Re: track e/t (HXvtec)
yup...you're 17s are slowing you down. Sure they look good but you basically spent money to slow your car down.
Are you auto or manual? Autos are generally slower, or if you have a 5 spd you need to learn to drive it better.
what was your reaction time? 60ft? 1/8? might be able to help you more with your driving technique if you give us that info. 17.7 is really slow, even for a hx.

Re: track e/t (elevatethis)
On your list of upgrades you write fuel pressure regulator. Now do you have a fuel pressure gauge so that you know what pressure your set at or are you going the good old guess and check method......

Luckily you didn't tear your motor up. If you didn't check your oil you probably didn't check the tranny fluid either. Instead of checking your times check your car or it might be towed home from the track. By the way your time was about right for your car.

first of all don't use anything that is made by APC 
.....check your oil level first, and get a 2.25" exhaust. 3" is way to big for your setup. 3" is nice for turbo, but not a n/a d16
