Ah i see, hard decision. I'm soon to pick up a d16a9 with some head work, it has a mild port, head skim and 3 angle valve seats, and it made a dyno proven 150 bhp and 125ftlbs. So its worth while.

Nice, will be interested to hear that build. The D16A9 in mine pulls really hard and keeps up with some of those hondas with big red R's on them so i reckon im making good power, would be suprised with 150 though from mine, think its alot to do with the fact that it only weighs 860kgs!

Cheers Tom, appreciate the kind words from a past owner.

Im loving every minute of it, not a bad everyday car apart from the exhaust hitting some pretty high db's although under light load its ok. With the addition of the HID's and the new wipers its great.

It certainly keeps up with the misses ITR too :wink:

Let me know what you think..
