The ep3 civic in the backround ran a 14.87 at 96 with only i/rh/e and full interior on street tires. Very bad drag tires as well. Azenis rt512 suck for drag racing and he definitely spun. He mopped up all those new si’s and type-s rsx’s and even the se-r. He was a cool guy even though i could barely understand him. There was also some locals down there. THe guy with the black 135 who runs at lvd was there. All in all there was some fast cars and it was a great day. EVO\>\>\>\>\>WRX/sti The fastest car there was an old orange camaro that ran 10.2 @133 followed by the yosolo all motor civic that went 10.8 @ 129 There was also a k24 coupe that missed almost every gear twice. SOmehow the guy still managed a 13.0 @113 but this car should have been in the 10’s it was wicked fast. ---

That’s what he’s saying. The kit is nothing really and they’re still running low 12’s trapping low 120’s. Arod himself even said the kit is junk. Good kits for B Series run about ~$4k. ---

Its an ebay t3/t4 on alot of custom made parts. The only ebay part was the turbo and it seemed to work ok. Jrod picked up a much bigger better turbo for next time. ---
