Default The old girl came back home

As some of you know I sold my green hatch about 4 mos ago and got a S2000. It was more practical for me to have the S instead of the denali and money pit civic. I was orignially going to turbo the s2000 but I knew I couldn't just leave it at 7-8psi and drive it. It would turn into a huge project and with the nice sized car note I have on it, it would suck the first time it was down when I made the car payment. I sold the hatch to a co-worker. Since he has had it he build a new ls/vtec and switched to a sc61 from my pt67. I have been looking to buy a ls1 project car over the past month and I was within $500 of buying one last week but it worked out that I was able to buy back the Civic yesterday. I plan to race it tomorrow at the Import face-off event in memphis. It doesn't have nearly the suspension it use to and it will be on pump gas (430whp). I have no idea what it will run but we'll find out.

Why did he downgrade the car so much? 6xxwhp pt67 powered, to an sc61 with worse suspension?

There wasn't many cars there but I took first in the street tire class. My best was a 12.3@123 and a 12.5@126 on pump gas and kumho 205/50/15's. I will be getting some drag radials very soon.
