Peek into the mind of Derek at SpeedFactory as we join in on this Big Block Header build! Continue reading
A Honda in Formula Drift? Blasphemy says some, but this is something that has been anxiously anticipated by the masses, including us here at Vibrant Performance and Fabrication Life. Chris is not the 1st Honda to compete in FD, but there is a ton of fabrication and development that has been poured into this car. We cannot wait to see it on track this weekend at Formula Drift Round 2: ATL. Click here and watch Chris start to figure out the feel of the car…
You are not reading wrong. 801hp on stock cylinder sleeves in Octavio’s K-series Civic. The power number and in general, the graph are amazing all the way across the board. Look at that Air Fuel! This thing is nuts. And while possibly a ticking time bomb, as everything eventually can blow up, we are proud to see people push the bar with numbers to truly test the walls of these blocks and the action. Do we have the balls to do it, possibly not, but it is a fun thing to watch for anyone who is a fan of making power and pushing limits to the maximum! Continue reading
Let us start by saying we will call him FastGuy. So remember Sedrick=FastGuy. Aka Straight Outta Brooklyn.
Now that we have got that out of the way, let us introduce to you one of the most outspoken people we get to deal with. Blowing phones up at 2am, running around to get parts like a mad man looking to finish the car, and keeping the photos flowing, FastGuy Racing simply put is madness. To recap a little, Sed had a All Motor build that started up and went well. He hit the wall with that chassis.
Build #1 All Motor K breakout. Not that this car did a ton, but it was the start for Sed.
One week later we had build #2. After that crash into the wall on Sunday, the following week this car was together and ready to run! This build went faster, more parts, more money, and then…. BOOM! Dropped a valve, it was a wrap on that build.
Build #3. FastGuy Racing decides to step up from the All Motor class to Sport Front Wheel Drive.
Known as SFWD, this class is strictly for bad asses these days. This class is made to still have the appearance of a street car. Hell, in some states, it could be! Key points include:
It also is found explained by Aaron Bonk here on HondaTuningMagazine.com.
Here is the video build up of FastGuy’s new SFWD Civic
Here is another look into FastGuy’s build from a different prospective. These feature some language (NSFW), but you shouldn’t be watching while you are working anyways! Who does that?!!>?? 🙂
So for this build up to Honda Day, FastGuy has been on a complete tear to get this car finished up, on the Dyno, and ready for competition. Will the car race at Honda Day? We cannot say for sure yet but the mad dash to finish up in time is definately going on. This guy have probably burnt hundreds of dollars this week alone trying to run around for last minute parts. We do not want the bill for that!
Here is a mod list for this SFWD coupe:
We will keep you updated on FastGuy’s progress throughout the year and hopefully bring you video after video of mid 8-second passes over and over! Til next time….
