This is Owen Bridger´s Honda Civic FN2 Type-R, powered by a k24 with 4Piston head, Garrett 4088R Turbo, delivering over 520Hp/550Nm and surprising everyone on Simola Hillclimb 2022, one of the most cometitive and “Monster-filled“ event of the year. Among many 800 Hp AWD and RWD Aero-clad machinery it almost brooke into the Final Top 10, placing 11th by only a single tenth. Running a Quaife 5-Speed sequential gearbox, Hondata Kpro ECU and Hondat traction control, it is a true example of how far a FWD machine can be taken. Although that may be sepaking too soon as the plan for 2023 is to take a whole lot of weight, add Aero and shoot for an even faster chrono, maybe even breaking into that infamous Top 10 ´ll be here to document it...
