Hint:
On the first turn, downshift to third, and before you start your turn, make sure you're in second. And make sure you just turn in with the power on. Don't let go of the power- the car tends to tail out if you let go even a little bit. I got a 1:33:224 and I can't make it any better.
And about the civic, it seems like a challenge but I'll see what I can do. It's not really easy to tune a light RWD car that has crazy turbo lag. I can't clock better than a 5 second 0-60 on that thing!!
