I thought about a CRX when I was first looking into this, but I just couldn't adjust to the styling of it. I then saw this article about an H23a civic with an H22 head and a Turbo and I knew what I wanted to do. My next car, however will be more tame

H23a block, H22a (Vtec) head. Greddy T-88 Turbo. Full Internal port/polish/replacement. Bored out my throttle body, 3" downpipe, straight 3" to the back (no cat) and a 5Zigen Fireball muffler at the back. HKS Racegate, A'PEXi AVC-D Boost controller. God I can go on forever. I tried my best to replicate a hatch I saw in an old "Turbo" magazine, however it was done by drt, and I would rather not take my car to them (out of state) to tune. So I didn't go with drt products. 600+ hp isn't bad for the setup, running 20 lbs of boost. Its a great car, on slicks the best I have ran is 9.5 in the 1/4 mile at 160mph. Its very fast, and no I am not a professional Drag Racer, I dont have the time nor money to trailer this car to race after race and pay for expenses.

If that bike runs 9's stock thats cool, but to compare a bike to a car is rediculous. I have beatin my faire share of bikes, I dont give props to some fool on a stock bike racing cars 
btw, thought we were on good terms bud?

all of the pro racers have moved to the H22a, some have even a variation of my setup with the H23 block and H22a Vtec head. I don't think I will see 8's unless I spray, but thats too risky. ooh a 1.8L Turbo, I would love to see that
