nothing is mechanically wrong with it, i am selling it so cheap because the bumper is missing in the back and i didnt think anyone would wanna pay much more for it. i still drive it everyday and it is a very solid, fast car.

haha. rice out civics arent even fun anymore, if i am going to make the effort to race something its usually mustangs or camaros that look over and chuckle at redlights. the looks on their faces shortly after are priceless.

Cool! Any videos? And 300hp w/o intercooling? Any managemant other than the safc? How much boost are you running? I like it

SpecM · 10-21-2008, 01:19 PM

what kind of management are you running?

i run about 10 lbs just driving around, or about 15 using water/mathanol injection for intercooling.and unfortunatly no videos, i am going to have a few soon though. and the only management is the a'pexi SAFC. not the best by far, but it does it's job.
i recently purchased megasquirt but am very reluctant to put it on, im probably going to save it for a 535is turbo.
