Sorry to go so offtopic but this thread has no good information anyways.

-------------------------

And your bother paid more then he should then. You can get a full typeR legit with papers for less then your bother paid for a civic typeR.

Let me break it down for you.

Turbo- 1000
Internals / Sleeving - 3000
Manifold- 1000
Tuning and Injectors/Pump- 2000
Intercooler-1000
Misc Turbo Stuff- 1000
Head + Headwork- 2000
TypeR bottom end that needs to be rebuilt - 1000
Misc stuff- 2000
Slicks- 500

A civic shell to put it all in.... ~1000

Whats that ... 14-15000? And I allocated more then one should pay for certain things.

Add 500-600 bucks for some tuning...

< 12's, and in my friends case, less then 10's come spring time and the track opens again.

Numbers are Numbers. Thats why im not impressed. Hondas are quick, as much as people want to hate, these silly little 1.8L engines pack alot of grunt.

To me, its all about cost per 1/4 time.

FWD Economy 4 banger with turbo .... RWD Live axle Mustang

You obviously know which has the advantage when it comes to drag specific things. Thats why im not impressed.

Oh and my car.. I have the exact same setup minus typeR cams, which im going to get really soon, that my friend had before he went turbo. So these numbers are very proven as long as my driving is upto par as his. Notice I didnt say.. RUNS, I said WILL RUN.

And I'd goto the track this comming weekend to throw #'s in your face. But it doesnt look like the weather is going to be cooperating. So im in no rush. Spring time will come around and ill have plenty of time to show you then that I know what im talking about. ;)

EDIT!!!!

Check this... Run 12's for 7500+Car

Point being, ... Honda stuff is cheap.
