In this episode of Carnatomy, presented by KONIG Wheels, we break down one of the most efficient and dominant time attack builds in Gridlife. Fresh off winning the Gridlife TrackBattle Time Attack Season Championship, driver Jimmy Rauck gives us an in-depth look at his championship-winning 1999 Civic hatchback and explains what makes the car so fast on track.

Jim’s build features parts from  @KTunedYT  ,  @GarrettTurbos  ,  @Ohlins  , Zebulon, and more.

From chassis setup and suspension philosophy to aero balance, wheel and tire choice, and overall efficiency, this episode dives deep into the details that matter when chasing lap times. Jimmy walks us through how his EK Civic was engineered for consistency, reliability, and outright speed in one of the most competitive grassroots motorsports series in the country.

Gridlife TrackBattle is known for pushing drivers and cars to the limit, and Jimmy Rauck’s Civic is a perfect example of how smart engineering, driver skill, and purposeful parts selection can outperform more powerful builds. Whether you’re into time attack racing, Honda performance, or building a track-focused car the right way, this Carnatomy episode delivers real insight straight from a championship driver.
