Jorge Sandoval always wanted a Honda Civic growing up. As a teenager, and before he could own a car, he attended the Hot Import Nights car shows and saw them fully-modified. Sandoval told himself that one day he would build one. To date, his 1994 Honda Civic CX hatchback is modified with a 2001 2.0L Honda K20A motor, Volk Racing CE28 wheels wrapped in Bridgestone RE-11 tires, Function & Form Type 2 coilovers with Swift springs and a carbon kevlar front lip amongst other modifications.
