AdamR28 Posted June 29, 2020 Report Share Posted June 29, 2020 Pfft. I got 211 on that dyno from a 1.0L Seriously man that looks awesome, both the car and the curves! Top work on the DIY exhaust too, very easy to make a mess of that area but you did a mega job. You must be super chuffed! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dann2707 Posted June 29, 2020 Report Share Posted June 29, 2020 Haha cheers Ads! Really appreciate that. Vtec now engages at 4200rpm which is just mega. Can't wait to get it on track 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wrayvon Posted July 8, 2020 Report Share Posted July 8, 2020 Car is up and running!! Had it mapped on Monday, sadly my exhaust is restricting it somewhat but it made 200bhp and 220lb-ft of torquey goodness. It really is incredible to drive. Such a difference from the pinto engine I took out. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MadManMike Posted July 8, 2020 Author Report Share Posted July 8, 2020 Are those Jeep headlights? Looks awesome, I think I'm going to look at something like this once we've got a house - a proper weekend car that I can keep in the garage Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they look good and the actual light output is crazy good (standard ones were like candles also...) . Cheers! I would absolutely recommend a 7 style car to anyone. So much fun!

Tom Booth Posted July 8, 2020 Report Share Posted July 8, 2020 I only quickly glanced and got dead excited at twin turbskis, dissapointed when saw they were lights. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only discovered recently he’s very local and could be very handy in providing me a local tuning solution for customers cars if he knows his way round a Honda. Mammoth task EP3 re-shell I’ve been on with is all but complete as of last night. Brakes to bleed, boost and AFR gauges to wire and install tonight and I can take it for a test drive and see just how useless 440whp is in a Civic. Really getting quite busy now. Lovely Civic EK4 VTI in for gearbox bearings and some wiring gremlins to sort: And another stunner of a CRX VT for a shorter final drive and LSD fitting: 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's been so helpful during the build I definitely couldn't have done it without him. No idea if he has any experience with Hondas though.... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SamKidney Posted July 29, 2020 Report Share Posted July 29, 2020 CRX went through its map session on Monday with no issues whatsoever and made bang on the numbers the lad was after. 262bhp 231nm. He’s promised me a drive when it comes back sometime. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s a first gen GT3582R, a bit large and agricultural for what I need really. The car the kit came off was running around 430 at the wheels. Looking to drop down to a newer GTX3076R, power goal somewhere around 400whp as it’ll be on a standard engine. Oem K20A2 with the only modification being a new headgasket and ARP headstud/nut kit. Oem ratio gearbox with an M Factory plated LSD, Stage 5 paddle clutch, LA Fabrications sidewinder exhaust manifold and 3” exhaust from the turbo back. Bosch 1000cc injectors, GFB 48mm wastegate plumbed back into the down pipe. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MadManMike Posted August 11, 2020 Author Report Share Posted August 11, 2020 Rest in peace, Red. 1992-2020 I'm gutted to announce that my car is now scrap. The engine was indeed totalled and a previous bodge on the rust means that it's way worse than first thought... after a thorough inspection by a specialist, it's like a cheese grater underneath (Unfortunately without any tasty cheddar to be had). So, she's being broken. I've had six years of fun and I'm absolutely gutted it's come to this... I was hoping for a quick fix on the engine and just rear sills sorting, maybe a bill of around a grand, worst case Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MadManMike Posted August 11, 2020 Author Report Share Posted August 11, 2020 It's not worth it. It's done 265k, it would be the 4th engine if I swapped it again and the cost to sort the rust is literally thousands... You can get a pretty clean one for £2k, so there's just no point, other than attachment. I'm buying a house in the next few months, so it would be silly to spend loads on this or a new one. I'll probably just get another one for around a grand just to play with - maybe an MR2 for a change of scenery. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And yeah, once we have it, I plan to get something that needs storing in a garage. I really like the 7 actually, it's tempting! What would a half decent one set me back? Other cars on the list are S2000 and Boxster, but I'm open to other non-roofed options. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
