had an awesome day at oulton park on Saturday, night and day difference as expected with the r888's was going at least 5mph/corner quicker than on the t1r road tyres from november! was a tad held up in the day as the last session before dinner as I came into the paddock I had epic squeaking...

after changing the spark plugs I was still getting an intermittent misfire, next step was to remove the cap and check the spark points for the rotor arm, safe to say they were full of corrosion so a scrape on the 3 points with a flat head and a clean with sandpaper it now runs better than ever...

ah wish I could've made this!

yeah it'll be mega, cant wait for oulton, 2 weeks Saturday!

fitted the Hardrace upper engine mount the other day as ive been meaning to for a while now, glad I finally could be bothered to do it as after removing the old/original mount its collapsed just like all the other mounts were - IMG_3937 by jamierig, on Flickr I don't understand why Honda...

yeah I was tbh but the velocity stack and cone filter combo's meant to be the best for bhp gains top end for intake wise with standard inlet, not bad for less than 90quid compared to mugen and tegiwa airboxes that cost like £350, yeah id go with 45bhp gain over standard don't forget this is a...

went back on the rollers yesterday to see what it had gained from the Japspeed manifold, de-cat, Mongoose exhaust, 3.5'' Velocity stack and Cone filter... was only expecting a 4-5bhp gain not 14bhp and 6lbs ft -

Cheers guys! Oulton park was awesome on Saturday, car was better than expected and I recon I was lapping the same time as I did in my old 175bhp 800kg fiesta on semi slicks so that made me happy! Done 175 track miles using 80quids worth of fuel. The engine's just awesome, brakes were...

ordered some 17mm bolt on hubcentric spacers 2 weeks ago for the fronts (may well get some for the fronts after oulton), they came yesterday so fitted them today after work, here's one fitted after me chopping 6mm off the studs, nice snug fit on the centre bore, tapped on slightly with a copper...

yah man of course! won a 6month old japspeed manifold on ebay - old one removed, theres a good 4-5kgs in weight difference - new fitted - best part of the manifold is the shield/guard - ...the main reason why I wanted this as all the 4-1 manifolds ive seen for sale are damaged...

I ordered a baffle kit from tegiwa Saturday along with new sump gasket, exhaust manifold gasket and a stud kit just incase I have trouble removing it, theres mixed opinions for baffled sumps on these but I don't fancy paying over a grand for another engine + the faff of changing it so thought...

so, driverside new vs old torque mounts - old passenger side one - new, lined up - I thought 'wtf' at the centre hole as to why its so large and theres no insert of any sort, spoken to the guy at the breakers who ive got afew parts from and he undone afew old mounts whilst on the phone...

all ive done is change the oil and filter which is the same with any car, ive notta clue how much a cambelt kit costs and hopefully i'll never need to know as this was replaced in april so in my ownership it wont need doing unless the engine fails taking one on track without an oil cooler you...

in afew years maybe it aint going anywhere soon haha loving the drive/feel of them, car feels so much tighter and not that much stiffer and ive not tried them off soft yet treated some of the surface rust underneath with attacking it with a wirebrush and painting some hammerite...
