Im not going to Ricky basicly as Sparky had numerous problems with his car, i started speeking to Nick from Tuning Developments on facebook then rang and spoke to Mike and we had a good long chat, they seem decent guys and i think they tend to focus more on starlets than Racetech, im spending hell of a lot of money to get this done itl b a good few thousand as im having a custom head built now too plus cams and cruise valve springs and the last thing i want is to have problems so i suppose they have my vote of confidence lol fingers crossed, I've spoke to a few people anyway and nobody has had problems with them :-)

Bought a new civic rad as the one i have looks abit shabby, i may not be using this now anyway as i may get a full size one for better cooling.

Here she is waiting patiently in the garage until she goes to Tuning Developments on the 28th, to the right is a 2.5" mid section exhaust that i bought off a friend, just hope this will be ok and my car wont hit a wall during mapping :/

When i go up there im also going to discuss whether or not im going to run the new alloy civic rad that i bought as i may run a bigger one to be safe, also going to discuss whether or not i need vernier pulleys as a few people have mentioned to me whether or not im getting some but to be honest im no car expert! May also get a low temp thermostat but im going to ask them what they think is best.

Im also unsure about what boost to run yet as this is my everyday car and i want it to last me lol im thinkin between 1.4-1.5 bar :-) hoping to maybe hit the 350bhp mark too but we will see when she gets mapped after I've run her in for however many miles they tell me too :-)

I also purchased a TRD Diff and gearbox off Sparky to get the power down abit better than my OEM LSD.

Thanks for the comments

Hmm didn't realise TD did cams!

Defo worth getting an Alloy Civic rad for peace of mind on the cooling side, mine was brilliant for track temps, was well below 80c when I was on track (90c for the fan to kick in)

Lovely looking V mate. Was going to buy this myself off Saeed but imo I thought he was asking a bit too much money for it.

If u don't mind me asking what did u pay for it? Pm if u like

Looks like you are going to have one serious car there bud. Seeing threads like this makes me want to buy my 6th ep lmao!!
