K20a ALL MOTOR CIVIC

[G AE82]

Well the time has come to step up. We've just bought a K20a half cut to put into our 85 civic. Our best time with the B16a is 13.42 and best mph was 103 with 100kw at the wheels. With this engine we are looking for 140kw atw with intake, exhaust and K-PRO. With this car we won the first sports compact round at Jamboree in ALL MOTOR. Hopefully we can get the car ready for the second round at WSID. Updates as we have them
:thumbsup:

[Kenshin3180]

Can I ask how much you paid for the half cut and where you got it from?

[michael_antoi]

awesome man, show us some pics of any progress....

[MrPlow]

OH ****! This is going to be good....

You deserve to run some good times...

[Lukezen27]

Can I ask how much you paid for the half cut and where you got it from?

Holy Cow :p

Can we know or is it Top secret?

[**Ghost**]

can i ask what does ur 1985 civic weigh approxiamately? and is that time on slicks or street tyres? cheers

[G AE82]

the half cut cost 8400 without brakes/suspension from Jap Connections

ghost: the car wieghts 780kg with driver (75kg) in race trim and the
13.4 was done with 225/45/14 BFGoodrich Drag T/A's (street tyres)

Want to post up picks but it pops up saying I don't have engough quota when I try to attatch an image :confused:

[Paul1985]

u can goto http://photobucket.com
U can have your pics hosted for free on there.. then u just use the image link in here

but anyway, good luck with it. do u have mounts, axles, fuel setup etc yet?

[G AE82]

thanks paul1985....Still haven't taken delivery of the half cut.. Will need to fabricate custom engine mounts and want to get billet axles.

Current fuel system on our civic should be adequate but will need to buy an aftermarket fuel rail (any sugestions?). Just getting parts together in the next couple of weeks.

Heres a pic of what we bought

[kayot1k]

:!: Fark :!:

:thumbsup:

[Paul1985]

everyone in the US seems to be using golden eagle and/AEM fuel setups (rail, lines and FPR)

If u need parts for this project, i suggest PM'ing EG5 or check out his trader section on here under "JDM Yard", he is a trader and may very well be able to source u K-series parts.

You could probably get mounts imported so u dont have to have custom ones made up, there are also a few sets of axles already made for this setup u can buy from hybrid-racing and hasport (and a few other companies i think)... try www.hybrid-racing.com and www.hasport.com .. also be sure to check out www.k20a.org all the info u will ever need for this swap will be on that forum.

Best of luck dude :thumbsup:
good to see there are more people in Aust giving the K a go.

[J-MuN]

Wow. Can't wait to see the results. Gonna be a bit of a beast. Do you have any pics of your 84 Civic?

[|N|]

shiets.... cant wait to see it man

[G AE82]

Paul1985: yeah checked out hasport.. unfortunately they don't support my model car (only the 1988-91 civic/CRX), but that won't stop me from copying their engine mount designs ;)

Heres a pic of the car in question

[Paul1985]

very nice, that thing would f%^&ing fly. great project, im very interested in seeing how u go, be sure to keep us posted. i recomend checking out this site.. http://www.karcepts.com/
his company sells shifter mounting kits, which is a must IMO. The problem is they havent got one for your model car yet, but people have bought the Karcepts Shifter Mounting Kit for the EG and managed to modify it to suit your model civic. Send the guy an email asking about this, he is a great guy and will help u out greatly. This will save u having to do alot of work and cutting into your firewall etc and of course mounts your shifter in a great position. Its also only $175 USD (not shipped)

Did u end up checking out hybrid-racing? they got alot of great products that would help u and Will, one of the people who runs the place would do anything for his customers. Things that u could source from there are.. conversion harness (unless u are a wiring freak!), axles, radiator gear (needs to be relocated). They can also supply u with other brand parts such as AEM, Golden Eagle + heaps more incase u need other gear for your swap.

thanks for that man... hahaha shit my car is 300kg too heavy then to run the same time on the same sort of motor :( (not considering how much torque and what rev range u made the kw of course)

fking nice man :thumbsup:

[G AE82]

Paul1985: I've actually known all the web sites you've listed for quite a while now (as I've been wanting to do this coversion for about a year), but thanks for letting me know. As for the karcepts shifter mounting kit I've got a fully stipped interior and have no problem cutting the firewall so it wouldn't be much use. Are you gonna do a k20a conversion? Seems like you've done a lot of research in this area.

