That's not that mint condition car you bought a while back is it?
If so, I'd leave it up to a pro
And how do you know you have a 10 second LS VTEC? LOL!?

I was wondering that too, hopefully sarcasm owns us, otherwise, ignorance owns him.

silver is what im thinking red possibly, no hack jobs here, back to the ls vtec engine its built to handle 25+ psi bored 2.0L SC series turbo in a 2k lb car do the math...takes around 10 psi to run a 11.9 in a setup similar to mine in a heavier car...so rouglhy around 500whp should get you into the 10s....

Dont keep it red. Red CRXs are the most common colour of CRXs out there. Mine was red and I couldnt change the colour on it fast enough. Do something like white or a gunmetal colour. But with either of those I would suggest changing the wheels. If the white is not almost exactly the same as the wheels it will look stupid. There is a guy in my area with a white Civic and white rims and they are not even close to a colour match and they look like ***.
Lower it a bit will make it look alot better aswell.

i would go red. i have a red rex and painted it black, there are some spots were i can still see red keep it red, even if its a different shade.

a lot of those turbo cars just become burnout machines and run like 12's, good luck with it don't count on 10's off the bat though, play it conservative so you're not dissappointed if you don't run 10's. Anyway silver is nice and uncommon. It makes a car look abnormally modern too.
