I was there to see it in person and can assure you that the grandstands that day were far more excited than Junior himself. territory, his best effort a blistering 11.86 with a just a built DX long block and straight T3 turbo and yes, his was the first FWD Honda to hit that milestone as well in 1995. Eventually, guys like Junior, and there weren't but a handful, managed to jump into 11-sec.
Then they changed that notion and said that jumping into the 12s was impossible.

The consistent progression, a product of the rawest form of trial and error put forth by Junior and a host of other pioneers who constantly tinkered with any and everything they could in search of more power, traction and lightweight alternatives, unabashedly flew in the face of domestic enthusiasts who would bet their house that a measly FWD Honda would never break the 13-sec. That innocent little Civic would go on to be something incredibly special for those of us that were around Battle of the Imports during its golden era and were lucky enough to see it in action. Instead, in 1987, he purchased an '88 Civic DX hatchback. A couple of months later, it was vandalized." The crossroads that Junior was at during this time is an important part of import history in that he could have chosen to keep going with the mini truck world and steered clear of Hondas altogether, or he could have thrown in the towel and turned his attention elsewhere. A little over 2 years of owning it, I got car-jacked a few blocks from my house. I drove it straight from the dealer to a local shop to get a set of deep-dish, 15x8 Enkeis." The rest of the mini trucking essentials were added, including a chest-thumping sound system, camper shell and the necessary drop. "My cousin bought an '85 Nissan mini truck and a few months later, I had a white one. Though it seems like this is the direction Junior was headed, unlike his brother, he made a sharp turn toward the wildly popular mini truck movement of that time. Purchased by his brother, the two would regularly make the rounds to local shops to snatch any aftermarket catalogs they might have on hand to flip through and learn as much as they could. In 1985, that first car would arrive in the form of an '85 Civic hatchback.
