Top Notch Performance: A Closer Look at Rob's Sleeper Front-Wheel Drive Car

As I sat down to review this incredible sleeper front-wheel drive car, I couldn't help but feel a sense of excitement and trepidation. The vehicle, which had been quietly gathering dust for years due to wiring issues, was finally ready to hit the road again. And boy, was it ever. With a full exhaust system, including an off-brand Magniflow all the way back, this car was ready to put on a show.

When I first started driving, I have to admit that I was taken aback by the sheer amount of power on tap. The 600 horsepower and 2150cc injectors meant that there was always plenty of fuel to go around, ensuring that the engine never leaned out or blew up. But it wasn't just the numbers that impressed me – it was the way the car performed. In fourth gear, it was like the car had been waiting for this moment its entire life. The speed was relentless, and I found myself holding my breath as we accelerated through the gears.

One of the things that really stood out to me about this car was its incredible balance of power and handling. With a full exhaust system, many people might opt for a more aggressive setup, such as a hood exit or Fender exit. But not in this case. The exhaust system was kept nice and clean, with no obnoxious drone or excessive attention-grabbing features. Instead, the car looked and felt like any other normal Honda on the road – until you put it into gear, that is.

As I cruised around town, I couldn't help but feel a sense of confidence in this car. The interior was spotless, with no signs of wear or tear despite being three years old. The gauges were clean and simple, with a boost gauge on the left-hand side that seemed to blend seamlessly into the dash. And when I did occasionally have to shift gears, it was smooth and seamless – almost as if the car had been designed for this kind of performance all along.

Of course, no review would be complete without mentioning the driving experience itself. As a front-wheel drive car, there's always a bit of an unevenness in terms of power delivery that can take some getting used to. But with 600 horsepower on tap, it was more than enough to make up for any slight hesitations. The key was finding the right spot to let off the gas and shift gears just at the right moment – and when you did, it was like a switch had been flipped.

As I made my way around the block, I found myself getting lost in the rhythm of the car's performance. It was like an extension of my own body, moving through the gears with ease and precision. And when I did get caught out by a sudden turn or bump in the road, it was only because of one simple reason – the power on tap was so great that it tended to dart off course rather than follow it.

But don't worry, I wasn't completely out of control. As long as I kept my wits about me and focused on the road ahead, we were able to stay in a straight line and make our way home safely. And when you do get behind the wheel of this car, just remember that there's always going to be a little bit of fear factor involved – not because it's scary, but because it's so fast.

Speaking of which, one thing I did notice during my drive was how much attention the shifter drew. Compared to some of the other cars I've had the pleasure of driving, this thing was a bit on the smoother side – no complaints there! However, I do have to admit that it wasn't perfect by any means. The shifting still felt a tad rough at times, and the occasional shift light made an appearance.

But overall, it's clear that this car has been well-tuned and cared for over the years. As someone who's spent hours in the shop tinkering with engines, I can appreciate just how much work goes into getting something like this on the road again. And when you finally get to drive it, the end result is well worth all the hard work.

And so, after three long years of sitting idly by, Rob's sleeper front-wheel drive car was finally ready to take on the world – or at least, our local roads. As I pulled away from the curb for the last time, I couldn't help but feel a sense of sadness. This car had been such a privilege to drive, and I knew that I would miss it dearly.

But as I looked over my shoulder and watched the car disappear into the distance, I couldn't help but feel a sense of awe at just how impressive it was. With 600 horsepower on tap and a full exhaust system, this little Honda had proven itself to be a real force to be reckoned with. And who knows? Maybe one day we'll see it back out on the road again – or maybe not.

For now, though, I'm just grateful to have had the chance to experience its incredible performance for myself. If you're in the market for a car that's equal parts fun and reliable, look no further than Rob's sleeper front-wheel drive car. It may be a sleeper, but this one's definitely worth waking up to.

