Looking, good, gotta say I like the Integra, but the Civic will be lighter, and obviously can fit the 3 piece front etc.
I know some of of us are curious, why not post up a couple of slips? Sounds like you had the power and weight to get the car down the track, and some more practice on the front end would have helped your E.T's as well. Of course if the car is not running well that can be frustrating!

Re: On that 9 second quest!
I agree thT more power isn't always the answer. It's about how you put the power down. The more we turn my car down the quicker the ET's get and mph still stays about the same. Suspension setup and fresh slicks is key to hooking up and really dialing in boost control to keep the power in check in lower gears. Good luck on your quest !!

Well I think a lot of the changes and additions to support the larger turbo and more power will defiantly play a role into getting the car into the 9s. going to a 9" wide wheel from a 7.5 inch, Liberty face plate engagement, Lighter chassis Rear wheel speed and traction control, Reliable wiring. Personally I think those things can help my 1/8th mile times and get me towards my goals.

Re: On that 9 second quest!
I Decided to change my turbo manifold and intercooler setup so I checked around and talked to Josh @ finishing-lines.com and I ordered a Turbo Elements Forward facing manifold, T4, with PTE 66mm Wastegate flange, and forward facing Race Intercooler with 3" Vanjen clamps from him. Josh Kept me up to date with my order through the whole process and I could not ask for better customer service, A++. Parts came packaged extremely well. I did not want the intercooler to get damaged so I was very happy. The quality looks great, Hats off to Finishing Lines and Turbo Elements.
