yep epic tuning did most of the work, since then the turbo setup changed and now i will change the clutch setup, the suspension, and get a good tune on it shooting for 400whp on pump gas thanks guys, ive loved this car since i first remember them doing a build thread on it 3 years ago and I finally got my hands on it šŸ™‚ ---

Looks good Squirrel. How about you keep this one around long enough that I can get a ride in it when I get some time to come down and visit lol. Hopefully John can work his magic and get you into the 10ā€™s. Any chance of switching to some corn juice assuming itā€™s more available down near you now? ---

oh man, why did we only find out this was awd until page 2? that should have been one of the first things you should have mentioned, including pics of course! i love the stock look, and dont even mind the blades so much. nice car, cool to see it running on a z6 too, those engines are tanks. ---

Iā€™m all for the squirrel DDā€™ing this thing. Honestly man, itā€™s a civic, not a ferrari. Yeah, itā€™s cool to have nice cars. But itā€™s so much more fun to beat the balls off it and maybe end up with some dings and chips and rust. ---

just ordered some new parts since this has shifter cables (not linkage like most civics) I wanted to rebuild the shifter ā€œboxā€ with new bushings etc since it felt way too sloppy parts ran me $50 but im hoping after they are installed and i get the hydraulic conversion done it will be a much more enjoyable car to drive ---

Not the best for a daily from what some of the guys in our world have been finding out. Best results have been solid mounts with poly inserts, donā€™t fix what ainā€™t broke though right? ---
