I totally agree that it is possible to go 12s N/A ,i personally went 13.5@100 with just I/H/E with radials cutting a 2.0 60ft on my first track visit and on a hot summer day,and i feel like with more track time and a cooler night with the right conditions i could cut it down to a low 13 with the same setup.I also dynoed 253hp to the wheels which is average with my bolt ons.I also talked to a shop in VA that did some work to a CL6 that dynoed if i recall correctly 286 to the wheels and went 13.1 messing around,so i totally believe he could go mid to high 12s with the right conditions.

its bc it can be a sleeper. a 2dr luxury couple hanging with V8's puts a smile on my face any day.
my plan is to hit low 13s to high 12s and only spending 5k to get their. i bought the car for $1800 so its not like i fucked up. and u dont see cl run 13 or lower. i want to be different. not like every civic their that has a turbo and completely stripped running 11-12s

i understand your argument.
but i have to rebute with the fact that a-lot of developments have been made in the passed nine years.
another member here put down well over 300 HP in his 6 speed CL running relatively low boost.
it seems like rajca is planning on forged internals with low compression and high boost.
A 3g TL-er known as typ-s09 ran 13's stock just from excellent shifting. he was in a base model 6 speed tl. it is common knowledge that an auto type-s 2g tl is just as fast as a base model 3g tl. so one can conclude that a 6 speed cl is just as fast as a 6 speed base 3rd gen.
with the right tune, the right tires, and the right shifting and boost. the cl can be a mid to high 12 second car.
just a thought

Luxury cars can be fast also,and it is great to see the faces of V8 guys when you beat them,i have personally beat 6.0 GTOs,SS camaros,Mustangs all day long,G35s,350Z,IS350,but do understand that its a drivers race and i raced all of them from a stop,so from a roll with some of the V8s we wouldnt have a chance,but thats the great part about our cars,they are sleepers cause nobody knows what they are and what they can do,so continue the good work and best of luck!

not sure if theirs a weight difference in between the ur and teh option but my ur barely weight anything. might be a diff, between the 6spd and auto. with the ur pulley in i can make solid peel outs through out the whole rpm unlike before where it would only peel out a bit.
i used the method where u but the bar on the ground and crank the engine over. on the second crank it broke lose. easiest way to do.

Replace your battery with an odyssey if it's a track car with occasional street use. The weight savings will yield 20+ lbs, the odyssey batteries are 10-12lbs.

The company. I have an Odyssey battery for the Civic. Weighs about 11lbs I believe. Or if your baller enough pick up a Braille battery.
Yes, its a carbon fiber battery.
