Well took the 90 civic to the track last night. After breaking a wheel stud and my boost controller doing nothing above my wastegate spring level I ran a 12.4 with my trap at 118.9. I was running about 8 pounds creeping to 12 so I was happy but was expecting more but next time I will get the bugs worked out and get some real boost. ---

12.4 isn’t bad at all. I’d be happy as fuck with 12s right about now. ---

> [@Stroker](#): > > specs from his intro thread > [@SlowCivic](#): > > Yeah its a bored / sleeved ls. The car is an older civic white body and a grey and black frontend. I sleeved the block to a 2L and built the bottem end up the usual parts and added a girdle and harmonic balancer to hold the thing together at high rpm. Added crower valvetrain and turbo cams and plan on taching to 9000 or so. Should run good. Going for 10’s on slicks if I ever get it done for this season. I am running a T3 / GT40 turbo a few other goodies. Now I need to see if the clutch will hold the torque… Honda ?? Torque haha :doh: ---

It’ll go faster Steve, dont worry. Did you and Dennis confirm the wastegate issue after we left? I cant wait to watch it tear ass on race gas. ---

No im going to look into the wastegate problem tonight and try to see why my boost controller isnt working. We took it for a spin and it only would do the gate boost so i may have a line on backwards or something i have to check into it. I was running bfg radials and 2.0 60 ft times. First time out didnt want to kill it plus i was having some bad trans. problems basicly mine is shot hahaha keeps popping out of 1st and some lockout of 2nd if i even shift semi fast. ---

Send your gears and forks off to get hardened and coat the trans case. You know just in case a gear explodes and decides to make its own hole.
