Steve Winfield's 1997 EK Civic Hatchback is a naturally aspirated, autocross weapon. The car is fully gutted, raw, and leaves the ears ringing (and the mics redlining) when at wide open throttle. We met Steve while shooting video of an N2 Track Days motorcycle session at Pitt Race. We exchanged info and met back up during an autocross session a month later. Extremely light, quick, and responsive are this car's attributes. This Civic is built around a K20A Type-R swap with a set of 50mm TWM individual throttle bodies into K-Tuned Ram Horn style race header which flows into a full 3 inch exhaust. Check out some of Steve's anecdotes about owning this bad ass hatch. Follow us us on Instagram, TikTok, and Facebook for more motorsports content focusing on JDM cars, drifting, BMWs, super bike racing and track day footage (ASRA, WERA), and even some original rally racing content. We're always trying to make something cool to do with cars or bikes!
