not a bad set up, but you will just be as fast as the standard usdm gsr with bolt ons because the ek hatch weighs only 5lbs less than the coupe. you can run high 14's with a chip ecu, low 14's with bolt-ons and ecu, but if you are going stock, expect low 15's. been there, done that. i'm speaking reality not gossip.

That is a "norm" in the Honda/Acura world, but as always it won't be smog legal unless you know someone like me that can pass it.
