I started getting in to track days in the summer of 2010. I was using my 5th gen but soon realised that it puts a lot of strain on the car and didnt want to do that to my daily driver. In October 2010 I picked up a cheap BB4 SI VTEC:
The car came with an original Spoon Sports ECU, Fujitsubo manifold, Spoon Sports rear strut brace, and a massive fart can exhaust. However I didnt notice during the viewing that the engine had been swapped to a UK H22a2
The H22a2 doesnt have (or didnt have one installed during the engine swap) a knock sensor, so that was throwing a CEL.
First thing I did to the car was change the exhaust over, it was a horrible noise. I picked up a cheap JapSpeed 2.5" cat back and Decat and slung it on. When going to install it I noted part of the old cat back was still there, at one time the car had a full Fujitsubo exhaust
. What was on the car looked to be some home made exhaust:
I weighed the car before I did anything major to the car, it weighed 1250KG with a full tank of fuel.
Now that the exhaust was "sorted" I had to get it on the dyno to see what power I was getting. With the resonator recently removed, plus the new exhaust, the car made 199.0 BHP Not bad IMO when the H22a2 should be 183 BHP.

Specs at the time of the dyno:
Engine / transmission:
UKDM H22a2
Spoon Sports JDM P13 ECU - VTEC @ 5K (no limiter)
NGK Platinum spark plugs
Amsoil synthetic manual gearbox fluid
HAMP oil filter
Petronas Selenia 5W-40 ACEA "C3" oil
K&N Flat panel filter with resonator removed
Fujitsubo exhaust manifold
2.4" SS Japspeed decat
2.4" straight through SS Japspeed exhaust
Most of the interior was taken out, a job that is still continuing now, the dash will come out eventually.

Roof
Front of the car
It needed new front lower ball joints and new shocks as the old ones were blown. Suspension has always been the issue with this car, basically its always been jobby.

Other little bits were done to the car by this point, all the air con was removed, braided clutch hose, new rad, Hawk HP+ brake pads, RainSport 2 tyres and Michelin full slicks.
Then in may this year I had the 4G at a track day and snapped two fron t wheel studs while changing a wheel
and its been laided up ever since.
