Good afternoon!
So, my name is Adriano. I've lived in USA for a while and since I left Brazil I already loved these Hondas. As soon as I got back home, I started to save money and buy my dream's car.
Unfortunately, cars and parts here are soooooooooooooooo expensive, you have no idea!
So, thats how I bought my car, for aprox. U$3.500,00
I had to rebuild the engine and Thanks to one american friend that came over to visit brazil, I could make it with good parts. He brought in his case:
- Vitara Pistons 75.5mm
- RCAutoworks Custom Rods
- Stage II CLutchmasters
- Gasket Kit
- ARP Head Bolts
- Gates Gatcing Thermostat
- Some other lil parts.
So, It was a long work and I spent like U$5.000,00 to rebuild the engine, just like a stock. FML I know... Living here when u want to have a Turbo civic SUCKS.
My plans is to finish 2014 with the turbo kit installed (I will import 90% of the parts from USA, so if I find a friend here, it would help me a lot bc we can try to negotiate sending parts and me paying the shipping and a "comission" for helping)
Initial objective: 200whp
Turbo pressure: 0,9 bar

Also, can you post a few photos of the fire extinguisher under the front seat? I'd like to see how it is mounted. Thanks, and very nice work!
