Brakes look mega under the fat fives. Tyres aint bad either

The tyres are really good, very very good grip even in the damp

My not so good rear tyres can't keep grip enouth, I can feel the rear end sliding the whole way around roundabouts (kind of a drift!) if I am really pushing it.

A few more vids

External shot, you can hear my loose baffles, will be nice when I get a new exhaust.

Add on about 0.5 on the 60 and about 1 on the 100 and thats about right

I can get 5.5 with a proper launch though

Be very careful Ian, this weather will make you regret it.

It sounds like a deja vu, because I also had some crappy tyres on the back and some brand newish Eagle F1's on the front.

Yes be careful, it would be a shame to ruin such a super civic.

This weather is not good for old civics

Don't worry I am being carefull, very carefull, and I really don't drive fast very much, at least not on the road, and if so only when conditions are ok, so not when there is a chance there could be ice.

The rear tyres slip very controlably, when you push them to thier limits, they slip, but not in a snap, its very gradual.

Thats one good thing about cars like these, the driver can feel everything through the car, a lot more so than modern cars.

is that 50mph in 1st gear?

holly crap thats fast amazing crazy god the noise sounds like a wepon of mass destruction.

Thanks

Yeah, I need shorter Ratios, I don't really care about top speed, who cares if it can do 150 something, I'm never going to do that, so I'd rather have quicker acceleration, although I don't want to be like an ITR either, they are at something like 4500RPM at 70MPH in 5th.

I like the sound too but it did sound better before my baffles came loose (from a dent in the bottom of the backbox I think, bloomin speedramp oir something

)

Its pretty quick, but not quick enouth yet imo. By the end of the summer I hope to have her a good bit quicker
