Im trying to decide what I want to do with the interior on my car. I have one sparco torrino 2 bucket for a driver seat and one black vinyl civic seat. I don't know if I want to put 2 race seats in it that match or get a different collor one or what, Id kinda like to have a non reclineable bucket for the driver seat and put the torino 2 as a passenger seat, what do you guys think?

I think Im gonna keep my seats how they are. the sparco sits so low that my head doesn't hit with my helmet on which is great.

I put some rc 550 cc injectors in my car and Im working on retuning it right now. I found out its alot easier to use the 2d map for fuel and just smooth everything out so its all about even spaces and nice and smooth then to drive around and find certain problem areas. I am going to up the boost soon too

I just took my hatch to PIR last night and got to run a few passes on street tires with a best of 12.9 @ 116 the other two were 13.0's so its pretty consistant.

on slicks I started cutting low 1.7 60's which feels GREAT I had a best time of 11.760 heres a break down of the time slip


1.694 60'
0000 330
7.558 1/8th
92.90 mph
0000 1000'
11.760 1/4
117.01 mph


Im very happy with my setup on my car. id like to make a little more power but I don't wanna be greedy. remember this car is still about 2200 with me in it so Im still making less then 300whp.

Nice setup man. I know a few ppl personally running eBay setups with hardly any problems. Boost is nice, but I am prob gonna do a simple all motor ls build sort of similar to your old one. Not to crazy and done on a budget. Just open it up a lil

I had a all motor ls, It was alot of fun. not super fast but very usable powerband, if its in a light enough car it will smoke alot of other vtec all motor cars making 50 more whp.

what cams are you going to run? Id love to do a ls with b16 pistons and some 404's with a ported head and some other stuff

2100lb w/ driver hopefully. I still need it to be efficent. Not trying to be the fastest out there. Just quick as **** lol. Have the gearing, cable b16 4.7 FD and LSD. Pulls nice with stock LS. Build will prob have ITR or b16 pistons and 403s, 404s I've seen sacrifice a lil too much low end for what I want. 403s dont really need to go above stock redline to make power so a crazy bottom end isnt needed. When you start getting crazy with stuff the build loses its original plan. Budget build. 180whp isnt hard with 403s Pnp 11.5:1ish comp and like you said some other goodies. All done fairly cheap compared to a vtec swap, plus its a fresh motor.

**** ya. there you go. sounds like a solid build. my car is sitting at 2200 with me in it but id like to get it lighter still. if you get that all together and make 180whp I could see it hitting high 12's on some 22" slicks and a good pass. plus its just different from what most people do and that is always been what Iv really liked.

Yea should be pretty stout. Goal is low 13s on street tires. Took a second look at the first set of pics and I see that it was indeed originally the same color as mine lol.

nope. I just don't drive like an ***. it did worry me for like the first month but never any issues. even when I do get pulled over they don't mention anything. it is seriously so much quieter in car then a under car open d.p. because it doesn't resonate your whole car. its similar to a loud 3" turbo back full exhaust.
