Id be interested to see what they think constitutes a Formula 1 car....

Alot of us have spent more than we should on Civic's but i dont think we could say we're close to being a Formula 1, open wheeled, multi-million £ race car..

Omg, I hope they use a 1.6 eg9 as a base car lol

See my build thread
OEM EG9 TURBO SLEEPER
  • B16a2 - 275bhp @ 10 psi on a t3/4 Turbo
  • B16a2 - 330bhp @ 14 psi on a t3/4 Turbo
  • B19 - Aiming for 600bhp, fly like a butterfly, sting like a bee, this turbos a Muhammad Ali.
"Oh lord! Why dont you grant me a 10 Second EG9? My friends all drive 3 doors and I must make amends.
Chilled out all my lifetime, had lots of help from my friends. Oh lord! Grant me a 10 second ride!!!"