[bennjamin]

is this Chucks old car perchance ?


numbers should be good...i strongly sugest to get ibn touch with some US guys relevant to your setup ( pacman etc comes to mind...)

[G AE82]

Yes chuck is the previous owner of this car. He developed a great little car built for speed.. it just needs to be fed with power.

[online]

good luck with it dude :thumbsup:

[BOV]

with the new step up, you should able to smoke some turbo/v8s..

great job...

just wonder what size of tyers and presure you running?

[EG5]

wow another k20a hybrid honda :)

[DOSHBTEK]

wowwwwww the engine is worth like 10 times the car..... hehe

[Ferrari]

I thought a k20a front cut would run alot higher than that? Many kms done on the engine?

[tinkerbell]

8-9k is the going price,

getting a hold of them is the problem...

[G AE82]

DOSHBTEK: hehe yeah, I am thinking of insuring the car (with the k) but might be a waste of money if I don't get the value I want.. but then again I'll be hesitant to run it on the street without it. Hoping to respray the car so the show will sorta match it's go (if it ever can hehe)

Ferrari: not to sure on the exact figure but being a 2001-2004 model in Japan I estimate aroung 30,000-50,000k's.

Tinkerbell: yeah not to many jdm k20's around.. I think I got the only one around at the moment.

[G AE82]

Heres another pic, will start the coversion in two weeks time :thumbsup:

http://i22.photobucket.com/albums/b315/JAlcorn/pic00170.jpg

[TypeG]

$8k for the engine and gearbox.......
that's a bit too pricy..

[Paul1985]

$8k for the engine and gearbox.......
that's a bit too pricy..

No its not, u should expect that from a JDM K20A.

Its gonna be a real sleeper!!!

That is awsome dude, be sure to keep us updated on the swap process!

Cant wait to see your results :thumbsup:

[BOV]

$8k is quite a reasonable price from wercker..unless you can get one from jap by yourself..

wonder what type of ECU is it going to run on...

[G AE82]

Just to make clear to everybody what I bought for my money:-

* K20a Engine (with all manifolds)
* 6 speed gearbox
* Wiring harness, fusebox and all sensors
* JDM ECU
* Axles/driveshafts

So not exactly a half cut but almost everything I need for the conversion :)

[Steer^Gimic]

unreal. nice one

didnt know mx5's where 4x100. nice wheels!

keep us informed on this beast once done

[G AE82]

Hey guys. To update the B16 engine has been taken out and put into another 86 AH civic hatch I bought as a daily and will be used for the next round of the sports compact series while the K20 is completed. The K20 has been fitted in the engine bay and fits without much trouble. Mounts are currently being tacked up with steel to be used as a template for alloy mounts to be fitted. Will post up pics soon :thumbsup:

[barefootbonzai]

AWSOME can't wait

Regards Dyno Dave

[bennyBear]

haha,

Thats a mighty big engine for such a little car, lol.

It looks like it should lift the back wheels off the ground!!

Top work, look forward to reading more!

~Benny.

[Paul1985]

bennyBear, the k20a is actually not that heavy :thumbsup:

any pics of it in the car yet?

[ALLMTR]

Might look a bit like this....

http://www.pbase.com/driftking/image/25269432

Good luck with it, dude!!!!

[G AE82]

Thanks Chuck. Good luck with your build/s aswell!

Heres a progress pic (although not very exciting)
http://i22.photobucket.com/albums/b315/JAlcorn/th_pic00202.jpg (http://i22.photobucket.com/albums/b315/JAlcorn/pic00202.jpg)

next one will be of the engine in car!

[ALLMTR]

You do know round 2 has been cancelled, don't you?

[**PIMPIN**ACCORD]

Hey nice motor you got going into that littel thing ;)

Good luck with everything

[online]

what are you going to do for axles? can something std Honda bolt up?

