you know what be a cool race...if i decided to keep my civic i would have the motor fully built up + balanced, and just have it run some insane amount of nitrous. that would be an awesome race against some of the turbo vics here. someone should go that route instead of everyone going turbo.
edit: cant forget for the price of a turbo kit i could run a dog box w/ customs.

the most you are going to get out of a 1.7l and still be legal is enough to run high 11's at the very best.

btw the difference between a mid 13 second car and a mid 12 second car is huge! and no, 10s is impossible without breaking legality.
wait...doesnt he inject methanol into the cyl? thats pretty illegal last time i checked. i could be wrong though.

"Rob Honda bearings don't come in a kit and no one makes a rods for your car
Now if he can find them cheaper you should buy them from him

Rep Power: 312 Not sure if there are rods available or not, but I think he was referring to other civics...typically rods go for $600 or so I think.....But if you have to custom machine or forge them, than the price goes up (as in your case).
