Masta: Thanks man... that car was a beeeoootch to get everything to fit in there. It was a fun project though. All sorts of pictures of the build-up of that car are on my website in the gallery section ;)

davcivic: You mean Microtech, not Motec, right? Cause Motec will be more than $1400 in parts... i know, i just bought one... lol.

Quicksilvia: Don't really sell them anymore... people don't realize what kind of work goes into one of these things, and consequently, they think they should sell for dirt cheap just cause some buddy of theirs thinks that he knows how to weld, when in fact they don't know ---- about it... I do have pics of that blue Civic, but not online... the closest i have at the moment would be Titans old civic here: http://www.rpiracing.com/RPI_Picture...an/default.htm the motor incidentally now makes over 730hp to the wheels with my manifold on it, it is just in a new car now ;)

Yeah you are right..... I was at work and I'm not "allowed" to browse the net, so I posted quick and didn't think about it.
But yeah still, pretty good, they know their ----

same thing i was thinking. there's quite a few guys around where i live that run mid to high 11's with as little as 350whp, although, integra's aren't the lightest honda either, but yeah, he def. has some traction issues or he just can't drive. still a bad ass car though.

I'm saving some money now to get it done. I need to get the turbo and injectors myself, save some $$$, then take it to get it done.

Soon enough.....

lol, I would rather have a 300hp car that ran low 10's
+1

Ive seen thier videos and the only props i give them is its streetable.Thiers local street civics around tampa with 600+hp so thier cars arent magical to me.Alot of people i know think thier cocky for posting that most of us are "out of thier leauge".I'll like to run my dsm against thier civic once my slicks come in.

too bad they sold the car so you wont be able to race em. they can be cocky cause the car had better numbers after plus not many people still have ac and power steering creating that much power.