[G AE82]

Chuck: Yes, very very disapointed. :(
Jim: Shortening both standard k20a shafts to fit for now. Will end up running billet axles sooner or later. Will give you a call in a few weeks about parts and a few other things. :thumbsup:

[Paul1985]

hey mate. a guy over on k20a.org has figured out a way of using the stock axles.. even for the 32mm... the only problem is its for an EG, but with your car it may also be possible, it'd be worth looking into anyway. This would be alot cheaper yet just as strong as some of the billet axles.

the way it is done is by custom fitting b-series axles to k-series axles.

Heres the DIY (very simple task aswell!)..
http://www.theksource.com/news/04/how-to-make-your-own-axles-for-eg-k-hybrids/

And heres the guys thread explaining about it.. http://www.k20a.org/forum/showthread.php?t=1594

Maybe u can ask in the thread whether it would be possible on your model civic. Its entirely upto u mate. Just trying to help out.. good luck.

Paul.

[G AE82]

Dave: Hondata K-pro is already fitted to the ECU (in Melbourne by James?) and will be sent back up here as we speak. I saw you got 137fwkw out of a totally stock k20 except kpro! How much power should we be looking at with I/H/E mods?

Paul: thanks for the web sites. First thing we will be doing is mixing and matching the axles to see if we get can get them to fit. If theres no luck there we will get them machined to fit. If that's not an option we'll have to go strait to billet ones!

[online]

Jim: Shortening both standard k20a shafts to fit for now. Will end up running billet axles sooner or later. Will give you a call in a few weeks about parts and a few other things. :thumbsup:

sounds good, give me a call if you need help with anything..

[ALLMTR]

Can't wait to see this finished

[Non Vtec]

in the states DSS (drive shaft shop) make custom stage 6 billet K-series axles to any length, Team K and Skunk 2 run them on all there 9sec N/A cars.. so try them.. The link is on www.k20a.org

[G AE82]

Finally after months of waiting we finally have some progress! :D

Both passenger and drivers side mounts have been cut which leaves the rear hang mount to be finalised.

As the picture suggests the engine is going to sit very forward and very low (will be 1-2 inches lower than in picture) for the primary purpose of getting the axles as strait as possible...doesn't hurt weight distrubution either :D

We've bit the bullet and have opted for custom billet axles which should be started this week... from there the engine bay will be resprayed and cleaned up then its onto ancillaries/wiring/exhaust and tune.

We are hoping to have the car up and running in a month so updates should come thick and fast from now on...

http://i22.photobucket.com/albums/b315/JAlcorn/IMG_0797.jpg

[barefootbonzai]

Sweet as bro. Can't wait till it's all done. We'll have to meet up again soon :thumbsup:

[dc4t]

ohh nicee.. man this guy is the king of old school civics :p

[OLM-02R]

wow...nicely done...thanks for the updates man...good luck... :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup: for you man...

[ORACER]

:thumbsup:
K20 is the way to go!!;)

[pillow]

Should have gone with an SR20VE:rolleyes: lol j/k

That's looking awesome mate, will it still be driven on the street with the k20?

[G AE82]

Yes. The main point of building this car was to keep it street registered and driven. Just picked up the new number plates the other day...

[barefootbonzai]

EHK20?

[RH9]

Looks great man . . . good luck with the rest of the rebuild! :)

Just wondering whether you are using an LSD or locker and what diff ratio you have in the Civic.

[Menzy]

that looks so good, good luck with the project ... im actually doing my Homework for the k20a :) hehehehe as for my future plans. would love to see this car go on track :)
as for suspension ... what are you going to be using. also for exhaust... im guessing custom made ... just wanting to know :) and hope for best for you :)

[G AE82]

Thanks for the support guys. The gearbox has an lsd and a 4.76 final drive ratio.
The suspension is reworked mostly at the back and the exhaust will be custom made.

[tinkerbell]

EHK20?

no, i think it would be a AHK20A

[riptrsxs]

Nice Project!!! The post got my attention since I though it was the 1st Gen civic. I got my years confused. LOL VERY NICE!!! I have never seen a cleaner 85. :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

How far along are you in the project? I have a shop in Asia. I get these motors all the time. Lemme know if you need help sourcing out miscellaneous parts for the projet.

