Raul Jr Flores purchased his 2000 Honda Civic SI after laying his eyes on its body and shape. Being his first car, Flores has already made a few tweaks to its performance, including a K20A3 engine swap. Flores plans to add a carbon fiber roof in the near future and is hoping to secure his fifth award by winning the Tuner Battlegrounds Competition.
