If you don't need better tires, then I think you're fine. I'm curious how much traction you're getting out of anything that'll fit on those narrow things.

I can cut high 2.2 60 fts with mine. 
I get laughed at too, until I proceed to put buslengths on the ricers that laugh. B18C turbo with VX rims and stock ride height.

Re: civic vx...getting laughed at??? (Dutchie)
I love my VX rims. 9lbs each. Sleeper. I guess traction is a problem right now...especially with the horrible stock tires. I've managed 2.2 60 ft times consistently. Here's a pic of the car:

Turboed VX here, no VX motor though. The old motor could do the 1/4 mile in 2 gears. So damn long.
if they laugh at ya, just ignore it, just beat em. Then they'll scrath there head and wonder WTF.

I guess a turboed VX is like a fat chick, fun to ride, but you would never tell your friends about it.

thats cool that you turbo'ed that car. you might get bored with it real quick tho. i know this dude that turboed a dx and he thought he was the **** (not sayin anything about you), but he would go to the races and get stomped on. i dont even see that car running around anymore.

no cuz you turboed a truly worthless motor. could have at least done mini-me or even a SOHC VTEC swap..
My friend turboed his 99CX and ran a best time of 13 flat with an FMAX turbo kit. Until I saw him lately and blew the engine off through the hood. Now he got the CRV motor in there with the same turbo kit and runs mid 11's.

What's wrong with that?
