this from the man that gave up his F-body for one

i gave up the fbody for one because the civic didnt have a monthly payment and could be built up to be decent (i could learn more about working on cars as well).

in the end i got rid of it and went back to GM but I know what they are capable of now. A buddy who helped me build it had a civic hatch with a GSR swap and turbo'd

thats the dyno sheet..in a car that weighs close to if not less than 2k lbs..thats an 11 second time in the quarter

also close to 10k in mods so not worth it but it can be done lol

I was about to say how much he have in it in order to pull times at the track that you will with a bout 5 k in mods or a LS can with about 2.5k in mods. ill give it to them there are some fast ones out there but they are not street able and the durability sucks at that point

No idea what motor is in my civic, Its a 96 dx hatchback 1.6 non vtec. Thoes are some solid #s on the dyno tho for a little car. Id never touch this thing lol, mild suspension perhaps but doubtful. Only import ill buy and make fast is a supra or wrx/evo.

ZFreie, you have a d16y7 if its not vtec.

for an econo beater its not a bad little ride. gas mileage was great when i had my del sol lol

oh and boomer, ya i know its much cheaper to mod an fbody and have it faster. and he loved it on the street but i HATED it, car was sliding off the road more than it was on it lol

he ended up sellign it, got the 10k he put into it back and bought a Twin Turbo Supra
