Jose Garcia

Jose Garcia says his picked the 2000 Honda Civic EX for his build because of its distinct body style. “I had a hatchback before this one and I liked it, but at the same time, I feel [the] coupe fits more [of] my personality.” Pushing 601 whp, Garcia has equipped the Civic EX with a number of performance components, including a K24A2 motor swap w/ Type S head, Precision 6266 T3 turbo with a Hondata K-Pro tune, Competition Clutch twin disk and BC Racing extreme low coilovers. He’s also hoping to push the horsepower even further in the future with a newly built engine.
