"Check out the March Issue of Hot Rod. There is a story about cars that get 20mpg and can do 12 sec 1/4 mile. Larry Widmer's car with the 1.55L SOHC D16A6 is one of them and he drives it every day.
The numbers:
2300 lbs w/ driver
487HP @ 7300rpm
11.04 sec @ 134 mph
Gets 25 mpg in the city and passes emissions."

Its got lower et's in it... but then again, its Larry's most driven car...

I think that one of the big reasons he made it into the Hot Rod mag is because that is where his "Roots" are in. He used to build and race hot rods from what I understand. Stuff like the soft head concept was developed on a hot rod. Hot Rod knows Larry's stuff is 4REAL and it is great to see them daring to open many eyes to the fabulous world of IMPORT. One unfortunate thing though, all those hot rod guys will be looking for Civics or honda's in gengeral because they will see the numbers Larry is turning and have no idea what that really means in import terms nor what it takes to get them. I sure hope one comes looking for me

I saw that issue at Barnes & Noble. the civic H/B runs a 11.04 1/4 mile with a 134 trap speed. The engine bay looks stock to the untrained eye. the writers said he been driving the car for 2 years with 3 oil changes and 2 spark plug changes. It even pass smog for running such high boost. What's kick ass is he uses the m62 blower we use on our gsr and itr. keep it up larry. we all know you are the fastest single cam blower out there and maybe even the fastest. Much love to you and your work. You should be on the cover of all the import mags.