"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enit's for moment so today ladies and gentlemen we're in a 94 EG hatch yes we're back in a Honda it's been a while it hasn't been since Zach's hatch since we've done something like this however this is a little bit different this is probably the ultimate sleeper hatch I've ever SE seene if you might remember 2 years ago back in the early days of the channel I filmed this car for my buddy Andrew back when he owned this car after that we went for a ride in this and it had a welded dip so he was like you're not driving it and I was like that's that's totally fine you're not going to drive it but now it has a limited slip differential in it so high horsepower front wheeel drive you have to have it it's just something that's necessary or you'll end up one wheel peeling everywhere I mean even the turbo RSX I did had an open dip and I didn't know and that's why I was hopping everywhere so what is the setup of this car I know most of you are going to go what do you mean setup it has stock wheels that a stock OEM color but what is suspicious about it well it doesn't have a front mount intercooler so it must be all motor right no basically it has an air to water intercooler setup that is a manual switch and what that does is make it super stealth it's actually in in the back so when you look in the back you still have to look for it when you open the hatch it's not easy to see until so you really really look and you're like oh so that's why you can hold all this horsepower so the Block it's a v18 block and has a V16 head so like many Hondas you can Frankenstein kind of everything that's why so many people use Honda as a platform to learn because it's so simple it's like oh wait can I use it you could probably use whatever you want so when you top the hood if you don't know where you're looking at you have to really look for the Big Turbo as well okay that was awesome when you felt the complete boost kick in started snagging me to the right a little bit so I had to kick out of it but it's pretty ridiculous it's awesome so it's a 6061 turn turbo by Turbo ntic and it's very deep in there a lot of people do kind of the setup to where it's blatantly there but this it looks like a daily driver Civic and that's what's so great about it the car is running on E85 so you got to keep a gallon with you sometimes or a couple gallons your gas mile is isn't that great for a 4-cylinder but who cares you're just building this car to go fast anyways the tire on this they're Mickey Thompsons which blew me away because when you look at the stock wheels you're like there's no way you could fit that kind of Tire on it and then you see it and you're like okay I see you what else is so funny is so many people don't take this car seriously the owner who is now Rob who used to drive it all the time anyways he'll go up to somebody be like hey do you want to check out my Honda it's really fast and then the people are like what are you serious they think it's a joke and then they see the setup or they see the car actually go and they're like okay I was wrong so the horsepower is right around 600 horsepower in a 2200 lb car so before you're like oh David it's not a zillion horsepower you have to think about the power to wait this thing pulls on a ton of stuff that you would not expect because one it looks so normal and two it's so light with that much horsepower the car is Boost by gear so that helps a ton as well so each gear is a different PSI level so say you're rolling from a second gear it's going to be a lower PSI than it would be in fourth so at Full Tilt when you're in fourth gear that's 26 lb of boost and that's when you're full power and it just reels all the way out it does have a GSR Trans in it as well so the gears are shorter but that means you accelerate faster and believe it or not if you on a Runway or anything like that you could top this car out in fourth gear it reels that hard it goes all the way and you're just like Jesus it does spin occasionally if the weather is wrong or the tires aren't brand new but what Rob does during that is just turn the Boost down in each gear and he figures it out he figures out what is best for the car at that very moment occasionally things in the tuning world are Tri trial and error actually no let me go back everything is trial and error in the tuning world what else is interesting is as I cruise around this car has a full exhaust on it now normally when you're in this kind of power level a lot of people kind of go Bonkers and do a hood exit or Fender exit or open downpipe like Zach's hatch was at one point but this has full exhaust and we have 600 horsepower and I can talk to you it's not a big deal it doesn't drone really and basically the exhaust is an offbrand magniflow all the way back so you're getting a pretty decent product and you don't look obnoxious while doing it and not gaining too much attention to yourself either since the car looks so normal the exhaust almost had to go with that normal look so I appreciate that too the injectors in this car as you can imagine are 2150s so you got to have enough fuel to back up the power so you don't lean out and well blow up but with this it feels so put together that I I have no worries about this car zero a lot of the times I'll drive some be like don't break please but this I have 100% confidence in the interior is still in great condition it has a very kind of put together uh air fuel ratio gauge right here no pillar pods it's very clean boost gaug is on your left kind of inside the dash so it Blends in just just looks normal and since I filmed this car 3 years ago it's pretty ridiculous cuz head two block and everything else the car has not been touched so basically it's been put together this long and that's crazy for how much power it puts out but the reason it sat for so long was because of wiring issues and the wiring issues were holding the car back holding its power and all that good stuff so yeah now we're in the best case scenario the car has ever been in and I feel very privileged to drive this sleeper Rob's been in the Honda game so long that even his daily is a single cam with a gt28 on it w that's what I'm talking about so I would just like to say it's official this is first the fastest front-wheel drive car I've ever driven by a lot and two it's the best Honda I've ever driven period the front-wheel drive I will say though if you're not used to that sensation going that fast in front-wheel drive then it'll there's a little bit of a Fear Factor like does it scare me a little bit it scares me just enough to where it's fun but if you're in the wrong situation you do not get on this car cuz if you're on a back road or something like that it will Dart you cuz the road if it has a divid in it you're going to go that way or you're going to go this way and that's when you let out of it but once you feel that fourth gear just reel all the way out it's ridiculous I'm so focused on the road cuz this car revs so high that that's that's all you have to focus on and you'll see in the very very corner of your eye you'll see a little check engine light and no it doesn't mean the car is broken that's your shift light another thing I would like to add is the shifter in this thing is fantastic if you don't remember when I drove Zach's his transmission was kind of broken it was like halfway broken so you had to force it in there that's why it Miss shifts all the time but this I am surprised that I've actually got all my shifts fairly down they're not the greatest in the world but I'm glad that I've been able to go into each gear and not be completely out of boost yay all right guys I hope you enjoyed this video I know I did it was a pleasure to drive such a bonker's little hatch it kind of opened my eyes to how fun these cars are and now I kind of see why so many people do these as a platform so I want to thank Rob so much for letting me drive this Beast of a hatch and I will see you guys next time and take it easy let me know in the comments section below what you think of this thing and would you expect this thing to be fast when you saw it so I will see you guys next time take it easy have a fantastic day woo ohit's for moment so today ladies and gentlemen we're in a 94 EG
