Project 81 Civic Part 5 – Meet the crew

By Brian Gillespie

In this episode we pause to introduce some of the crew that’s been eatimg tacos on Tuesday and then helping wrench on our Civic afterwards. Meet Robert Diaz of Hush Performance, 2nd gen Civic owner Roy Lopez, Honda dude Brandon Sandoval and Nacho Speed Garage intern and VTEC Academy “No” man Carter Gillespie.

Speaking of tacos, if you’re ever in the Phoenix area on a Tuesday, you’re welcome to join us for tacos at Dos Gringos in Tempe. We’re usually there from 5:30 till 7:30 talking Hondas and tacos.

With the engine question settled, I think, it’s time to prep the engine bay. We fill the holes, talk about engine bay treatment and generally make plans for the next steps of modification.

Nothing but Hondas. That’s exactly what you’ll find at VTEC Academy. Not because some of the other automakers’ cars that inherently drain the life out of the driving experience bore us, but because Soichiro Honda’s passion for motorsports and his company’s ability to express that in the machines they produce make a whole lot of sense.

VTEC Academy is a place for Honda fans who feel the same way and who seek the most accurate technical information and commentary to continue that very legacy and make whatever Honda it is that they drive just a little bit better. And faster.

The editors and contributors of VTEC Academy are some of the industry’s most experienced and trusted, which means the informative, unique perspectives you need are all right here. And, like you, we’re also obsessed with Hondas.

So, subscribe to our channel and hit us up at vtecacademy.com or, if you’re into social media, you can get your daily dose of VTEC Academy on Instagram, Facebook and Twitter. We’re always on the look out for cool and fast Hondas.
