cheers!
I think he said it was to get into the 1400cc class. The B series are a little bit bigger, certainly pushing him out of that class, meaning a bit more work to run with the others.
Is fine for daily rider, much better then standard one. But for a track use.. rubbish... you can go much better for few $$ more.
Any way.. there are my new wheels - Sparco NS2 Crimson Racing 15'' - 5,5kg each.
Just after I bought them:
And now, after 2 weeks of my hard work on them...
Car is looking great!
I was not here for a long time...
I was very busy...
I'm sorry...
Anyway I made some modifications at this time, here they are:
-Finished my DIY project - looong cold air intake pipe. The diameter inside is exactly what should be for my throttle, also internal surface is as smooth as possible and both bends has possible smooth and wide angles. Short photo story:
And there my final product:
- Get XTD clutch stage 3 for d16.
- Replaced bolt joints and bolts into stainless ones in my camber arms:
- Removed my gearbox and replaced bearings:
- Get STRONFLEX yellow engine mounts inserts - I have done some research... and as far I know that the stiffest polyurethane inserts on the market at the minute...
- New VMS adjustable cam pulley:
- New GATES RACING timing belt:
- Replaced my standard subframe and steering rack with DC2 type R one:
- New magnetic oil drain bolt, K&N oil filter, Lucas pure synthetic oil 5W-30:
- Few pics from progress:
- And some pics from Japfest:

Was missing for a long time... Long story short - F... brain dead woman cut my way on motorway on 30th of july last year and hit into front tire o my van... Crashed quite badly - head-one collision with barriers @ over 60mph and then rolling over few times... So I had a break with the project...
