      What for an RC or 1.1

      I agree, don't go anywhere near the stuff, one fast way to destroy all your hard work. The turbo conversion will make it fast enough.

      If rc no if 1:1 yes ;-D speed freak thiugh me lol

  4. get to build the engine up tomorrow :D big cheese on carnt start it for a few days though :( as the cam gears have got to turn up. working through the night tomorrow i think

      Out of interest have you planned out which insurer you will be going with, considering all the mods the car will have undertaken?

      14psi of boost 520cc injectors are only good for 400hpish at 55psi fuel rail pressure.

      What motor? 3 Bar is 45 psi give or take. 8 x 520cc is good for more, just depends on number of cylinders (and potentially the number of injectors your running per cylinder) right! :o)

    4. dlegend

      dlegend

      your right but the 3 bar sensor is beacause the stock map sensor can only read up to 11psi and im running a b18c4 vtec engine with forged internals with turbo @13-14psi (still building the engine) scroll to the bottom :)

  7. so my new wheels stick 1inch out of the arches :( poo fingers crossed rolling the arches will fit it

  8. yeaa the civics new shoes have arrived

      its a b18c4 in a ef civic(170hp stock) i am in the process of putting forged pistons rods reworked head and going turbo. i ask my insurance company how much it would go up a few months ago and they said they would not insure me. so i rang up again and the chap said it will cost

    3. dlegend

      dlegend

      @TrickyTris 60trim @10psi 300hp is easy to make even on the stock block which can handle 400hp then the pistons and rods become an issue after that 500hp+ the sleaves become the next weak factor

      Not really that surprised. Insurance is a numbers game - engine mods you can't see are an enthusiast thing, and they don't crash often or claim much. Lowering is a chav thing and they crash all the time with big bills.

  10. waiting for the postman to bring parcels if like a dog waiting to be fed. it carnt come sooner

      As stand alone films, they're ok; having the back story and extra drama from the books makes a big difference.

      In all honesty, not as much as you would hope. Most I see tend to go for between

      I say 150 tops they are nice draped in alloy but not really usable. Ive had 2 mervs over the year both cost me 100 with acouple of upgrades and the vxl models. Depends who's buying it tho. Mayb part it out for more ebay is giving everyone 40 free ads every month now.
