the evo chipped a piston due to a stupid thing. 110 octane on 41psi doesn't mix well. cp pistons have very thin valve reliefs cut into them. this is what gave out. he was about to turn the car up to 50psi on q16 to push around a grand to all four. an 80 mph roll in on bfg drag radials all around it would break them loose. 180mph in 4th gear at 9800 rpms is a riot. for more info on the evo. www.mkcperformance.com what you don't see is the 800+ whp civic under that crx. 
my car does have a tvs on it. for those wondering.
yep. im running pirelli's because i got them for a deal i couldn't pass up.

I'd really like to hear one in person. If I had the money, it would be nice to have a hatch and a fun little 4 banger turbo. Although I have a feeling I would spend the money on a vette lol

Ok thanks for your smartness Mr. Toon'd06. It was a simple question that could be answered in minutes instead of searching.
I couldnt quite make it out but thanks anyway.
