I pulled a 2:16 last time i was out there on Toyo R1R's street tires with my Civic. But unfortunately i had problems with the car. I should be hitting around the 2:10's with the setup i have the next time out. Good luck this weekend man.

Well im making about 160whp and the car is about 2400lbs. with my 6pt roll cage in it. I usually run with Speedventures and Redline. Maybe you might have seen my civic. Its dark blue with a big wing on it, you'll rarely ever see hatchback civics with GT wings because no one makes one. My last track day was Redline Time Attack competition at Autoclub Speedway where i brought home 1st in FWD street class. Since then the car's been down since problems kept arising from my old motor breaking down on me due to heat and intense driving conditions.

What motor do you have in the Civic? I've seen your car at Redline's events before. If my car was running, I'd usually go to Redline's events in my Prelude. Otherwise, it would be either the TSX or the A4.

In my Prelude, my best on Buttonwillow config. 13 CW was 2:06.xxx. That was with a stock H22 with some bolt-on parts, completely gutted interior, and Toyo RA1.
