The build: what you're looking at
The headline prize is a 2009 Honda Civic Si — the 8th-gen FA5/FG2 sedan with the K20Z3 making a factory 197 hp, paired to the 6-speed manual and Honda's helical limited-slip diff. That's the drivetrain enthusiasts actually want out of this generation. What sets this one apart is the conversion: UltraMotive went to genuine OEM FD2 (the JDM Civic Type R) parts for both ends — FD2 hood, fenders, bumper, headlights and lower grille up front, FD2 tail lights and rear bumper out back. On top sit a VIS carbon trunk, a Mugen rear wing, front grille and shift knob, a Hybrid Racing short shifter, Tein coilovers, a Skunk2 intake, and Volk Rays CE28s on Nitto NT05s. A coherent, JDM-correct build rather than a bin of random parts.
The fine print worth knowing
Entry runs 12:00 a.m. PT June 1, 2026 to 11:59 p.m. PT June 30, with the drawing on or about July 8. Paid entry is one entry per $1 spent on an eligible purchase, but there is a no-purchase route: mail a hand-printed 3x5 card to the fulfillment address (postmark by June 30, received by July 7) for twenty entries. Open to legal US residents (50 states + DC), 18+, valid license. The prize is non-transferable with no cash redemption except at the sponsor's discretion, and the winner is solely responsible for taxes — a 1099 will be issued. The sponsor lists ARV at $20,000; treat that as a build/parts figure rather than resale, and budget for the tax bill accordingly.

Why It's Special
Not a rare car on its own — the 8th-gen Si sedan sold in volume — but the genuine OEM FD2 Civic Type R front and rear conversion plus Mugen and Volk hardware make this a well-sorted, JDM-correct build rather than a parts-bin clone. The K20Z3 with its factory helical LSD and 6-speed is the desirable Si drivetrain.
Our value estimate
$20,000
Sponsor lists the ARV at $20,000; we report that figure as the stated prize value. Treat it as a build-cost / replacement-parts number, not resale. KBB pegs a 2009 Civic (good condition, typical mileage) around $4,250 retail, and at ~131k miles a stock Si sedan realistically trades $4,000-$6,000. The gap is the build: a genuine OEM FD2 conversion, Volk Rays CE28s (~$2,000-2,500 new), Tein coilovers, carbon trunk, and Mugen pieces easily add five figures in parts. No directly comparable FD2-converted Si sedan public-auction sale found, so $20k = the sponsor's stated value, with actual cash-resale meaningfully lower.
Editorial estimate based on recent comparable sales — not an appraisal.
