Hi all,
After spending a huge amount of money on this car and finally getting it to where I wanted it and running 110% I am thinking of selling it to buy back one of my old cars that I sold to my mate which to be honest I have regretted selling ever since I handed the keys over to him.
I love this car and it is savage for what it is, a real fire cracker! but in all honesty I did love my old car more, so I don't want the chance of owning it once again to pass me.
So here goes!
Engine-
- Blueprinted B16B Type R engine, high comperssion pistons, aggressive cams, ported and polished gas flowed head
- Short ratio gearbox with uprated Vicious LSD (puts the power down extremely well with no fuss. Ek9's usually run Helical LSD's)
- Exedy Stage 2 organic clutch
- Integra Type R flywheel
- Skunk2 Stainless Steel racing valves
- Uprated ARP headstuds
- 440cc injectors
- Walbro 255 uprated fuel pump
- AEM 3.5 bar map sensor
- Yashio factory uprated radiator with 1.35 bar cap
- Bespoke custom made blue anodised air con rad stay, radiator stay, and expansion bottle holder
- Uprated HAMP oil filter
- New headgasket, cambelt, aux belts, NGK spark plugs, filters and fluids. Running on Silkolene Pro S 5-40w fully synthetic
- C's Compressor supercharger (fitted in japan) running just 5 psi boost pressure (sounds like a jet engine, its mad!)
- KnN induction kit
- NGK blue power cables
- New Distributor
- Fujisubo 4-2-1 2 piece manifold
- DC Sports 2.5" de-cat pipe
- Fujitsubo RM01A 2.5" cat back exhaust system
- DTA S40 PRO standalone engine management mapped by Torque Develeopments International (TDi) producing 230 bhp (180 at the wheels) Standard figures are 185 bhp, and 135 at the wheels. (Dyno print outs to prove)
Chassis-
- Tein Super Street fully adjustable coilovers, both ride height and damper adjustable, professionally set up geometery
- Front upper strut brace
- Cusco front lower brace
- Cusco rear lower brace
- Seam welded chassis
- Thicker front and rear anti-roll bars
- NSX brake calipers
- Spoon sports grooved front discs
- Original EK9 Enkei lightweight alloys with Yokohama Parada Spec 2 tyres
Exterior-
- Litetuned carbon bonnet
- Spoon Sports carbon rear spoiler
- 6000k HID bi-xenon headlight conversion
- Genuine factory fitted rear tinted glass windows (as in the glass itself is tinted)
- Front and rear lower lips
Interior-
- Red Recaro bucket type seats, (bought a new set, so clean and solid bolsters on both seats)
- Red genuine EK9 mats (very rare to have)
- Red carpet
- Passenger airbag
- Momo Race 320mm steering wheel
- C's ultra rare fully adjustable short shifter
- Genuine EK9 solid titanium gear knob (again very rare to have)
- C's brushed alloy gear surround plate
- Alpine touch sensitive cd head unit
- AEM digital wideband Air/Fuel ratio gauge mounted to steering surround
Security-
- Clifford cat 1 G5 concept 650 mk2 (with certificate)
Since november I have spend thousands on the car, from modifications, servicing, fault finding, and general repairs etc.
- Pair of mint red recaro's = £400 (The car had a fixed bucket seat in it when imported)
- Lite Tuned carbon bonnet = £300
- Genuine Spoon Sports carbon spoiler = £200
- Fujitsubo exhaust system = £500
- Mase remap on ecu when I first bought the car = £650
- New Distributor = £200
- New dizzy cap and rotor arm = £25
- New NGK spark plug leads = £45
- New crank sensor = £37
- New ECU multiplug = £25
- Genuine Honda parts inc -
Cambelt
Head gasket
Radiator thermostat
Power steering belt
Alternator belt
Air con belt
Genuine Honda radiator pre-mixed coolant = £181
- Silkolene Pro S fully snthetic oil with HAMP oil filter = £50
- Labour to fit above genuine Honda parts = £250 (all fitted on 17/1/09)
- TDi bill for fault diagnostics = £460
- TDi bill for all work carried out to fix several faults and remap new ecu = £938
TOTALLING TO - £4,261
I have several big reciepts for the car and all import paperwork, including mileage certificate when the car was imported and converted to mph.
The car was imported in january 2008 and had the speedo converted in february 2008, mileage reading was 74,754 klms, and its now showing 82,500 on the clock, so actually current mileage is only 54,500 miles!
MOT is until 30th October 2009, and tax is valid until end of march.
I am in two minds whether to sell the car or not as it really is something special now, TDi have done an absolute awesome job of the car and have mapped it very very smooth indeed, by far the best map that the car has had. It is now very fast and produces an addictive sound track, the loud high pitch whine of the supercharger and the lovable sound of vtec kicking in through the exhaust, which has now been lowered to 5000 rpm. TDi commented on how much of a strong and extremely flat torque curve the car now has as it produces the same amount of torque at 8700 rpm as it does at 4000 rpm!! They ahve never seen anything like it, and were quite frankly astonished at how quick and powerful it is at only 5 psi! The charger itself is capable of flowing 10 psi, but to be honest 10 psi is the maximum for any stock Honda engine, so I did not want to take any risks and didn't want to loose the world reknowned Honda reliability, so 5 psi is well well within the engine's limits and can be enjoyed just as much as a stock EK9 at the limits without any worry.
The only 'bad' point, (if you could cal it that) is both the front and rear bumpers could do with a respray to make the bodywork 100% as they have the odd scuff marks, but nothing major, just a simple blow over will be fine as no damage on them.
I think I have gone on enough now so if you are genuinely interested please contact me.
Test drives will only be available upon proof of insurance cover, otherwise it will be passenger ride only.
Price is £6950 and firm, so please no offers.
Thanks for looking!
