I met my goal 3 years ago so I stopped dumping money into it. Best decision I ever made.

Refresh top end and maybe new cam. New slicks, redo tune if cam/ head change is needed. New helmet (mine expires in 2012) then sit back and wait till spring! Lookin for mid 10's NA then this cars done and I'm buying another one to be an all out racecar.

OP, KCIR runs TNT into November, when it starts getting cold at night they will run from noon to 4 on Sundays till the weather won't allow it anymore.

So far my goals have not been met yet,I wanted to get my car rolling on the road but I think I bought to many parts at once LOL... I'm still in the process of installing my elec h2o pump and wiring it up. I still have to get her down the track to see what she does with just the bolt ons and weight reduction and actually weigh the car. Once I dial in all the adjustable suspension and get the best times out of it how it sits I will start looking for a good set of heads and cam/valvetrain. I have a full NX kit for after the H/C goes in. Then I will shoot for 10's next year. I have a bone to pick with a buddy of mine who's running low 11's with a turbo gsr civic hatch. All I want is to humble him up!!! One thing is for sure if I would have dumped all this money into an import I would be hitting 10's already,however I got so sick of the ricer crowd and people that come with it that I swithed to the darkside and am never looking back. Can't wait to see my car pull wheelies past his fart-mobile!

One year to get the hawk running again. Some odds and ends to finish. For a basic tune it runs and drives so nice. Hoping the dyno gets me to 400 rwhp.

Didn't hit my goal yet of low 12s with boltons, or 11.5 on spray, this might be my last weekend to hit test n tune and I didn't finish the nitrous install yet, and might not even be able to go if I don't finish this walbro fuel pump install in the next hour.

Still some good track weather left this year so we'll see. I have no plans on going further, but if I do it will involve N20. Problem is that entails different gears and installing a cage and possible suspension changes. Not sure I want to dump the several thousand dollars required to do that since I rarely ever get to the track and never race on the street anymore. If money is going to be put into this pile and if this engine lasts I'll at least put the 3.73's back in it and do some road racing. Who knows.

nope, I didn't get my LE2's valve guides fixed and thrown on.. I had back surgery in may and after a few months off I had to take an easier and less paying fishing job cause everything still hurts like hell. I'm finally in good enough health to work on my car again(wont trust a mechanic) now I just need to raise the funds. next year I should meet my goals I hope since me and a bud are buying a scalloper n goin into biz for ourselves...hell then I should have enough $ for an S60 since I know my rear is gonna explode w/ my new cam and heads

I'm done for this year.

I got my 12.XX pass, so I'm happy. Next year, I'll do a converter, SFI Flexplate, rear end gears, and actually put it on the Dyno to get tuned. I'm hoping for low 12's next year...

For reference, the car did a 12.9X at 107 with stock auto gears, street tires, and a stock converter.

I met my goal of a new heads/intake/block refresh and rear end upgrade. Hopefully next year I'll have my T56 rebuilt and new driveshaft in...and...well...whatever else decides to go to hell in the process
