Toby bought a used 1998 Honda Civic when he moved back from South Africa to Washington DC in 2001.

The car did not stay stock for long.  As Toby and Kenny started autocrossing, the list of modifications grew:

• Cold air intake
• Cat-back exhaust
• Short shifter
• Shock tower bar
• Rear lower tie bar
• Front and rear anti-roll bars
• Lowering Springs
• OZ Superleggera lightweight wheels
• Low profile racy rubber
• Recaro SRD seats
• Carbon Fiber Hood
• Sparco Hood Pins
• “M3” rear spoiler
• Painted side skirts

And finishing touches:

• Red “H” crests
• And a big sub-woofer and sub-woofer amp (which had to be removed before each Autocross event.)

It was by no means “modest”, but Toby thinks it was still purposeful and understated.
