Default haha...16 seconds???

Aight i know this is kinda stupid for me to even worry about but here it is. I want to run my car at the track just for the hell of it, im not one of those kids who just throws an exhaust on his civic and thinks hes the fasted thing on earth. I know my car is beatable by possibly everything else that moves. I just want to race it to have fun and just see what i can do. With the mods that i list below, do you think my car can even make it into the 16's?

AEM SRI
Neuspeed Front Strut bar
Magnaflow Exhaust
Eibach springs
Konig 17's with Toyo proxes 4 (but if i do run this wed. i will have my steelies still on from the winter)

Trust me im not expecting to do anything great out there, just trying to have fun. What do you guys think, 16's possible?

I'm sure I could read thorough your old posts and find out, but I'm feeling lazy.

Yeah sorry dude
She's a chick.

Sorry, bro. No chance at 16's. High 17's will be more likely. Try to trim out any and all weight that you can.

I wasn't trying to dog you, or your car, but before the '06 we just got my woman (Diaper Wiper) had an '01 Lx (basically your car) and I g-teched it at a robust 18.2 seconds. Granted I had my buddy in the passenger seat, but....

Screw it, go anyway. You dont have to be in the 12's to go to the track. Just look at LEVIII, his car runs like high 16's and he is there all the time.
