its all about the B90P :D

looks great. only thing im not keen on is the alloys in the second pic. other than that its a great looking motor :)
 
cheers dude. The wheels don't really look like that. Just the fact they spinning in the photo makes them look a bit odd.
 
Sounds like a weapon! Nice spec dude, How did you find the N1 crank pulley when you installed it? Any noticeable difference?

Nice :drive:

219.5bhp / 140.7lb.ft (recorded at PowerStation 07/11/2009) :nerv:
 
car looks well :nice:

how do you rate the HSD coilovers?
 
Cheers all. Don't take too much notice of the power figure as RRs always seem a bit high. As a reference, a friend with a near standard jdm 98spec got 216bhp and 131lb.ft.

@Jimbo, couldn't tell you sorry. I fitted the pulley at the same time as the engine swap so I got nothing to compare it against. It's is LOADS lighter though so must make a reasonable difference. Having no PAS is an acquired taste though.

@sammyb, first two pics at Anglesey and the last one is Castle Combe.

@aRc, I like them. Had them fitted for a over a year now and have had a fair bit of abuse at different circuits and I've not had an issues with them.
 
Thanks Andy. Nothing planned, just continue to abuse it and fix/replace/upgrade whatever parts break :D
You going to any HOT trackdays next year? Be nice to see you going in the new motor.
 
sweet car man, cant wait to do some track days in my car next year.
 
i was at snetters with you with hot earlya in the year. this car is pretty rapid and you have some top skills! :))
 
Hi Matt. You were on your first trackday if I remember correctly? Been to anymore since?

Yeah, I will be going to Snetterton hopefully. Just looking to get better tyres now. :naughty:
 
Couple of updates :)....

I stripped the front fogs since the pics on the first page. In trying to put the holes to some sort of use I thought of running brake ducts. I'd personally not recommend doing it as it's not really possible to run the ducting without some major sharp bends in it. But still looks better than som empty holes i guess.

The holes for the fogs are about 90mm diameter (although slightly oval) so I got hold of some 93mm alloy inlet funnels and fixed them to the pods with a mass of Tigerseal. To fix the ducting to funnels to I bought some large diameter heatshrink which holds it pretty well.


and the finished result...

Finally got round to getting some footplates for my cage welded in. And whilst the seats were out I took the opportunity to chip out as much sound proofing as I could bare without throwing a hammer through the windscreen :angry2: Just left with a small bit in the passenger footwell and under my driverside seat rails.
