Shane Choboter: 1994 Honda Civic CX

Shane Choboter says the 1994 Honda Civic CX Hatchback has always been his favorite car. Pushing a whooping 500 whp, this particular Civic has far surpassed its initial stock capabilities.  In addition, he plans to add even more to the engine setup in the future. These modifications are not only within the engine bay, as Choboter’s personal flare can be found in almost all aspects of the build; from the custom exhaust to the refined suspension, as well as the decked-out exterior, interior and audio setup. He also has the Civic sitting on custom powder-coated 17-inch Enkei wheels wrapped in Nankang tires.
