Our VTEC engine lineup starts with the perfectly balanced and light weight 130-160 HP Honda Civic D16 engine. In our opinion the perfect upgrade to the 60 year old A series drivetrain. We do offer the original 60-80 HP A Series drivetrains upon request.

Honda D16

WE CHOSE THE HONDA D16 FOR SEVERAL REASONS, FIRST OFF ITS ALL ALUMINUM BLOCK AND HEAD SHAVES OFF OVER 20LBS FROM THE ORIGINAL A SERIES DRIVETRAIN. ITS COMPACT FOOTPRINT ALSO ALLOWS FOR OUR A/C UPGRADE TO BE FITTED. ITS LEGENDARY RELIABILITY AND FUEL ECONOMY. THE PERFECT BALANCE OF POWER RELIABILITY AND WEIGHT THAT STAYS COOL IN THE CORNERS AND HOT DAYS. ALL HONDA MOTORS ARE REBUILT WITH NEW COMPONENTS.

KEEP it COOL

We now offer A/C for select cars. MK3 front Grills are required for some engine configurations due to clearance issues. We are developing additional options so stay tuned. The above image is the Padded Dash upgrade traditionally found in the MK3 Sport model but can be adapted to a Classic interior.

 
 

Below are some examples of our Super Cooper Classic builds over the years. The distinctive external hinges are the easiest way to differentiate them from the Sport models.
