Let me dig up some links that I have for some wicked K series builds. I shall return.

This car would eat my old evo for lunch from a dig or rollin 60. watch out vegas evo's its a real sleeper
I am glad to hear another individual has made the right decision.

I want to get a hatch.
it would be so fun.

I love EGs and EFs theyre awesome.

and a 370whp hatch that weights 2200lbs will move a lot quicker than some of you think on the right slick.

Would it be quicker on a right and left slick? Photo of that motor is awesome!

I love evo's way more then hondas, but my brother is building a honda and i know people who have built hondas that will easily serve up highly modded evo's people forget that the cars weigh nothing! And from a roll thats alll more to the hondas advantage anyway all high end power, and on slicks a honda can trap some sick 60 ft's with the right driver...Although it's hard to sepculate cause i haven't seen the car or a mods list sooo....Best of luck with your honda

ive owned 3 different turbo civics(all faster then my evo) and i still love the driveability and handling of my evo over any of them...true the topend rush of a 500-600 whp civic is awesome but without slicks you do little more then paint black stripes down the highway(traction on slicks can still be somewhat limited)...i love my hondas but the best car ive ever owned is my evo ...i could never imagine going back to only having a honda as my fast street car

Thanks smoked. She was my pride and joy. A lot of money dumped into that thing.

It actually a dual bend shifter made for an EG, in which you sit higher. I needed the single bend, but it was still a short throw.

The entire car was Skunk2.

B18c-r
Skunk2 head package w/ stage 2 cams
.25 over bottom end with Spoon rods and pistons
Jet hot coated Toda header
Full Energy Supsension Bushing kit
Suspension Techniques front and rear sway bars
Cross drilled rotors front and rear w/ stainless lines.
CF front end
Host of JDM goodies
Wire tucked engine bay

And my favorite plate:

One of my boys with a USDM integra type r, built block, head, and full race gt35r turbo kit, put 422hp to the wheels with a pump tune. The car is sick. When we go to the track, he barely runs 11's on bf goodridge drag radials cause he spins so bad. But he traps 126. Needless to say we have ran against each other, but he cant beat me from a dig. His car is hands down faster, but just cant grip off the line. I'm on the stock turbo, and block and never had my car dyno'd. So i dont have my numbers, but they cant be high. Any-way, I really doubt an evo with bolt on mods with a good driver would loose to you. I could be wrong though! Nice numbers by the way!

I would love to have that car as well!! It has to be a blast to drive! The evo can be costly, thats for sure, but if it is your passion (it is mine) then live it up, and don't care what anyone tells you.
