where nathwraiths brand new stock ibiza cupra made exactly book figures

be interesting to see what his CR-Z makes at the next RR.

Well Muffin has had a nicely rebuilt engine which is probably the reason.

In comparison, my mate up here with his 5-figure B18 engine build puts out 200hp at the hubs and around 245hp at the fly. That puts into perspective how out many other Integra dyno figures are :)

Are any standard cars showing 245 on any rollers? :p

What did yours make at that rubbish one in Surrey? :eek:

Over here
Gave it the big clean this weekend, so many stone chips :( I'm getting my asbo custom exhaust in March from Meercat in Kilbernie, may as well have a noisy last 2 years of ownership.
Then again, I could very well end up with it for the next 10 years, who knows.
I wish I could just find a car that I loved everything as standard and didn't have to fiddle with it, I doubt I'll ever find 'the one' though.

157.......................

Romain thought I had a B16 in there, but alas it's a B18. Rubbish rin though, need to get it on a dyno up here, but I don't have the time and cannot be bothered. Engine is sweet and she is fast as she should be.

A bit of a long shot, but.....

I've got a set of Team Dynamics Pro Race 1.2 15" alloys that i used as track wheels on my old UKDM DC2.

Since i tearfully parted company with the car on the standard wheels i've been meaning to get rid of them, but i cannot for the life of me read what the offset is on them and i want to advertise them being able to answer any questions i may get.

I know they "stick out" a bit more than the standard wheels did but aside from that i used to happily swap tyres between the 2 sets of wheels, does anybody have a set that they know the offset for and if they would be the same or did they come in different offsets in the 5 stud 15"?

Thanks.

The fn2 digital speedo is okay, I dont mind it at all, its better than in the newer civics like my courtesy car - I'm a tallish chap but like to have the steering wheel quite close. With the wheel adjusted how I liked it in the newer car, it was totally obscured by the rim of the steering wheel! Hopeless.

As for the fn2 being torque less, I came from a 2.0 duratec fiesta with 200bhp, the k20z4 felt fine compared to that, if anything it feels like it has more torque! If you compare the k20 to anything with 6 cylinders or a turbo then yes....torqueless. But compared to any other 2.0 n/a engine its fine!

Got the box part of my mugen intake fitted now, much swearing and confusion later until I bit the bullet and dismantled the scuttle panel to free up some space....gonna leave the ducting/fog light scoop part to a garage (bumper off job, with eleventy million fragile plastic clips to break :(). Car is booked in for Eightspeed for 2nd March to do this, fit my Mfactory diff, and hopefully fit all the brake bits that I have.

Excuse the pics, sunlight was coming in from a low angle...

Also got given some Mugen reservoir socks by a mate who is selling his EP3, I figured why not make use....are these considered pointless JDM tat though? :p

Nice! That Mugen box looks like it's nicely tucked away, not seen that before. Is that Eightspeed in Darwen? I don't live too far from there, Stevie and Mark worked on my EP3 when I had it. Pleasure to deal with every time :)

Yep thats eight speed, cheapest place I found to fit my diff (by quite a bit) and the most accommodating place I dealt with when ringing around for prices too - I've got the car booked in for a Saturday too so dont have to take time off work.

Seeing as youre local - is there much to do in/near eightspeed? I will have plenty of time to kill whilst they work on the car, but don't know the area at all!
