Had 120 out my old DX
they are quick! much quicker than the jap version (23L special edition)
my mate swears by the DX 1300 box , he has one in his 1500 vtec special edition EF1 , mad acceleration through 1st , 2nd , 3rd . 4th and 5th are more "cruising gears"
bit like fitting diesel gearboxes to the old xr2 /3's

Got myself a new headunit! I loved my Kenwood in the DX, so, i bought a new kenwood with iPod/iPhone Capabilities!
And fitted my old SPLX Sub/Amp box, isnt the best in the world, but then again im not an Audiophile after the best sound possible, just like a Thump!
Got some Updates friday to get it ready for Mimms!

thats a really nice looking car mate, got to say, your builds are always entertaining to me, you just dont stop with your creativity lol,
how come your running the carbs without the airbox? isnt that bad for the carbs/engine? i know it sounds good but wouldnt too much dirty get in then?

They sound good mainly
But with my previous wideband experiments, These carbs run VERY rich, so, ive taken all the air-Restriction away by removing the airbox
