RE: The Civic takes down an Evo 8.

I'm hoping for 18-20psi at the track. Probably around 10psi on the street. Parts that are on order include a new stock block, JE 9.0:1 pistons and Crower rods will be here early next week. The car WILL fire by the end of the month[sm=devilgrin.gif]

What about all the traction problems you WILL be having?

What are your plans there?

17 inch Rota Subzeros (black with a polished lip) and Falken Azenis RT-615s should help the problem. If not, I'll look into some better drag radials. Any suggestions are appreciated.

Maybe some traction bars. Ive heard of guys putting 1000 lb springs in the back. Its already oem LSD in there right, maybe an aftermarket LSD, although not really sure how much that would help but I know alot of shops swap out OEM LSDs for aftermarket ones.

RE: The Civic takes down an Evo 8.

I've been looking at some traction bars actually. Just the very nature of a powerful FWD car is not very good from a dig, but deadly from a roll. I'll have to see if anything is left over after the rebuild.
