latest update.

- Fri Apr 04, 2014 7:06 pm #344105 So, All the coils are on, ive just received my clutch kit (Excedy) as its slipping and the next purchase is the UKDM Accord type r U2Q7 gearbox and maybe a F1 Racing Fly.

(BTW - i bought the prelude box and its set in my garage but with the rain... I NEED A LSD!)

Ratios are as follows.

3.285 - 2.090 - 1.481 - 1.071 - 0.870 - 4.266 LSD

The box has a OEM LSD and should be more cost effective when comparing to MFactory and KAZZ Helical Torsen style diffs. When this is on going, ill be sorting the drive shaft bind. Ill get that to the engineers and have 25mm taken off.

Got myself a new downpipe to replace the currently blowing one for £54.

Got a set of EM1 Wheels (Got 5 of these and 3 S*** tires for £78 ) - going 195/50R15 W Potenza RE002 for £44/Tyre (UK version of the RE11.. but their not as sticky ive heard..) ill try em.. if not then AD08R will be the evolution..

I still haven't refurbed the other 6 spoke oem 15's.

I've got myself a UKDM P13 for £30 to get rid of the speed limiter, Ill need a Spoon chip in my JDM P13 then for the 8.5k limiter, speed limiter removal and lower VTEC engagement in the near future.

Who can do this for me in the UK? or can someone supply it and if so how hard is it to DIY?

Once all the above is fitted ill give it a service, oil, filter, plugs and give the HKS a vacuum.

Fiberglass boot lid is still needing a good refurb and fitment with the JDM tail light conversion to help with the weight. possibly the next item after the box.

Did i mention ive deleted the SRS, Power steering and Arial stuff? i don't know..

I've also got a UKDM Accord type r gear selector (Plastic - lighter) and better to hide under the original console, but a little longer throws compared to the DIY job on the prelude shifter.

I am still to weigh the car after the H22A install but im sure it will be a good weight. The spare, tools and everything in the boot is out and removed.

I've also got to do the front discs and pads and a Fluid change for the track day my dads got me in may! so all the above will need to be done by then. Ill try to remember to take images.

Im sure their's more but i cant remember....

Anyway i know what i am doing next after these items...

Weight
Ill be replacing the DC2 front lower subframe brace with a aluminium one,
The rear wiper and motor on the screen wash bottle will be deleted fully as its sicced to work.
Ill possibly be going for a smaller screen wash bottle 1.8L single motor and coupling this with the jazz mist washer jets (Fit if your in the US/Japan)
Battery size will be reduced (Saving 6kg)
Fiberglass bonnet, Lexan rear 3 windows, Bucket Seats on super-low rails (Preferably Bride as they are very light and comfortable)
Plastic JDM headlights - If i can find them...
Brake shields will be removed...

Chassis
Brembo Discs,
Ferodo DS2500 pads,
DC2/DC5/EK9 Brake master cylinder - 1" Nissin,
Tegiwa Master cylinder stopper,
Braided lines,
OBX short shifter,
S2k Clutch master cylinder,
Ingals camber kit maybe?
I would like to fit Saxo / 106 Electric Power steering pump on a switch with a steering quickener 1.5:1 ratio to get a 2 turn lock to lock rack... hmmm

Engine (I Want 230-240 WHP) - Balance shaft disengage already done.
OEM Manifold & Downpipe modified to a 2.5" collector matched to a De-Cat and Cat back @ 2.5"
80mm CAI, HKS Superflow, 70mm Throttle body, (Coolant bypass) Gutted JDM Intake Mani and a Thermal intake gasket.
Port match & Polish - Mild
Skunk 2 Tuner Stage 2 cams (Not planing on changing the valve train.. its been done many times before...)
This coupled with the spoon Chipped JDM P13 - Not ideal i know but again this has been run so many times and has been proven as the safest chip about mapping wise...

Interior
JDM center console & Arm rest inc 1din cupholders,
Tailored mat set,
Momo 320mm wheel and quick release,

Exterior
Bumpers pair, SiR lip and side repeaters to go with the tailgate and tail lights.
Import size from reg
Silver calipers, disc centers and rear silencer (Keep em looking new)
Refurb some wheels and get some new OEM wheel nuts!

Then hopefully a respray.. and ill be happy... for a while...

More to come and hopefully some images sooner rather than later...

See you all soon...

Still to fit the rear roll bar BTW but you can see the most up to date progress and my next post will be of the new items collected and possibly fitted.

Spring rates Rear-Front

Old vs New

Fitted

These quickly got under-sealed... I don't like bling.. function is my thing!

Stance pic
Image

Not too much or too little arch gap.. I like corners!

Both cars are the same age here... Toyota Vs Honda (Honda towing the Toyota to the scrap yard!)
(Pic was taken just before rear got coils. judging by the height) I know i brought the front down when i got all four coilovers on.

Image

Nothing more to report for now, until i get the additional items photo-ed up and put of the car! Should be soon!

Hi Teal! its good, i don't think its too harsh, the shocks are very linear in their bound and rebound and can be set pretty soft when needed.. My Girl friend would disagree saying she needs a sports bra on while i pass over the speed bumps that we have plenty of.. But when your on the main roads with no speed bumps they are more than comfortable for daily driving.

I choose them because of their positive results in time attack in the uk and because they weren't too low for the bumps.. They had a fancy graph or two showing the linear bound to rebound and from driving on them you can really tell they are a quality product!

I really can't say anything bad about them.. I've driven cars with both lowering springs and coilovers, some which were beyond hard and bounced around to those that were just to lower the car and these are in another league to everything I've felt before.
