"Immaculate" is the word. When you look at Taylor Lupo's 93 civic hatchback, you can say that inside out, this car is immaculate. I met up with Taylor in Nashville at the Import Alliance meet to shoot this beast of a car. When i say beast i mean beast, a street tire beast. Hes rocking out with a fully built h22. Putting down over 225 horsepower at the wheels, this car competes well with the modded K series cars, and is very strong competition for the B series and H series crowd! Be warned, traction is an issue. Once Taylor lays into the gas pedal, the car is all over the road! With the power that this car puts down and the mods list, one would forget that Taylor also has once of the nicest hatchbacks that one will ever lay eyes on.
Brand new paint, a engine bay graced by Taylor and Mr Chase himself of Chasebays and Rywire, a dope interior, this car is setup to do whatever one could imagine. If you want to goto the local meet and carshow, or you want to hit the track and streetraces, this ride has it all. So when you are rolling around Alabama and see a red hatch, be careful, and think of the word "Immaculate".
