I wasnt really thinking of high horsepower, but just enough to push from 115 stock to 130, and make it better for hilling thanks for all the advice.

i probably have one of the fastest imports on this site and i don't feel like posting all this info on a civic bc there is so much that can be done. If you have a more specific question then just instant message me my screen name is disbtommy

BTW AEM cold air intake is good, just a lil pricey. The iceman is a good intake but not the best because it doesn't give as much power to all cars as it does sound.

The most you'll gain from a CAI is about 2-3 front wheel horse power in your case. You might see a couple more, but don't expect to see much difference. It's one of those mods that will help once you're making some good horsepower. But at the same a good starter mod.

At the track I've run a best of 13.6@107 with a 2.2 60Ft. So, as you can see traction is a problem for me. If I were to get good traction off the line I should be able to see a 13.1-13.2, or maybe even a 12 if it's a very nice day out. You can check out my webpage
Have a good one.


For traction, why don't you just run slicks? My RX-7 ran 13's bc i couldn't catch traction til almost 4th gear. With slicks i ran 11's

Yeah, with that 107 trap speed you should be able to tag a high 12 with slicks. If you're a good driver you could easily pull a 1.8 or lower 60ft time on slicks, and that will help tremendously.

woohoo i get to see the Tiesto civic again!

That is really low, how much have u lowered it? i am gueswsing -60mm drop, and how big are those wheels, 17"?

Its quite a smooth car with a Euro look, i think u can make it even smoother by delocking and de-handling it, smoothing the tailgate and then that car would be some smooooooooooooth ride!

LOL....the wheels are 18's and it is lowered 5" in the front 51/4 in the rear....

i was going to take the door handles off but i am selling the car now...so i didnt wanna bother.....and the tailgate is smoothed....i shaved the lock, symbols, an the license plate holder is custom.,,.,.that is not what the back of a civic realy looks like stock..,..so it is a custom trunk.....just a suttle change.


thanks for likeing it

Why dont I run slicks, well there's a big problem with running slicks, big traction equals breakage. I still have the stock 10 bolt rear in my car. And well, lets say it won't last but a few launches with really good traction. I've heard of many people blowing their rears on a stock car running slicks. If I get anything I'll just get some DR, maybe Nittos. I'm kind of thinking of selling the car too, because I want to buy a nice speed boat. We'll see what happens though.
I think that with slicks I could run a very low 13. I'm not the best driver, but I know how to launch my car pretty well. I know I could drop my car to a 2.0 60 ft with street tires, because I've seen it happen before. And I've ran a 2.1 before, so I know it's possible. We'll see what I can do if I don't sell it.

My current project is a Mk2 Seat Ibiza, i;ve nearly finished the audio system, as my car is red i opted for a Sony Xplod system. I've got the ACtive Black Panel MD played, Xplod Front Speakers, Xplod COmponents, Xplod 6x9's on the back shelf and in the boot I put wood in there to cover the wheel arches, put a 6x9 in each one. I've got 2 XM-444 amps running the 6x9's, an XM-222 neatly tucked beneath the passenger seat running the mid's and the head unit powers the tweeters and fronts. For Bass I've got an ALpine SWR-1241D (1000W peak, 300 RMS) and that will be running off an XM-1502 amp, if io could find a place that stocks it!!!!!!

That is my audio system, and it is fine for clarity and loudness. I'm not one for entering Db drag races yet tho

Good Audio brands are Rockford Fosgate (THe RF series V. Expensive!) Focal Top end stuff (some tweeters cost 900 Pounds!!!) and JL Audio.
