car: 88 crx hf - gut the ---- out of it replace windows w/ plexiglass (thin) and the rear hatch w/ plexiglass. Remve the gas tank and replace w/ a 1 gallon fuel cell, rip out the entire dash etc..

motor:

depending on if u want it to last, you might bebale to get one pass out of a d15b2 running at like 25psi...(stockl of course) lol...

you can prolly put together a d16z6 or soemthing and sleeve it and all sorts of fun ---- and then run like 20-25psi. :) that'd put you into the 12s no prob.

12s on a budget, buy a mustang. ;)

Re:Dumb question high 12,s on budget.
 

I have about $2500 in my car. So far it still has the glass, full size fuel tank, and only 12psi of boost.

I have only made 6 passes with it. Hopefully next time out it will run some 12's.....

You can see pics, numbers, and specs in the 1/4 times post under general discussion.

ok better yet, what can i get out of my 95 civic ex stock but willing to work with it. soon to be running 5-6psi this weekend. what can i expect from my d16 with 6 psi boost 2 1/2 exhaust no cat and a rice muffler straight through.new tires too.

if you hold a whipcream bottle right side up it releases the propelant which is NOS. just hook up a hose to the whipcream can nozzle & run it to your intake. My friend did this in his stock ex coupe and ran a 14.4 with coilovers and street tires. i was impressed.

Re:Dumb question high 12,s on budget.
 

he only used 1 whip creap bottle on that run. the day after we got back from the track he bought a Y connector and ran 2 bottles at once! that thing was blazing fast! he was only 3/4 of a car behind when we raced. i gotta 99si w/10psi t3 dynoed at 247hp 202tq. i wish i would've done that before i boosted.

that story sounds a bit um... interesting. I would like to see how it looks in the engine compartment. :P. 8URHONDA ya mustangs sure are fast aren't they ::). lol j/k. 12's are a hard land mark to get too. And when budget gets in the way it will not be reliable as a daily driver, only as a events and fun night out car.
Hope I helped,
