Had a goal set out to run 9s in my street car back in 2005. After a string of many many transmission problems, 10 year old GE sleeves sinking and working crazy hours, car went 10.10@150. Ended up selling the car back in 2009 after going through a bunch of crap in my life.

Here's a link to my old street car...

Fast forward to 2010.....My great friend Mike had been holding onto a car for a while and after some positive encouragement from an amazing
chic(k) in my life, I picked up the shell and started over with a goal to go 9s in 2011 in my street car.

I have been working a ton this year and am also getting my Master's degree so it's been a slow build. But after many more gears breaking and going through turbos breaking, finally today I got into the 9s. The car was on lower boost as I didn't have a lot of time to finish tuning it. 1st gear was 15psi, 2nd gear was 20psi and 3rd and 4th was 24psi. Gonna hit the dyno in early 2012 so I can finish tuning it at higher boost levels and get back out there.

Huge thanks to the following people that have helped me so much along the way:

Setup:
2000 Civic HB
Hot Rod Satin Black
Exospeed CF front end
Exospeed Star8 wheels
B18c, Pro1 cams, 67/65 billet turbo, custom JKOBD.com mil-spec harness, turbo manifold and intercooler setup, ID2000 injectors, DW 340lph fuel pumps with Full-Blown hanger, AIR CF intake manifold, Hondata S300, PPG gearbox.

I know it's not 8s and all that jazz, but the car has a lot more left in it and I am just happy to finally get into the 9s. I made another pass after this one as well and it went almost identical 60' and 1/8th mile times, but I let out at the 1000' mark because broke up a little and went 9.99@121. I have some videos that I need to upload. Bring on 2012.

Here are a couple quick videos of those two passes.
