Default Just got my first Japanese Car, Lovin it

Hey everyone, this is my first post and i love my 99 honda civic i just bought a month ago. I used to own a gas-guzzling 5.0 mustang, then went to a gutless sunfire, but now im loving my civic. Its got alot of engine mods, and is deffinitly a sleeper car and i was wondering what kind of times your guys's cars run in the 1/4 mile?

Its a t 03/ 04 , but it has no marking on it whatsoever, ive taken it to a few shops and we have no idea of the make of the turbo. I bought it with all of the modifications done to it, and im hopeing to pick up some knowledge on this site.
