Been to santa pod and been to racewars
well i brought a short shifter for the car... no pics as well lets face it theres not much to see, its made a massive differance to the gears its great!!
heres a few pics of a cleaning session before racewars and my mates micra!
he has an RB5 scooby but this is his run about lol 4-1 manifold a decat and no back box, coilovers etc fully stripped haha right lil beast
and a few pics from MFN
RACEWARS
first of a few pics taken from various people from racewars!!
next of some mods!:
yep.......
changed my inlet manifold from my stock one to an rbc with should free of a few more ponys
it took a fair bit of pursuading with an angle grinder to fit as it is a few inches longer as you can see from the before and after pics below
i wanted this to be done before racewars but couldnt get it mapped in time and its not wise to bounce of 9000 rpm when its running lean haha
Just getting started removing the fuel rail and the throttle body ready to remove the inlet manifold!
Inlet manifold off! time to get the butchery equipment out! i first of all roughly measured up the new inlet and began cutting with my hack saw haha and then bent and hammered the slam panel to shape ( pikey ftw! chris has pics of this!) after getting it to fit i then used grips to bend the slam panal back up so the smashed up bit was on top of the new inlet, i couldnt get angle grinder till next day so i couldnt do it properly at first so had to make do haha, after it was all in and working we hammered the slam panel down so the bonnet would fit and then moved the bonnet catch as id destroyed half the bits it bolted to haha,
the next day i got the angle grinder out and cut it to shape properly and it looks pretty neat now. just need some black rubber/foam to go around the edge to finish it off, its not sharp or jagged now its just silver and looks non oem haha when iv finished it to the un trained eye it should look like its not been changed
the old inlet and the huge brackets that were a pain and a half to get of!
nice new one and my new thermal gasket! new one doesnt need brackets yet its alot bigger haha ( weigh saving ftw)
before : you can see the tiny inlet manifold has a gap between it and the slam panel:
after: no gap and over 2inchs cut away
TDI North
Set of at 7 am very very tired and in much need of sleep but with the car running massivly lean due to the bigger inlet i wanted to take it steady so the drive took a while haha.
Got there just before the guys who work there, the car got strapped straight on and the mapping begun! It was errr stupidly loud haha so loud the video i took actualy distorted and all you can hear is noise... which is to be expected as the car was doing over a tonn haha
first few figures i saw were a bit disturbing... 160-170....
I later realised he had dropped the rev limit to 5k 6k etc as paul worked his way up the rev range :/ was rather worried
a good few hours later (1pm) and just over 1/4 of a tank of fuel later the numbers rose to 245 250 much more like it
settling on 244 on the last run as the temps were getting rather high haha the car had been running for 5 hours straight
So rather happy with the result ill have to run it when the car is a bit cooler haha
240 is good enough for me! the car has changed massivly the vtec is alot lower and comes on stronger, more mid range torque aswell which always helps in a honda!
Graph will be uploaded later!
also this was there 450 bhp
O and i also fitted prefacelift rear lights to get rid of the lexarse
Random.assorted pics
ripped more of the interior out and fitted harness and tacho

SANTA POD 26/5/12 RWYB
i went to santa pod today waiting on videos to upload atm
was fairly busy and i now look like a lobster but was a good day
managed to run a 13.7 @103 mph so very happy with it i reckon i could of done a 13.6 but the day was very very hot and didnt wanna keep pushing the car incase it decided to not want to get me home and the long ques put me of so i sat and watched the strip for the last 2 hours
last time i went i got a 14.1 with a dodgy clutch so the clutch and fly has made a great differance
just need an LSD Final Drive and some semi slicks and ill be getting low 13s
i think thats everything
so went to pod instead :p
