Please show me where I hate in every post I make? Oh you can't b/c yor full of ****. Just b/c you can't accept someones opinion doesn't mean I'm a hater. You posted your car on a public forum and didn't expect some sort of feedback on it. Weather it be positive or negative. Grow up! This is 2x now that I've given you the truth and you get all butthurt instantly. Someone needs a big hug.
Yup I never run my car hard at all. It gets beat on every day from the day it's been boosted.

should all be on by spring, then i'm keeping it like that till i get out of school or hit the lotto haha

Upgrading the sway bars is one of the biggest improvements you can make. I did progress CS-2 full coilovers and an itr sway on my teg and it was night and day. Sticky tires where the next best thing.
I'm not a fan of smaller tires on wider wheels. I'd go with 205-45-16 at minimum or 215-45-16 but they are a 1/2" taller in overall diameter so you can't go as low if that's what your into.

im only going smaller tires for clearance. and my buddy has a cd5 with an st rear sway bar and it stays planted much better than mine does and my suspension seems stiffer. i'm riding on 215/50/17s right now so any smaller tire will make my car look significantly lower. and i've seen 205/45/16s on the cd but i think i'll want 50s for the small amount of wheel gap

im not sure if he's actually making 220 whp like it says in his sig, but if he's all motor and making that much power in an ef sedan it would probably take your dc with 265whp. This is assuming both of you are decent drivers

50's on a 16" wheel is going to look huge

You sir are 100% incorrect. Horsepower means nothing without torque. Which an all motor B series has none of. Alot of you kids don't realize this. Plus there are multiple other factors that play into it like tires and suspension. My friend made 200+ in his hatch and he said that I'd destroy him.

How can you say im 100% incorrect? Based on what? Nothing. I said it would PROBABLY take you. We wont know until both of you hit up the track and get some times posted. I've seen plenty of boosted cars at the track get raped by mildly built all motor cars so you can argue all you want, but a DC Chassis with with 265whp isnt gonna be pulling any crazy times, i think if you two raced with slicks and decent driving it would be a close race

That's fine. We both are entitled to our own opinions and I'll leave it at that. I daily my car and it won't ever have a pair of slicks on it. I built it to drive on the street and when I go to the track it's on street tires.

I sure hope you don't have stock LS gearing. A lot of you kids don't realize that GEARING plays just as much of a role as horsepower.

If you don't have stock LS gearing, it's a toss up. If you have stock LS gearing, a 220hp naturally aspirated car with B16A/ITR gearing will WIPE THE FLOOR WITH YOU if all other things are equal (tires, suspension, etc.).

Just FYI...
