The Sport Compact Fall Nationals will take place this weekend, October 3rd & 4th, at Englishtown’s Raceway Park. Titan’s very own John Ferguson will be piloting the IPG Civic of James Innes at this weekend’s event.

After recent testing at Orlando Speedway, the engine had a little unexpected wear, and was torn down and rebuilt here at Titan, in preparation for this weekend’s race. In addition to some super-secret engine and turbo modifications, the civic also got a fresh face lift, with a new front bumper to match the flared fenders. The car now not only looks meaner, but sounds it too, and is ready to give the guys in the Outlaw FWD class a run for their money.

Over the past few weeks, Titan Motorsports has been prepping James Innes of Innes Performance’s VX Civic hatchback, piloted by Titan’s own John Ferguson. The two have been collaborating on the car for some time now and have even won The East Coast NHRA Sport FWD Championship in 2006! Currently the car has undergone a complete refresh, based on IPG’s specifications/Titan recommendations and boasts such parts as a GSR bottom end, B16 head, Borg Warner S-372, G-Force transmission, Mickey Thompson 26×10 tires, and full Strange suspension. Additionally we have had to add 140 lbs. to make the 2500 lbs minimum weight requirement. We chose to put it in the passenger floorboard to help with the weight distribution. The Civic was dynoed in the heat of July and put down 860 hp to the wheels at 35 psi. The car ran 9.70 in the Florida heat recently and should be even faster when it travels to Englishtown, NJ for the Outlaw FWD Shootout on October 11-12^th. Best of luck to the duo, we will post more on the Shootout and the Civic after the event.
