy deserves credit, 700hp is alot for the street especially for a FWD car. But you can't drive around with c16 in the tank all the time. I wonder what he's pushing on a daily basis?? The most i've ever seen as a true daily driver civic on pump gas was an orange hatch up in palmdale that did something like 580hp on the dyno at the rim of the world rally this year. Snd it sounded like it was going to blow to pieces, I honestly took a few steps back when he got on it.

I'm impressed.. a dyno queen. How nice.. its a shame its slower than the fastest cam only camaro's.. That's right.. a cam, boltons, and some chassis work makes you faster than that dyno queen
Tell him to start hooking and do some damage.
BTW: You sound familiar.. z1 motorsports or something on your car?
Peace,

None the less, I think that Civic is badass, I'll stick with well the three Camaro's I have owned, and will own but I give that car some props, it would be intersting to see it in a street race.

seriously i expect more from a board of so called "true car enthusist".
Peters car is far from a dyno queen. And actually he went 9.90 more recently, but is currently undergoing all the safety bs he needs to legally place in events.
if youd see the car run you'd have a whole new appreciation for it, let alone just talking to peter or any other of the isp guys--they are all stand up modest guys who do their own stuff, do it well, and do it with humility.
i think he traps low 150's now, if not really close.

I was kind of surprised to see some of the responses in this thread too. How many of you have ran a 10.anything OR trapped 130+ mph? I don't give a **** what it is, that's fast.

Hey guys, here is the truth on this story. Peter is a buddy of mine, this civic does run consistant low 10's, and has ran high 9's. This car used to be street/strip car, when it was on the street he only ran like 13psi. In April of 05 Peter bought a 05 Tacoma for a shop truck, for his shop "Import Source" in Winder GA, he also now uses the truck to trailer the civic. In May of 05 Peter blew the motor at an event, he has since put a new motor in, and it is a beast. Peter is no joke, this man can build a hell of a motor. I assure you this is no dyno queen.

i mean i hate honduhs too--prolly more than most domestic guys bc i used to be all about hondas, until mine was stolen and then ricers inherited the planet, now its just embarassing to be associated with the scene, this just feeds my frustration though, here is a guy--builds a hell of a car, its actually a very nice helpful guy--sticking it out even though the scene blows *** and he still gets ripped on (albeit not that bad i knwo im just overly sensitive to when general import hate spills to the wrong people)
he is doing more than his part to make the scene better--and in the process builds a bad *** hatchback. wait til he runs more than a 24.5 tire--i know he tried a 26" but had a few issues, more track time is only gonna prove this car a beast if anything, the 10.3 and 9.90 were more shakedown runs. No bc if how fast its going its forcing the car to be more all strip than street strip--which only means its gonna get faster as priorities become more one dimentional and focused.
+1 for badass car, and cool guy
