Coooool. nice and low plus the higher comp ratio.

[Lude-dude]

is dyno dynamics not the heartbreaker dyno?

I would take it on a another dyno for a bit of comparison. Who knows what the true comparison with the Blacktrax IM and ATR IM is? Without more info on your IM its hard to tell. It could be the only difference between that and the stock IM is the removal of the IAB's? Are you running a CAT? What diameter is the Mugen exhaust? I have heard that the Twinloop sacrifices a bit of flow rate for a much quieter noise

Must be nice with all that torque

LO

Nice Lude matey

Love the drop , but not sure i like how far the wheels have to be set-back to achieve it , i like a wider broken suspension look

I quess there's no way around that really unless you roll the arches

Here in Northern Ireland, we dont have many tuners. Most of them have never used Hondata S300 before, maybe because the whole drift thing is becoming more popular over here thanks to parts being widely available throughout the south of ireland. (i witnessed some f**king cool S14's)
The place i went to was possibly the best place i could have went to, they have a dyno whereas many others didnt. There are guys tuning cars from their sheds, but they mainly focus on Diesel cars.

Having it for nearly a week now, im really happy with the outcome. By looking at the graph you would think "awww thats pathetic" but actually driving it and feeling the power difference is totally different.

The exhaust diameter is 2.25" from the cat back.

All that torque is very fun Merlin

I'll be getting spacers on the front and back. Maybe about 5mm i think. Having it that low with the wheels tucked Doesnt cause any issues.

Thanks for the comments dudes!

Few more pictures of the lude

[K4MR411]

Over the summer i decided to underseal the lude. I stripped her all down, minus the side skirts.







Whilst removing rust from the arches, i spotted these holes in the rear just at the bottom.





I knew if their was rust on the outside, what condition would it have been on the inside. So i took a look...





The arches will be sorted before she's put back on the road. For temporary mesaures, i used a wee dremel machine to grind away any rust i could reach. Was kind of hard as there isnt much room to work with (pretty tight). It was pretty difficult to get a paint brush down to put a thick coat on so i just used the spray, few layers done the trick.
Few pics of before and after...













Im sure everyone knows but underseal is a real f#@ker to put on. i thought it was going to be body lemonade easy but i've been at it since November & i still havn't finished the underneath. I used 1 tin of Bilt-Hamber for the Arches alone so i'll use another for the bottom of the car. Also used the Bilt-Hamber spray for the hard to reach areas.



I had a look at a few recaros sets before purchasing these ones. Many of them had worn out Bolsters, with either rips of burns. These Recaros i got where from a DC2 ITR and they had pretty solid bolsters, no rips,tears or burn marks. They where kind of dirty but i'll get these professionally cleaned.
I set the recaros in the car for a tester and they look awesome IMO
Think i'll leave the back seats out as there is literally no leg room. The frame for the dc2 rails will be fabricated once i get the arches sorted.

Also took the time to wrap the housing within the lights in carbon fibre. I'm sure you've seen better but it was my first time wrapping something but i think it turned out well.





The bottom will be undersealed once i get more underseal spray from Bilt-Hamber labs. Can't wait to get it back together again, ready for a bit of fun in the summer.

Thanks for looking

Nice update.
Headlamps look good
Need some better pics of the recaros
