Hey guys, I'm buyin a '96 DX Hatch for 5000$ and it's going to be my project car. I have a full 6-bay garage that's only 4 months old and all the tools I need.

I want to achieve a low 13 with street tires keeping it all motor. Does anyone have a proven formula to get me there ? I need to start my shopping list and buget. Any help would be appreciated.

this is what i have on my list so far..

iceman intake
70mm throttle body
itr intake ported
P&P head job w/ 3-angle
ss valves
valvtrain
skunk2 stage 2's
330 cc injectors
B&M FPR kit
ctr pistons/rings
CM stage 3 or 4
chromoly flywheel
ultralight pulleys
moroso oil pan
4-1 2.5"
custom 2.5" exhaust with titanium muffler
straight pipe
aem ems
itr 5 lug swap
skunk2 coilovers
tokico illumina 5-way
strut bars, lower tie bar, chassis x-brace

... this is just off the top of my head and I ran out of time to finish the list.

holy ****. you said you searched and didnt find anything. do you know where the search button is. usually when people dont search i search for them and show them how easy it is and post links and stuff but you arent worth the time.

Daily driver. Domestic eater. 12's would be nice.. but seems far fetched without boost.

An older buddy of mine has a 4.6L GT with a 3.8 gear, short shift, cold air, custom exhaust and 50 shot of nos. He "says" he pulls a mid 12.. I don't buy it. He does nothing but knock imports. I would like to let him see my tail-lights one-day without boost and really make him eat his words.

For some reason, I have a feeling I'll need to stroke the motor or build a cr/ls/vtec to get there. I'm hoping I won't need to as all these parts are already costing me a ton.

I'm going to get 16" gunmetal itr rims for that setup... but I really want the advan 16" rims in bronze with neova tires.

i know alot of people on here are against it but h22 with a few decent mods will easily put you in the 13's. do enough and you can be in the 12's without boost easily
