Thanks for the responses, Im gonna invest in some really sticky tires.
This is my first turbo car, and Im still learning how to really drive it.
Maybe its just me. Ill practice and get pointers.

lsd helps keep you from meeting the guy in the lane next to you when you launch the car.

The quaife is probably the industry leader right now, and is a bad *** LSD.

What sticky tire do you noggs run?
I was looking at the Tire Rack and these are some options.

Avon Tech R-A


BFG G-force T/A Drag Radial


Hoosier A6 / R6


Kumho Ecsta V-710

Can't recommend any of those specifically, i've only ever used semi-slicks and remoulds for track racing (ie round bendy tracks) however, i would say, you'll spend alot of time changing tyres if you plan on going near rain (or a puddle).

i bought mine from edgeracing.com

mickey thompson et streets FTW. i have nitto tires, the road race ones i think. they grip very well, i can make the back end come out if i take turns hard enough

Not many Civics can fit a 26" tall slick, Scott. That's the smallest MT made the ET Streets and Drags when I last checked three months ago. M&H makes a nice line of DOT slicks, although, frankly, you might a well just run a regular slick on the street. The DOT stamp just means that the manufacturer put some halfassed tread lines on a regular slick that don't do anything anyway, and either gave some DOT official money or ********.

DRs leave me a little cold, but do a pretty good job for the 180-250 whp Civics. Azenis are equal to or better than BFGs from a roll, and I'd try Nitto 555Rs before I'd buy a set of BFGs. The MT Sportsman "I" treads suck at the track, but they are awesome on the street and look like lawn tractor tires.

Sounds good, Thanks
