I want to see what kind of times and mpg you get with this setup. Could be a fun next project.

Yeah, I think my buddy got his as part of a "combo deal" off Egay. Perhaps I'll grab it off of him.

unless you have friends in Japan who can get the ---- for a few more $$ as ebay sells it for. I hope it fails.

on a side note, power to weight ratio still owns.

my 95 civic coupe ex(heivest of that generation of civics, power everything sunroof,abs,disc breaks,full coilovers, SHIIT IM PIMP lol) b16turbo full interiour tools weighed 2550 i thought that was a lot for a civic. any hatch is going to be about 200lbs lighter. your car doesnt "probably weight 2800lbs" till you weight it. its easy to get 300 pounds off your car probilby but you should weight it so you know how much your car weights becasue making a comparision to stock weight is different then what your car weighs. stock my car weights 2450? but i got a different engines turbo and stuff so it adds up. ive decided im going to get a lighter car to put my stuff in. lighter is better and its a thing i look at when buying a car. im not going to buy a 4000lb tank. im always interested in what my car wieghts i use to work at the scrapyard so now everytime i get a new car or if i ever gut one of my cars im going to take it there and get a weight. i suggest finding somewhere you can do the same.

i weight it when it had the twin setup and full interior it was 3150 with subs amp speakers etc... on a truck scale

my stang has/had power windows, locks, moonroof, 4 wheeler disks, ac, cruise, full suspension, big front and rear sways.

weight isnt everything you need to have a platform capable of handling the power. if top fuel/funny car dragsters werent made out of high tech super lightweight components they would weight a lot.
