that's 187 hp and 133 ft lbs of torque at the front wheels.  If you assume an approximate loss through the drivetrain of about 14%, that calculates to 217 hp at 8000 rpm and 155 ft-lbs of torque at 6900 rpm at the flywheel....From a 1.8 liter engine.

So how fast is it?

Well, after I got the car tuned up, I took it to Pomona (April 1997) to run it down the drag strip.  I put on a set of 22"x8" slicks and got a run on it.  My first run of the day got me an e.t. of 14.023 @ 97.6 mph.  That was with a 2.0 60 ft time on the stock clutch by the way.

On the very next run, I let someone else drive my car and he totally smoked the clutch on the launch.  he got a 2.99 60 ft time, but still managed a 14.9 at 97x mph.  Judging from the mph the car pulled, and the 60 ft times, there is no question that we would have run high 13s that day if the clutch didn't get burned.  This was with the full interior, power steering, etc. with nothing taken out of the car.  That's also the last time I drag raced it, since my first road race experience a short time later got me hooked on road racing. And since I've built the civic, I don't race this car anymore, it's strictly for commuting.

The car has been very reliable. I've had no mechanical problems or repairs outside of replacing the worn clutch last summer (but it did last 60k miles). The car still runs strong and on long trips gets 31+ mpg!  Around town and mixed driving usually gets me around 25 mpg and still passes the California smog test.  Pretty good for an engine that puts out over 200 hp!
