back on track to the guy asking about a 10 sec ride?
if you even have to ask how, then your gonna need more than 1ok. not being mean, just being honest!
I've had a buddy spend more than $20g's to run a 11.4 in a civic hatch & he showed me all the receipts. and on the other hand had another a friend spend less than 4g's to run 12.5 on his 1g awd eclipse. theres so much to it.......

Building a10-sec takes time, patience, dedication and money...if wanna do right Short cuts save you time and money yes...but 9 times out 10...you end up paying for in the long run
Try sticking to Auto-x (I think that's what you call it in US) run a EVO w/ 330~370bhp (achievable with min. costs) it's fun, challeging, and doesn't hit the pocket as hard
Besides, like I said before use EVO as drag car is fun...but you gonna miss over half of what the car is REALLY capable of 
PEACE

I agree with you, the car isnt designed for the 1/4... but i think its a little waste of the car for auto-X... roadracing/lapping sessions would be where the fun is at... in auto cross you dont run side by side, your not even "racing" anything except the clock... you also dont get to really use the full potential of a car with high hp... thats why miatas are populuar on the solo1/2 circuit. Although auto-x is a good way to learn how to controll and correctly manuever a car.
I actually pitcrew (well i did before i moved to OR) for a scca road race mk4 supra.
To be truthfull with you, drag racing is safer than road racing... on the street and off the street... and its also easier... thats a good reason its a popular way to measure a cars potential along with the drivers abbility to controll the car... oh yea, did i mention that theres probably 10x's the amount of drag racing tracks in the us compared to a normal track... its actually easier on the car (14 secs compared to 20+ minutes), and less expensive to do.
