When you first meet Kyle Richardson, he doesn’t immediately strike you as the kind of guy who would own a ’93 Civic hatchback. You see, Kyle has a very metropolitan, almost sophisticated way about him. He has a classy demeanor and he looks good like he just stepped out of a fashion magazine. I mean the dude’s nickname is “Prada”. Yet, KR is a proud Honda man and in his own words, he loves building “stupid little cars with stupid big motors”. And this, my fiendish friends, is no exception to that rule.

Last time this hatch was dyno’d it made over 700 whp but that’s still about a hundred shy of Kyle’s true comfort zone. “I’m going for 800 horsepower. That’s the magic number” he told me when we talked. For most, 800 horsepower is usually more of a “comfort zone” when talking about airplanes not cars; particularly those weighing only around 2000lbs or so.
