[b]weight reduction isn't going to make your civic ANY faster..

100lbs roughly equals .1 secs in the 1/4 mile.

There isn't more than 500lbs of extra weight in a civic... I'd be suprised if it was even near that... that's a whole .5 secs in the 1/4... SWEET. now it's a 16 flat 1/4mi. ripper.

And to the poster...

You can port your head till there's nothing left to it... it's not going to make the car significantly faster... same goes for reducing the weight of the flywheel... it will help and it will get quicker...

really? Hmm how about a D16Z6 h/I/e, Phantom Grip LSD, 10 pound flywheel, on 15" rims with Pirelli Z rated tires running 14.8 @ 94 MPH, with a 2.20 foot time? Did I mention my car weighs 1960 pounds on the scales at the track? Head porting not giving u much power? Say what? Are u crazy?
