plans to turbo track/road car
car was only running 114bhp with 102 torque with a cone air filter when i got it, so first thing was to get it back upto standard power, and since my valve stem seals were on way out i got the head reconditioned, and added a cat-back exhaust, after that it made 125.6 bhp with 113.5 torque, so was happy with that.

not had any other engine mods as of yet, probably manifold and de-cat next.

i have removed the power steering pump which freed up the engine a little, i have also stripped virtually everything out of the car except heater matrix (as i use the car on a daily basis). more weight saving to come, poly windows, cut out any metal not needed, fibreglass wings, fibreglass or carbon boot an bonnet.

suspension wise i have lowered it on Gmax shocks an springs(40mm), got front and rear strut braces, D2 LCA's, lower rear tie bar, H-brace.
need either c-b bars or rollcage

painted the car Nato Green, powdercoated my wheels orange (but thinking about gettin some black EK vti alloys)

thats it for now

- Thu Apr 08, 2010 3:10 pm #186392 yes all us RHD are like that, some people have used the shorter EK ones, but they say the response isn't as good so mines staying.

not done any 1/4 miles yet so no times, bottom end need rebuilding soon i think coz im burning oil big style.

not sure on boost, gonna be on standard internals (except head bolt), so not alot, but im lookin at gettin 200BHP ish but prob bout 5-7psi

ahh good, because it looks really nice like that, and i wanna get 15's aswell did you fit the springs yourself??

- Fri Apr 09, 2010 9:48 pm #186708 had a little help from a mate, but yeah fitted myself.
quite easy really, only pain was an LCA bolt shearing off(cost £8.50 for one bolt from honda), would of had them done in 2hrs but took 3 days lol

- Fri Apr 09, 2010 9:53 pm #186711 well i'm gonna try it myself, got the clamps and that so, should be okay.... yeah i was told about those bolts being dodgey, i'm just gonna have to be extra careful because i'm not paying 8.50 for one bolt!! thats terrible

ill probably end up killing myself when i get it on the road after fitting the springs

how many sets of the clamps did you use if you used them???

- Mon Apr 12, 2010 10:39 pm #187288 didnt use clamps coz i change the whole suspension not just springs, but 2-3 clamps will do you, all depends on the quality of the clamps(known cheap ones to bend in half)
