Staged more than likley.

The guys on the MLR were talking about a SuperCharged Civic that was handing out a few spankings to some evo boys. 260 BHP with Fuck all weight says it all really.

Hey Dan, hows things?

I can remember bailing out of the RR room that day....the noise was SO loud!

I have seen a few 'charged civics on AVA now and they make about 215 ATW so thats prob a genuine 250 fly.

we stopped along with a few other friends of ours.

We ended up changing the wrecked wheel and helping him get the car home as he had no jack/wheel keys or anything inthe car
