that and the B20 is pretty cheap if youre a patient shopper. Definitely cheaper than a B18c, and as cheap as some B18b's if you look around.:thumbup:

I want torque. Being able to pull from anywhere in the in the powerband appeals more to me than just having power at the top.

Beav, if you're going into Mod or SM, you might as well get an LSD too (like $300 extra from hmotors) I plan to:thumbup:

going against others....

I've had toyo proxes fz4 on my type R & civic, and I never had any problems with them, I don't think they suck as much as everyone is making them sound, but I'm not sure if there the best Z rated tire for the money... i liked the traction they gave me in wet conditions, also good solo 2 tires

I have them on my 17" rims and I'm not feelin them at all. Plus they are loud... has anyone else noticed that? They definately don't track as well as my last tire. BUT they do last a damn long time!!!

actually after consulting some rules experts i found out that i can swap my engine for the b16 and stay in sts, but i'm gettin the limited slip, so actually i'll get bumped to stx, since the b16 is a different engine option for my gen of civic and for some reason the fact that my d16 has vtec is required for the swap to keep me out of SM
