    You might be thinking this car looks familiar — well, you might recall a drag-spec Honda Civic dubbed ‘PROJECT D’ back in issue 207. This car was originally built by the ‘Mad Professor’, aka Adam Plews, owner of Speed Science. Around 2013–2014 it was running passes in the 12-second range, which was relatively quick for a road-legal stock-block B18CR. Running straight and hard was its sole purpose. Later on, the engine was swapped out for the mighty K20A and turbocharged!

    The car was then sold to Hayden Barnett and became known as KFED. It was packing some serious heat at that point, staying in the drag racing scene, having more performance improvements over time, and making faster passes each run. It had a healthy 314kW of K20A turbo power under its hood.
