Super +1

I had an '89 Civic Hatch. Gutted with full tank of gas and driver it was only 1750lbs. Mine was built for AutoX not drag but i can see how it would be good for it. You can get one of those cars for less then 5k

Here you go. Ready for 12sec.

 

i hate civics with a passion. they are sh!tty cars, look like crap. but they can be fast as *****! grrrrrr

 

Buy a 1g DSM, put an exhaust and MBC on it. There... done.

 

Well guys for 5k he could just get a 4g63, drop it in himself and just have it FWD - LOL

 

You have a very good point there, but that's why I bought the cars I did. The Lancer is the hawtness, the Civic is the fastness! Looking to the be turbo'd by next winter pushing near 350 whp on a D-series Z6. About 2100 lbs with the turbo kit I'd guess. 12 second passes with 14" x7 rims with Mickeys. DD BTW! LOL

 

In all honesty i really miss my '89 HB. I had to get rid of it because i kinda, sorta cracked the block.

5k into a '89 to '91 Civic hb will make a monster. LS/VTEC with a T3/T4 = scary fast.

 

I want to slap you right now... lol

 

Turbo kit and LSD! Done!

ROAD/RACE

 

= more then 5k

 

This really made my day.

Hope he keeps us updated on this thou. He/She might want to get the Lancer first.

But the Hatch idea is a good idea if your going for performance and your on a budget.

 

$3999 + $999= less than $5000!

ROAD/RACE

 

haha then you still have 2 bucks for gas. waaaaait a minute, what about shipping?

 

True True.

But what about an install? Id do the turbo kit but i get nervous about cracking open the tranny.

 

Plus i dont think that you would be in the 13 sec range with just that.

 

Well the LSD would help a lot since you'd actually be getting all the power to the ground. With some bolt ons (intake manifold, TB, exhaust, test pipe) and a tune (using RRM V1 piggyback, emanage, whatever) you might be hitting 13s.