[G AE82]

Riptrsxs: Thanks.. will do.. have all the parts ready for the conversion (shift linkage etc) but was thinking of getting a spare short block for when things get serious.. but that will be further down the track

[riptrsxs]

Riptrsxs: Thanks.. will do.. have all the parts ready for the conversion (shift linkage etc) but was thinking of getting a spare short block for when things get serious.. but that will be further down the track
Just lemme know. I've got a couple spare shortblocks.

[G AE82]

Engine mounts are complete and gear shifter and linkage is hooked up. Post up pics very soon. :D

[riptrsxs]

Now, that is a thing of beauty!!!

[nearly-man]

made to fit!!!

like a glove!

[Menzy]

Just one thing ... the mounts for the k20, there is 5of them and if im right the Gen1 civic had only 3 ... ? so what you do there
if your using 3 ... would that be enough ? ...

[riptrsxs]

Just one thing ... the mounts for the k20, there is 5of them and if im right the Gen1 civic had only 3 ... ? so what you do there
if your using 3 ... would that be enough ? ...

The K20 actually has four mounts in its natural habitat with the addition of the front mount hooked onto the subframe. Its really not needed on the swaps. Most chassis that doesn't have a subframe would normally just require the rear, passenger and driver's side mounts.

[G AE82]

Menzy: Yes the original engine only had 3 engine mounts stock. To tell you the truth the front crossmember section doesn't have much strength to begin with.
All the strength is in the rear crossmember, where the rear hang mount is welded to.
I have a lot of faith in the fabricator of the engine mounts due to his experience with drag racing chassis (namely Top Doorslammer).
That being said we'll only really know if three mounts are enough until we do one thing... RACE IT!!! :D

[Project R]

Who is your fabricator or what is the name of the workshop.
So i know for future projects

[G AE82]

Project R: The fabricators name is Steve and he doesn't have a shop front. He chooses his work from the workshops that know him (GRP Automotive). I can ask him for you if you need any fabrication work done .. but there will be no garauntee that he will want to do the work. Sorry :(

by the way radiator is mounted.. it is from an EK civic! :)

[Menzy]

G AE82: lOOOl heheh :) well that sounds fair id say :p ... All the best of luck bro ;)

[ALLMTR]

Looking very good *thumbs up*

[10KRPM]

Its a bit of a trek for you guys now that GRP are out at Brendale??

[G AE82]

10krpm: Yeah it is a bit of a drive but I'm not complaining :)

These should be the last of the pics for a few weeks. Once the ancilleries are all sorted everything will be taken out and the gearbox will be fitted with a heavy duty clutch, engine bay will be resprayed and axles should arrive from the states (BLOODY DRIVESHAFTS!!!).

p.s. JIM..will talk to you soon

awesome stuff there man! :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

[Non Vtec]

if you wanted a trick, the water pipe connection on the front of the motor can be filed and then turned 120 degrees around so you can mount the radiator on the other side of the car and then run the filter straigt down into the bumper.

[G AE82]

Thanks for the info Non Vtec. It's certainly good to know. I'll definately think about that option.

[G AE82]

The car originally had a b16a and the inlet manifold was very close to the firewall. We had problems as the engine twisted (broke) the rear mount frequently. The dents are a result of this and the numerous times the engine had to come out to fix the problem.

[[DCEIVR]]

Hella impressive...look forward to seeing more of this

[zel05]

Hey jase, its miki here

Did you get to take the civic out for a drive yet? Should be almost done right?

Check out this ek with k20...good parts suppliers...

http://www.jdm-theory.com/

[G AE82]

Hey Miki.. everything is out of the engine bay at the moment as it is in the process of being resprayed (firewall has been smoothed and painted with primer so far). Only parts we are waiting on now is Hondata (which should arrive today) and fabrication of the exhaust! Don't worry once it's ready I'll take you for a spin! :D

[defect]

Damn thats going to be crazy, 2L in a 700kg shell
some bodies gonna get hurt

[Kenshin3180]

This car will be damn quick... I can't wait to see it go.

