yea and they like to ride next to you blow off on you, then leave before you race them ( referring to whoever may be the guy in the black EX with red mirrors, it says SIR on the back, but my friends said its actually just a EX)

Our friend has the Y8 boosted and does real fine with it above 10 PSI, stock internals. He rolled with us Friday if anyone saw the white hatch (Billy) with the "Wangan" boys.

Hay thats me!
Yup am running 8-10psi daily driven stock internals.
Only Fuel upgrade is Si 240cc Injectors and Cartec Fuel pump.
My Compression is low 9:4.1
Its all about tunning it rite to run 10psi on stock internals.
My car still running awsome.
Fastest BOOSTED SOHC daily drive Civic runs mid 11's fully build.

who the fuck cares what engine its on. sure another engine might have more potential, but when that turbo DX walks most swapped people, i believe the turbo setup was a bigger bang for the buck. Sure people are going to respond with "oh my ____insert car here____ with ____insert some built engine here_____ would tear that DX apart... im sure you would, afterall you did spend several G's on parts while the DX guy used around a G...

HEY! you're a dumbass. your stock injectors were exactly the same as the SI ones you put in

also, the stock D series bottom ends are semi tough. it's the tranny's you have to worry about...if you tune the thing halfway decent you can make some power. get a decent sized t3 and run 8 psi and 200 at the wheels is easily within reach. and all for under $1500...on top of that you'd be smoking all motor 200whp type R's because you'd be making so much more torque...
