Will do my best mate, life has a way of getting in the way of hobbies! Bought a B18cR fully forged block I would like to throw lots of psi through so that will be the basis of the turbo build. The block was built by a local guy who made just under 300HP naturally aspirated with a 2L B series...

I haven't read through the whole thread (naughty) but with standard rotors and calipers you could do worse than Pagid RS4-2 and a fluid upgrade before trying to mess around with new size anything. I ran this on my EK9 for a number of years (the rear pads are ten years old and still have lots of...

Wow it's been a long time since I was last here... Work has kept me busy the last couple of years and haven't had much time for racing, but got some stuff in the pipeline you all might like so just teasing! Looking to go full on time attack mode with the car to make use of the aero meaning a...

Saw this for sale (brand new) here in New Zealand and couldn't resist - fantastic car, beautiful to drive, brakes are amazing, and looks to die for. Goes like an absolute bullet, point and shoot stuff, and there's only ten cars officially sold here new! Comments welcome!

^^^^ Did you come in under minimum weight or something? That's what I call ballast! :P Cool car!

My EK9 (with 15 litres of 98RON fuel) weighs in at 865kgs. Bear in mind that is fully cut to bits with fuel cell, false floor made from aluminium, plastic windows, and no wiring save what is needed. The car has a full multi-point roll cage so some weight has gone back in too. There are...

I wouldn't run carbon doors unless I had a roll cage with proper side intrusion (like said above somewhere), and a PROPER weld in cage, not a bolt in job. In some countries you wouldn't be able to keep road legality without the OEM door bars inside the door, and they would have to be welded to...

Well its been a long time since the last update! Been busy at work, play, family, etc, and racing doesn't seem to have enough time these days! Since last time I was here I've done three race meets and besides starting slowly to try to get to grips with the car posted lap times consistently...

Ok lads here's a couple of pics from the race meet on the weekend, will post up a full photo essay soon! By timmiblc at 2011-05-30 By timmiblc at 2011-05-30

Cheers Gav. More pics will be up once the front bumper is on, should be early next week! I can't wait to see it either! It means that years of tinkering have finally come to an end, and maybe I can have a holiday instead of blowing my money on the car! Isn't that what cars are for though? ;)

Well more progress over the last little while - the car will be finished tomorrow, all that will be left to do is apply the livery and all will be done for now. Let's take a little look at the past couple of weeks though, through the prep work and the beginning of the painting, although I...

Heh seen the light Rik? The car is at GTRefinishers having the final step - a full re-spray inside and out. I spoke to the owner (Grant Walker) earlier today and I will have the car back by next weekend, so final pics not far away (until I decide to throw a K20 in there anyway!)! Not...

Thanks guys! :woot:

Well its been a while so thought some of you might want to see the progress... The car is now back in one piece and going, so I haven't updated this as much as I should have. I will try to fill in the blanks as best I can - there is a lot to get through! So anyway, on with the show...

Got lots of pics to show, will get them uploaded and post them soon - promise!!! Sorry, carbon dash not for sale, although I may be able to source you another.

Thanks Neil! I'm watching your build with interest too! I am competing in the 1600 class of Honda Cup. There are no power restrictions (how much power can you get from a B16b anyway) but weight restrictions are 900 kg (with driver) on DOT rated tyres (semi slick) and 930 kg on slicks (which...

Well here is part two! The wiring has been completely pulled out of the car in preparation for what I can only describe as "race" wiring. No fuse boxes, no front lights, and all the leftover wiring from when the aircon and heater box was pulled (and just tucked up out of the way) is gone...

Well this week has been a week of leaps and bounds - the guys are almost finished with the car! Therefore I will have to make this post in two parts! As it stands the rear diffuser is attached for good, the exhaust is plumbed and mounted and the fuel system is finished (but nothing less than...

Must feel good to be so far along Neil. I bet you'll agree the feeling was soooo good when it started first time after and engine swap :nice: You going to stop here or do you have more plans?
