So the time has come to sell my Lude
going to miss it but hoping to move on to a new project 
.My build thread is here for anyone who is interested: http://www.ludegeneration.co.uk/profile ... t2917.html
The car at the moment is back with standard engine internals on low boost as the forged engine I got, had really bad piston slap,which is why I got it cheap, and after a few years it staring scoring up the boars, good news was that there was absolutely no sign of det or melted ring lands.
Anyway the car has been on this engine how for six months and all is good with that and the car is producing 256BHP and 210ft/lb of torque. Drives really well seriously fast.
The Info/spec of the car is below.
Mileage 132,471 on the clock (actual mileage is less as car was originally shown in Kilometres and changed on import)
Tax April 2014
MOT April 2014
I brought this car over 6 years ago and have done a lot of work on the car during that time.
The car is an SIR so came with all the toys from Japan. This one has nearly all the JDM options available including: JDM body front lip, rear lip, side skirts and spoiler, RARE digital touch screen climate control, Honda Navigation (fully working, but will only navigate in Japan), red leather interior (looks superb), Honda Access front and rear floor mats, cup holder, drivers coin holder, parking pole (not operational), JDM foglights, OEM front strut base. It also has Honda Access suspension (made by Showa for Honda) with uprated dampers and springs for a more precise drive and lowers the car by 25mm.
The car was imported as an automatic and I converted the car to manual in 2009 and installed a custom machined lighted flywheel (around 5kg).
The car was turbo charged in October 2010 and consists of the following:
Turbonetics T3/T4 turbo (this is not a cheep ebay turbo)
Tubonectics external wastegate 38mm (0.5bar spring)
Threadstone cast manifold
Vecco Intercooler (front mounted while keeping front fog lights)
DSM 450cc injectors
Walbro 255 fuel pump
Apexi Air filter
Emagange Blue Piggy back ECU mapped by Fusion Motorsport at 0.5bar
Apexi AVCR-Boost Controller & boost gauge
EGT gauge
Excedy OEM Clutch
2.5” down pipe with waste gate re-circulated
2.5” Custom Stainless Steel Exhaust with de cat and re-flanged cat to fit in 2.5” exhaust for MOT.
Engine Internals Standard H22a2
In addition to the above the car has a set of Lenso DR-1 17” Alloy wheels with Nankang NS2 types with good tread all round.
The front breaks have been upgraded to Accord Type R 300mm disks and twin pot callipers and EBC RedStuff pads, there is plenty of stop with this set-up.
The front end has been fully polybushed with Lower/Upper Control Arms, Front Tie Bar and Anti-roll bar. The rear has also polybushed anti-roll bar.
I.C.E
Head unit with CD/DVD player and mp3 via USB or internal SD slot with remote control. DVD can be displayed on Honda Navigation screen. Also Honda acoustic feedback speakers in the rear.
Bad bits:
As you would expect for a car of it's age there are a few marks and bits of paint that could do with attention, most notably a small rust spot around the boot key.
The car is registered as a CAT C write off. This was before my ownership so I cannot say for sure what the damage was but I can confirm that the repairs where to a high standard. There is no suspect welding that I have noticed (and I have had the car stripped down a number of times when doing all the above work). I think it was more then likely bumper damage and maybe wing damage which have been completely replaced and repaired.
The car is priced at £2790.00. There is loads more to say than can be listed here viewing highly recommended.

given all the major work done to it, I have to say that my favourite bit is the alloys though, they just suit the car so well and look absolute sex... 
I'm a sucker for the red coachline on them.
). But had that car nearly 7 years now crazy, so time for a new project. Still not 100% what that will be yet but without a doubt it will be 100% jap though
