cheers guys.

yep its got a little snail tucked under the hood. nothing crazy just a low blow setup on a stock d16. ive chipped and wired up the ecu for data logging. also prelude injectors and a fuel pressure regulator. should be fun!

cant wait to get this on the road and see what its like!

to give you an idea of how much the wheel stick out by :twisted:
going to need to find some big arches!
