I'm assuming that with I/Y/E a VG five speed would be around 15.5-15.8. Add clutch, flywheel,cams, ECU, build up the motor, and you've got a VG that should be in the high 14s. However, its $$$. The tranny is the only thing keeping me outta the 15s right now
but then again, I haven't run in the cold weather yet.

A well built turbo VG can easily push 300-400hp. An modded but internally stock VGT in a z31 can do 13's. Sure it's RWD, but no lightweight. I will run 13's. Then I won't stop until I get 12's. Boost it and gas it man. I promise.

Mark, you've been commissioned to help me this winter with the new project. Sorry, but it's now your civic duty to help me!
If I get approved for the money to build this garage I'm planning, it's on. Then I will claim some fame for my fellow VG drivers...
Until then I claim the title for slowest 3rd gen (seeing as the damn thing won't even move -no tranny). Put that on your records sticky!!!

My (future) wife and I have planned on starting a custom shop somewhere in the future but she still has more schooling to go and I would like to go back to school also. That could all get pushed ahead at the drop of a hat, though. It depends on what the economy does in the next year. I'm getting ready to take on a mortgage and start a family, so that's going to take the front seat, but I've been toying with the idea myself for a couple of years now.

The beauty of building it myself is that it will be to my exact specifications and custom taylored to my own tastes.
