Ah, you like them low offset wheels huh. If the roads around here were decent I would be running some too. But I'd hate to drop $1000+ on nice wheels only to dent them because of fucking pot holes.

Intake, headers, exhaust, full coilovers. Had it painted a while back but it's fading, the carbon fiber hood is faded too.

So I got some bodywork to do, will paint it again after I get some cash. Maybe a new intake manifold and some wheels :)

Lingenfelter 1999 650 HP Twin Turbo Corvette - 226 MPH Top Speed - Motor Trend Magazine March 2000

Lingenfelter Performance built this car in the spring of 2000 for an upcoming article in Motor Trend Magazine that was to be featured in the March 2000 issue.
The 1999 C5 was a 350 CID LS1 Lingenfelter 650 Horsepower twin turbo, six speed Corvette with our standard production twin turbochargers and twin air to air charge coolers. The car ran HRE forged three piece aluminum wheels, Michelin tires and was lowered to reduce drag at high speed. To insure the car would stay firmly planted on the pavement at speeds over 200 MPH we had 300 lbs of ballast in the rear of the car.
The Corvette was run at what was then called TRC or The Transportation Research Center located in Bellefontaine, Ohio. TRC was equipped with several facilities including a crash lab, emissions lab and the 7 1/2 mile high banked oval test track.
Driven by John Lingenfelter on pump gas and street tires this Corvette set a Motor Trend record for fastest “Tuner” C5 Corvette with a pass of 226 MPH.

you will NEVER get that kind of performance out of a civic. you need to strip it down to the bone and even then if the race gets over 100 mph forget it...

K&N intake. I had a friend who worked for megan racing so he hooked me up with the 4-1 headers and cat-back exhaust. A lot of people don't like megan but I'm not rich and the car sounds pretty good.

Yeah, the cf hood said it was uv rated, but it's been eaten alve by the sun. Probably just gonna sand it down and paint it.

I've got some generic wheels on the car ATM. Don't know what brand.

Custom Koni double adjustable race dampers/coilovers set up with extra travel, Swift springs(2.25/2 hz.), JDM Type R: aluminum lcas w/solid offset bushings, custom caster/camber plates, widened track, custom re-engineered suspension points, R chassis stiffeners, R torsion bars, Ecsta XS tires(sticky), same weight as a 91 Civic. Built to handle - much better than an R. Lots of other stuff. Daily driver. :)

Worse thing about owning a Honda: Honda forums and the little douche bags that hang there. No offense to the decent guys!

guess you missed the part where the lingenfelter corvette holds the world record for the fastest 'tuner' car....

street tires and 226 mph.

to be fair this is a 200,000 USD+ car.....
