Phat Rice Conversion |
In celebration of Jud's 26th birthday we decided to upgrade his car a bit. Jud had a stock Honda Civic for us to use as a starting point. I think these cars come with around 130 Horsepower or something close to that. We're going to at least quadruple that number with some of our phat upgradez. We're going to make this an "M Series" Civic. Additionally, we'll demonstrate how this can be done very economically. The cost for all upgrades on this M Series Civic was $24.62, including labor. All parts were purchased locally at hardware stores or liberated from the supply cabinet in my office - further proof that this kind of upgrade can be for everyone, not just rich people.

The "Before" Picture |

Here's a shot at the bland, stock Civic. This isn't something we're proud of, it's just here for posterity. |

M Series Exhaust System |
|
Here we can see what looks like a standard approach to adding lots of horsepower - the coffee can muffler upgrade. However, upon closer inspection you can see the M Series logo emblazened upon the can. This makes the upgrade european and much more powerful. The M Series coffee can is rated for an additional 300 Hp, especially since we have a proper M Series logo above the Civic insignia. We're way on top of this one, dude. We have to give credit for some of our inspiration to the folkz that know ricers at the Uncle Ben's Rice Rocket page. To learn more about these truly demented induhviduals click this link: |

Phat Roll Barz |
|
Safety First! You don't want to go around adding all this power to a car and forget the safety of the driver. We used some hardware store grade pipe insulation foam to build these bad barz. In addition to increasing safety these add at least another 75 Hp to the car - that's what I'd call a "win-win" scenario! |

Def Logoz - eurowank motorsportz |
|
OK, now we're starting to distinguish ourselves from the competition. Check out this def logo on dah windshield. Awww Yeeh! Dat's what I'm talkin about! This was made with standard overhead transparencies found in most of your finer offices' supply cabinets. We took some white hobby pens and let the creativity flow! I guarantee you Jud is the only M Series Honda with the custom european logo! That's right, this "eurowank motorsportz" logo is truly one-of-a-kind. |
