I've already lowered it 1 inch, I changed my springs to Eibach and I recomend. The handling is good but my next step will be a Kony yelow

Yes, the race track is here in Rio. It's named "Nelson Piquet Race Track".

The problem here in Brazil is that the import taxes are huge, 70% of the total price with transportation included, so if you want to by something that's expencive and heavy your final cost will be enormous.

There are very few EKs here, realy hard to find one on the street. The 96 octane gas here, with 25% of alcohol, is 3.00 Reais a litre. It's +/- USD 8.00 for 1 gallon.

No the EK9 was not imported here, only a few VTI during the 90s.

In Brazil, only in the early 90s that we were aloud to import cars, before them only cars made in Brazil. Since them most part of the imports were made by the factories that were already here, and for some reason Honda never tried to sell a 9. Of course that now you can import by your own but without the suport of the factory is very hard to find surplus pieces and to make the rotine maintenance.

Question, the European Ek4 has got 160 bhp, how do you gain a increase with 45 bhp with those specs?!

My engine is a B16a2 with 160bhp from factory, like in Europe. I listed my sepcs and showed my dynosheet, that's the "how". I think that your question should be "why", but for that I don't have an answer. Every time that you free your flow in a N/A engine your HP figures will incrise, but why it's 45bhp but not 20bhp or 60bhp I really don't know.

i guess these mods make the diff...

Buddy Club spec. 3+ cams
Buddy Club cam gears.
310cc RC injectors.

@ ist i thought it was a massive increase for a B16A too...
