If my Civic was more reliable, I would tear up the Autocross scene, I took mine out into an autocross course that was setup out at the drag strip. I had my drag racing super soft slicks on the front and regular radials which are still better than most tires on the back and I ripped **** up. People were pretty stunned when I finished up, I didnt realize how fast my Civic was until I got back.

Apparently I was faster than a 1994 Corvette, a 1991 Mustang 5.0 prepped for AutoX and countless other little cars, there were 2 cars that beat me, one was a 1993 Monster Miata (a Miata with a Mustang 5.0 Motor) and a totally hopped up WRX that let out a high pitched whistle every time he shifted gears from the turbo wastegate.

Well, I guess I could expect that, what with 260hp in my 1990lb Civic, the Corvette would need 450hp just to match my power to weight ratio.
 
thats bad ass dude
btw: how did you swap the awd drive train outta a civic wagon?
have you ever considered swaping the H23A in there and then of course turbo charging it?......turbo H22s OWN.

have you considered dropping an H22A in there

not 23....the H23s arent all that.

The H22A Series or type of engine is angled the wrong way, it is angled "backwards" and the transmission is on the right side of the engine bay whereas mine is on the left. I also think the B16A is superior to the H22A but many people will argue that to the death. The B16A is a lot lighter and has WAY more aftermarket parts, but whatever. The main difference is that the H22A has a closed deck block which is better for any kind of boost, but I wouldnt use that much boost...
