Type R and VTEC owners

I think it looks great apart from the over fussy detailing at the back, hopefully those won't make it to actual car. Wish they were releasing the USDM saloon and coupe versions too, but it'll never happen.
 
My vtec will definitely be going bwahh here soon lol. Building my little track queen k24/20. Going for the all motor track record in an 8th gen civic SI.

400cfm cnc ported PRB head just came in from Prayoonto. +1mm on the intake valves. Titanium springs / retainers.

Prayoonto Stage 6 3lobe cams. Lift .598"/.557" - 15.20/14.15

Should push close to or right at 400whp

Stoked!!!

Got a brushing sound coming from the rear. No excess heat so that all but eliminated caliper binding. Reading more into it, seems there is a problem with the factory settings on the axel nut, going to tighten it tomorrow and see if it makes the noise go away.
 
More S2000 problems for you all.

I've got a horrible grinding noise coming from the head of the engine at around 2000 rpm. It carries on until above 3000 rpm at which point its not so bad, or you're on full throttle and cant hear it over induction sound. It sounds like something hitting something. You can hear a light grind / buzz when cruising along on part throttle. Not sure what in the head could be making the sound.

Using a stethoscope you can feel it coming from the front of the head. The only other component which sounds loud through the stethoscope is the belt tension er. I will be taking the belt off shortly to factor out any belt driven accessories as the cause.

The previous owner had a new TCT and chain put on 6k miles ago. I believe the sound has slowly gotten worse over my ownership of 6k miles.

Car still revs to 9k happily. Problem is at its worst when using around 2.5k rpm when setting off in 1st or reversing.

I'm going to take the valve cover off and have a look inside but doubt I have the ability to diagnose anything visually.

Terrible stuff.

Likely to be the secondary shaft bearing in the gearbox.

I guess you can hear it more next to concrete barriers and walls?
