19 May PJP 1992 Civic Hatchback Part 3

One step forward and one possible huge step back.

By Aaron Gaghagen

Project 1992 Civic Hatchback went from having no-name springs on Tokico HP Blues to Progress Auto CS2 coil-overs and that had me hyped. It was like I won the handling lottery. Springs and dampers that were actually designed for my goal of having a street car that I could track with the current engine and transmission setup are awesome. But, that feeling as great as it was, was short-lived. Driving Project 1992 Civic Hatchback home revealed another unexpected issue that would have to be addressed before I could even think about hitting the track or course. The good thing is that it’s a Honda, so there are only so many things that could be causing this new issue.

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.
