that's no head work, no exotic engine parts, no crazy weight reduction. You have to be a decent driver though.
To me that's pretty run of the mill. If you can buy off the shelf parts, not even crack open the bottom end, and run 12's, then you're doing allright. And that's with my "tank" of a chassis. The civic si is a pig compared to a CRX, sure. It's still lighter than most of it's contemporaries and the added chassis stiffness helps it get off the line a lot better than the older honda chassis.
12's on street tires n/a is not run of the mill though. That requires some more effort or a lighter chassis (eg/ef)

Now with an eg + k20, sure, 12's are run of the mill and pretty much just an engine swap away.
IMO azenis are shitass drag tires. the sidewalls are way too stiff to launch effectively.
