All I want is to drive my 5
Yeah, Im sure you've made it stronger. I was replying more so to the questions regarding how much stronger (or not) the JC is.
Cheers mark
Ive had plenty of time to get it like this its taken me nearly three and a half years
Im not having a dig,Im sure there are plenty of better boxes but after spending money on the JB3 I will run it until it lets go as Im not made of money
Neither am I mate which is why I bought a 2nd hand volkswaggen gearbox and fitted it myself. its cost me about 500.00 all in and a bit of graft making it fit. I'm sure yours will work fine also, just a different way of tacking the same problemIm sure there are plenty of better boxes but after spending money on the JB3 I will run it until it lets go as Im not made of money
That could be on it's first use!!I will run it until it lets go as Im not made of money
People with only 250bhp ish sometimes eat though a few of them a year or season.
You're evidently expecting a LOT more power then that.
Exactly how i feel every day at work
Civics need them more so IMO as they dont have tripod style bones like 5s do, but hay the stiffer the betterTraction bars if they work on civics in the states might be worth a try
Ps loving this project, keep up the work....
And where would I get these items?
meca parts, jacquemin tuning, salv sacco
Ah found em, think I'll pass, 1500euros for pistons and liners, damn you pound for being so fecking weak

apparently very selective who he helps these days. i think he is trying to spend more time relaxing these days? (i dont blame him)
I did just buy some more pistons and liners from sal a week ago for a mates 5, he still sells parts but does not build engines.
Did i see this car in Andy Robinson's chassis shop having the cage fitted??
If so i was the one that sold you the carbon nitrous bottle!
No I got the bottle from my mate, he never used it he run's a 924 at santa pod.
The yellow porsche SCOFF wasted at pod
I didnt think your car sounded to heathly at the end of the day
I sold it to that guy at essex. Funny how parts get around. he he
yep he got it for me from Arena Essex at a V8 swap meet. Got a wicked bracket from the states for it. What nitrous kit are you using ? and how much are you spraying ?
Didn,t see your car thereI didnt think your car sounded to heathly at the end of the day
Didn,t see your car there
I wouldn't of gone in somthing that looked and sounded like somthing off scrapheap challenge

Thanks
I do think Ive seen your car at national day at Bruntingthrope many years ago.
Got my ECU today the mapper Im using suggested Solaris S6 http://www.solaris-ecs.com/s6gp.php Its being used on 14 Time attack cars this year and was used on Zen performance scooby.
Also got my dash/data logger
I'am after abit of advice on what sort of hall sensor to run in the distributor.This is so I can run sequential fuel injection anyone ever done this??
I modified the housing and used an old luminition optical trigger
Just had a quick look on the Lumenition web site, Have you got to buy the kit with the bottle style coil?
http://www.lumenition.com/new/main.php/optron/
Picked up some parts today
the spending not slowing down then
re the luminition, it was just some bits I had lying around in the shed, you only need the optical sensor bit, not any of the electronic bits. I machined my own 'chopper' - a disk with a mounting flange, and a bit cut out to make the sensor work.
I've just got to get this car running for the summer to see what it can do. I did find a fabricator to make a manifold,rad and intercooler,The work he has done is out of this world..the spending not slowing down then

Me Wilson Proflow nitrous parts got delivered today
My new injectors from the states came today
1000cc, be interesting to know how many times the mapper swears while trying to tune the bottom half of your map
Ive been told mapping these injectors is not that bad.....
http://blog.evans-tuning.com/2009/01...ctory-special/
mmmm injector dynamics eh, well loved they are in the honda world, the only 8sec street honda runs those, but 8 of them.
should be fine mapping those, from what ive read they have a very fast recovery rate, the tuners love em`
A few of my mates are using them on K20's with turbo's and said they been easy to map and have had no idling probs
i know people on 1600cc with no issues.
in fact we will prob be using them within 12 months, were on 750`s now
and at 80% cycle, then again, were cheap prob just bump fuel pressure lol
I got them off James at IPG

Nice meeting you at the main event.
Your car is going to be stunning.
Cheers fella,was good to talk, will look out for you next time...
Finally got my billet bottle bracket
H i mate car looks awsome ( you get paid too much loi )
is the fuel tank in the rear road legal only i thought it had to be in a seperate compartment to the driver ?
Dan
Did check with MOT, and as long as there is a breather out side and there are no leaks its ok,no need for bulk head.
