Seb Wu wanted more power for his 1998 Honda Accord (CG8). So the car went it to Empire Racing Engineering in Poland for a powertrain swap. The company installed a 2.0 L K20Z4 inline-four and six-speed manual transmission from a Civic Type R (FN2). Empire Racing Engineering tuned the motor on a Ecumaster EMU Black ECU and made 235 hp (172 kW) and 239 Nm (176 lb-ft) of torque. The powertrain also received a custom 2.75-inch exhaust and upgraded clutch kit. On the outside Seb installed an Accord Type R bodykit and JR Wheels JR11 18-inch wheels with 215/35 tires. The body was repainted in Mercedes Diamond White Pearl color.
