This little beauty was sent to us by Michael Isip. Michael, 20, is actually boot camp bound (Marines) this coming June, so before he gets down to business on the art of kicking ass, we wanted to show off his hard work thus far.

The car, an FA5 Civic Si sedan, is a true testament to “rolling hard”. The wheel/tire fitment, while not exactly “hellaflush”, is nonetheless on point, and even though the car is nearly sitting on the ground, it remains daily driven. Hear that kids? Daily driven. Also, the drop is provided via coilovers, not air, so he drives it at the height he parks it at…..which is the way it should be.

So Michael, good luck with everything, stay safe, and we look forward to seeing what else is in store in the future! And until then, keep on street scrapin’!

I’m sure many of you can remember tossing an older generation EVO around in the Gran Turismo and Tokyo Extreme Racer series at one point in your younger years. Well, in 2003, Mitsubishi finally gave us Americans the opportunity to make our video game nirvana a reality. And for many of us, it was a dream come true.
