Honda Civic EG Track Car (someday )
Discussion
Hey everyone!
I’m having another go at chasing the dream — building a proper track car. Last time I got pretty close: built a Civic EF for local classic racing champ, even managed a few races before life decided otherwise. Had to sell it and put the whole thing on hold for a while.
Fast forward three years, and here we go again. I’ve got myself a Honda Civic EG3 with a mighty 1.5 single-point injection engine (legendary d15b2). Had it for almost half a year now and, to be honest, haven’t really touched it yet. But now I’ve got a decent-sized garage — technically an ex-cowshed
Plan is to strip it right down to a bare shell and weld in a cage. Budget’s tight, so it’ll be a slow burner, bit by bit, but I’ve learned a few things from my last build. I’ll drop some photos here as things start happening — both of the Civic and the garage slowly turning into a proper workshop.
I’m also filming the whole thing for my small YouTube channel, so if you fancy giving it a look and a subscribe — cheers, that’d mean a lot!

To build something good, you first have to tear something almost completely apart ? 
Yeah, I really believe that a proper track car build should start with stripping everything down and checking almost every single part.
My experience with the Civic EF only confirmed that this is the right approach.
Luckily, there were no surprises. The shell is in excellent condition honestly, I've never seen a Civic this clean
Next step: making the chassis stiffer?
And of course, I made a few upgrades in the garage. My wife is happy now that the sim and all the Hot Wheels aren t taking up space at home anymore
And, as usual, here s a short video.
