Well. This yellow FD's driver Andre Tan says it's not the fastest period because "may mga mas matulin e. Marami. Cause these FD’s are limited to 200 wheel horsepower lang." But take it in the context of the other Civics that race with it and it's definitely up there at the top.

Piloted by Tan in the Philippine GT Championship's GT200 Class–the top tier of touring car racing in the country–it's been dominating the podium so far. Here's the parts list so you can compare it to your very own ride:



Along with its near identical red twin, team mechanic Dax Santiago says that "You can actually call these 2 of the most awarded FD’s on the local circuit. Both have national championships from the beginning."

More history: the late great Enzo Paster helped tune this yellow liveried FD and it's actually the first ever of its generation to race in the Philippine circuit. A scene that is dominated by the ubiquitous EG and EK-bodied Civics.

After making its racing debut 10 years ago, a lot has changed but "it's still racking up podiums, much like Herbie with different drivers!" says Santiago.