[G AE82]

UPDATE: Engine bay has been sprayed and the motor is back in. Wiring is underway. The whole car has been prepared for the respray in mazda velocity red, which will happen tomorrow night. Then it's off to get the custom extractors and exhaust made and fitted, on Friday, which will hopefully be done by Wednesday. By that time hopefully the driveshafts will have arrived. Then all that will be left is tuning :D

[G AE82]

Heres a pic of the 99% finished engine bay!!!! Enjoy...

http://i22.photobucket.com/albums/b315/JAlcorn/IMG_0917.jpg

[zel05]

That looks great jase...looks very very schmick...i know your happy with it...i can tell...lol

[G AE82]

Allright everyone this should be the last update before we race it which will hopefully be next Wednesdays Test n Tune.

Engine if fully wired up and has been fired and runs fine shooting four nice flames outside the exhausts ports! :D

Exhaust is started and will be finished this Wednesday and driveshafts should arrive next Monday so everything is comming together very nicely.

I'm curious as to what you guys think it will do down the quarter??? I have my own estimations as to what it will do based on previous all motor performances but I just don't want to spit out any numbers :p

[BigWillieStyles]

I would have no idea what this this would run on the 1/4 mile, but damn i would love to see it run.

[luzinit]

very tidy mate, let us know how she goes! really good to see more allmtr cars representing n/a hondas in the drag scene!! wooo

[bennjamin]

low 13's first run ? Woudl be nice ehehe :)

[MKI4EVA]

Great work. Just curious if you had to get an engineered cert at all? or is it still within the range where you don't need to?

If you did, can you recommend the place where you got it done? I need to go down that route very soon.

Cheers.

[ALLMTR]

You do realise he is from Queensland, don't you?

[tinkerbell]

that car will be straight into the elevens with proper tyres and suspension...

engine bay looks great!!!

looooove the colour too! :cool:

well done on such a professional 'backyard' job :thumbsup:

[riceball]

car looks awesome. im guessing it would pull mid-high 12's. some guys in the US manage to pull 13.2 on street tyres, stock engine. Your car is alot lighter so hopefullly alot faster aswell. Good luck with your run!

[G AE82]

Car is running, but the driveshafts haven't turned up yet. Were sent Friday afternoon on an overnight service from Sydney. Chances of making it to the track tonight are slim unless they turn up this morning.

[cdpfxz]

driveshafts turn up?? if not, let us know wen ur heading out next i'll try and head out so i can watch u hav a run! im thinkin if u can put power to the floor u should be looking around mid 12's.. lets hope for that! or better!

nic :thumbsup:

[BigWillieStyles]

fark, tracking it already!! dont u need to let the new system run in!

[G AE82]

Update: Got the driveshafts today, everything is now fitted up.
Car will be dynoed tomorrow and hopefully will pull a good number.

Even if the car was drivable the Test n Tune was cancelled at willowbank because of rain so it didn't matter.

All that matters now is that the car is ready for Mini-Jam and that I can drive the car properly. Me thinks it's going to be a little harder to drive with a solid centre, full faced clutch and a new hydraulic setup :p

[angel]

Last weekend was the start of Auto Salon 2006 in Sydney. Dyno Comp N.A. Category won by an EG equiped with K20A fully stock, just extractor and KNN Filter, 137Kw, as i have been told.

[barefootbonzai]

Come on guys, he got 13.4 with a stock b16 in that car. It's gotta do better than that with a k20 in it. Would be very dissapointing if it didn't.

[EG5]

Last weekend was the start of Auto Salon 2006 in Sydney. Dyno Comp N.A. Category won by an EG equiped with K20A fully stock, just extractor and KNN Filter, 137Kw, as i have been told.

It was JDM k20a ,DC sports header and custom intake with k&n
stock ecu .

[G AE82]

Just ramped the car then. Initial run with the base map (running extremely rich) with no tuning we got 130kw at the wheels! :thumbsup:

Will keep you posted on a final number!

[tinkerbell]

sweety man, plenty of headroom there...

BTW - what is the thing on the front LHS of the engine bay? near whare the fuel rail line runs?

