Near completion, the only change Geoff plans to make to the Civic is to switch to slicks and swap in a G-Force gearset to replace the exploding stock transmission; a bittersweet problem that only results from making too much power. Geoff's advice for would-be Hondas striving to make gear-breaking energy? "Copy my setup," he says, "and you will save time and money." Which we think means-when translated from engineering terms-"Buy a Full Race kit and you will be very, very happy." As for Geoff's old yearbook, we take back what we said-no new category is necessary. Simply scratch out the schmuck listed as the "most likely to succeed" and insert Geoff's mug. How many people do you know who hold a degree in mechanical engineering, run a successful business, and drive an 800hp car? Shrugging yet? That's what we thought.
Alphabet Soup: B VS KBattle of the ConsonantsWith everyone is jumping on the "K"-wagon, Geoff gives nine reasons for going with the "B" as in bukkak-, err...boy...motor.
