Unfortunately its one of those projects that's worth more in parts than a complete car! Another issue is that the engine installation still needed a bit of work to get absolutely factory perfect and I couldn't expect somebody to do it!

On the plus side I made some gains at the 1/4 mile, unfortunately not on time but top speed.

Original:

13.9 @ 101mph.

second attempt:

14.2 @ 114mph

The 2nd time I went with 99ron fuel (instead of 95), 245/45 tyres (Larger RR) & an MFactory Helical LSD.

I was still suffering massive wheel spin through 1st and 2nd but this time, with the LSD, I think both wheels we're able to spin rather than the one! It also seemed apparent the tyres were worse than my Parada Spec 2's...

I was pretty pleased as I was the 2nd quickest trapping Honda of the day, also trapping quicker than some of the 11 second Scooby's of the day! Obviously not quicker off the line but its nice to know you'd have em on a roll!

This build is actually sick! I wanna do this so bad!

You still got those engine mounts for sale?
Also any advice? I'm thinking turbo instead of super, what do you think?

Mad respect to all the work that's gone into this build - I mean it's off the charts
