Default my goal

my goal is to beat a stock civic si haha.

so far all i have is an injen intake and tanabe medallion axleback
and im planning on getting nst underdrive pulley, weapon r headers, and a throttlebody spacer.

i know a si's whp is around 175 and the torque is like 139, and i saw on another theard that with just the pulley and intake he did a 162 whp dno run?

Since 2006, the Civic Si has been rated at 197hp, and we're at 158hp. Good luck with your goal.

^ Vids or I call BS Cory lol

Skip the bolt-ons and save up for boost. What's the point of trying to keep up with a stock Civic Si when he'll destroy you once he gets bolt ons and a tune?

the other thing you have to keep in mind is the civic is alot lighter than the xB2.
it wouldn't hurt to shed a few pounds, and get some light wheels

BBS LM weights:
18x7.5 = 20.5#
18x8 = 21.1#
18x8.5 = 21.6#
18x9 = 22.4#
18x9.5 = 23.3#
19x8.5 = 24.0#
19x9 = 24.2#
19x9.5 = 24.6#

Work VS-XX = about 3# more for each size

Stock steelies are about 22#'s, you should PM coryjames, and take him up on his offer. Both of his sets of all bronze wheels would look great on your xB, and will give you the light weight you need & are looking for. You can also get them for far less than new sets of the two wheels you mentioned above would cost you...

Lighter wheels, high quality, better price = WIN, WIN, WIN!
