What's the easiest way to get my EX to 15's?
I have a 1996 Civic EX 5 Speed that I use as my daily driver. I know I have a 12 second car at home in the garage but I'm tired of being beaten by SUV's when I'm in my daily. My only stipulation is that I don't want to use nitrous. I'm open to any suggestions as long as it's economical. My current best time is a 16.60 with a 2.4 or so 60 foot and my current mods are APC short ram intake, APC front and rear strut tower braces and a Flowmaster muffler.

So a used turbo kit is the easiest way you think? I must say a turbo is very tempting. If I could find one for a decent price I'd love to go turbo.

If you have a 12 second car at home and this is your daily driver, who gives a **** if it's slow. That's the whole point about being a daily driver. A good economy, high miles per gallon car to get you from point A to point B.

When does it EVER end? *tears running down my face*. LOL. Make the 12s car faster then. You have to fight your feelings and leave your DD stock as ****.
