My friend took me for a ride in his little project car. It's an '88 to '91 Civic hatch with a ZC twin-cam engine, head milled 30 (!) thousandths, bottom end with B18B rods and ARP forged 10.5:1 (i.e. with stock combustion chamber dimensions) pistons, fueled by four RC 270 cc/min injectors, two additional 480 cc/min injectors powered by a Haltech unit upstream of the throttle body, approximately 103 to 104 octane fuel (mixture of 110 and 93), a GReddy turbo boosting up to 15 psi, and an Apex N1 exhaust (amazing how much quieter they run when coupled with SC or turbo). Traction via Nitto 550 NTR's up front. Little SOB was nasty. Engine was on the rev limiter startlingly quick in first and second gears. Don't know what all the capabilities of the car are (peak horsepower or torque, 0-60, or 1/4 mile), but it's shockingly fast.
Word has it he's whipped through his share of ITR's ;)
