That is a sweet hatchback. B18C5 swap if I recall. Gotta like the commentary...
In defense of the Lightning though, that was one **** poor run on his part. Those things will consistently run in the high 13's without so much as changing the air filter.

Thanks for the kind words If you watch the video again, the Lightning may have had a bad run BUT, *listen* to my car, I TOTALLY mis-shifted second gear..DOH!!

I'm hoping to have some nice runs this year. Hopefully in a few weeks I'll have some slicks, that should put me in 12's. Then I have ALOT of work going into my motor, involving JE 12.5:1 85mm pistons, golden eagle sleeves, eagle rods, portflow port & polish, ferrea .5 over valves, Toda or TWM Individual Throttle Bodies and Hondata and few little extras. I hoping to pound out some major horsepower and maybe, just maybe, dare I say it, hit 11's all motor

Miguel

Yeah, that was a friend of mine talking in the video. Not my feelings toward the trucks. I think they kick ***.
