Not tempted to go down the Bisimoto forged internals boosted 700bhp route? Haha.
Cheers dude. Hopefully make more in the future.

Tempted but don't have the funds for the Bisi route! So just Little VTEC Mini-Mini for now...

It'll still be awesome. How much power does the engine make at the moment? And how much are you hoping for from the VTEC Mini?

116bhp stock. Should see 130ish with the mini-me using the stock map.

A z6 with exhaust and intake, remapped will see 140bhp easy :)

You could with ease! Get a conversion harness for the Ecu. And it comes with a sub harness to control all the vtec elements the non vtec loom has. Just need the belt to match the head. New head gasket . And your away!

Just wondering if this is the correct Rywire wire so to speak: http://www.rywire.com/catalog/obd0-mpfi ... 03be37719a

Is there anywhere in the UK that stock them?

Little update. After finding a set of dream wheels earlier this year, I finally got the lips machined, replaced the wheel bolts, fitted the Falkens, gave them a quick polish then fitted them to the Wagon. Kinda sucked that it was at the end of the show season and it was pissing down at South Mimms. Had a good walk around but when the heavens opened it was time to go, it was a shame I didn't get to say 'Hi' to everyone but I did meet Athena and Giz on my travels.

After Mimms went to my local park and took some pictures:

And my favourite picture so far but it's a little out of focus.

SSR Mk3's 14x6.5 et19 with 185/60 r14 Falkens with 10mm spacers up front. For summer I'll look into getting them refurbished, althougth I'll probably do that myself and have some 25mm hubcentric spacers on the rear.

If anyone has any 25mm hubcentrics for sale or know where I can get a decent set please let me know.

Cheers!

So it finally happened. Endless Horizon MotorSport managed to find some time for the Shuttle! So in went the Z6 head along with a custom 2.5 inch bore exhaust.

I've never driven a VTEC before but from what it feels like... I love it. There's a few niggles - throttle cable is still a bit sticky, the exhaust has a slight rattle a clutch might be on its way out soon... but boy does it shift. Being AWD it just grips and holds so well. Daz at Endless also road mapped the P28 and even put launch control at 4000rpm for shits and giggles as well as pops and bangs! I also adore how it looks OEM, like it was always meant to be there!

I'll try and get some video footage up soon. Now I need some better brakes...