[j-specAccord]

dam! almost 180hp! that is insane!
and in a 700kg box lol
easy 12's! good luck at mini-jam, might come watch..

[cdpfxz]

did u run at mini jam? just wondering how u went if u did!

nic

[zel05]

He didnt get to run, the cv's blew...

He'll update when he gets on here...

Sad really :(

[Jase EK]

Gotta be one of the fastest hondas in brisbane.. SUper honda :) easy 12s.. considering his b16 did mid 13s.. this lil beast gonna suprise some Holdens and fords

[G AE82]

Car has had a few problems including a blown CV on Friday afternoon then on Saturday morning driving to Mini Jam, the rear engine mount snapped. Mounts are getting modified and fixed up soon.

[cdpfxz]

ah thats no good.. ah well these things are expected in the first few trials of something like this. Bad luck though, will be good to see wen u get it back on the road!

nic

[bored]

nice setup

[crx88rb]

He didnt get to run, the cv's blew...

He'll update when he gets on here...

Sad really :(

OMG :P well hopefuly will be done soon to run, good luck mate :honda: honda POWAH :honda:

[epren]

dat much power huh? :) kidding more power to you!!!! great job!

[G AE82]

Well it's been a long road but the car is finally back on the road with the engine mounts sorted!!! We're going to debut it at a Willowbank Test n Tune next Wednesday. CAN'T WAIT!!!!!!

[tinkerbell]

bring it on man!

best of luck this time around :thumbsup:

[barefootbonzai]

which wednesday man, let me know i wanna come test out my new car too.

[G AE82]

Wednesday the 3rd of May. Hope to see you out there Barefoot.

[zel05]

Jase...what happened...did the car run awesome times? Did it make it out to the track in one piece? Id send you a message...but its 10.30...too late...im going to bed...lol...

[G AE82]

Just did a 12.96 @ 110.38mph on the first and only run!

Car was launched a too high a revs and exhaust manifold fell apart in first gear (bolts loosened off at slip joints).

Second run we lowered the revs and tyre pressurses and snapped a CV on the start line by the looks of things. Anyway the car was towed from the track.

We're very happy with the mph and things can only get better from here!

I will try to post up the video of the run even though it is very crappy quality (it was done on a digital still camera)

[zel05]

Who are you going to have fix it this time?

[G AE82]

My brother Jason is using the GnJ Racing username for future reference and not my username from now on. GRP is fixing the car. Mounts need a bit more work too.

[cdpfxz]

damn that is loud! sounds tuff as....... bet u surprised a few ppl! didnt look very busy out there last night.. anyway, well done on the run, atleast u broke the 12 sec bracket! will be good to some better times with a bit of trial and error.. congrats

nic :thumbsup:

[Paul1985]

damn thats a great time for street tyres and a bad launch. Imagine it with slicks and a perfect launch!

Bad luck on the CV snap :(

[GnJracing]

Went to the track again and broke another one...this time passenger side. We're using the local driveline services (I think) Cv's. Now we're upgrading to OEM Honda cv's which are four times the price, so hopefully they won't break. Taking it back next wednesday ready for compak attack!

awsome mph

[DynoDave]

Just did a 12.96 @ 110.38mph on the first and only run!

Car was launched a too high a revs and exhaust manifold fell apart in first gear (bolts loosened off at slip joints).

Second run we lowered the revs and tyre pressurses and snapped a CV on the start line by the looks of things. Anyway the car was towed from the track.

We're very happy with the mph and things can only get better from here!

Great job guys look forward to catching up with you both next weekend.

See you then Dave. There are so many questions I need to ask you.:)

My brothers heading out to the track tomorrow night, with genuine OEM cv's to see if it holds up. Fingers crossed.

New All Motor FWD Street Tyre Record!!!

Just ran a 12.76 @ 112.33mph, short shifting with no burnout and walking off the line. Second run was the same but mis-shifted into second and got a 13.4 @111mph. Third time big burnout and launch and this time broke the inner cv! When will we get some luck? Getting it fixed for Compak. Looks like I'm going to be babying it the whole meet!

DynoDave: Thanks mate, should be alright. Might get in touch with you and the Online boys before friday!

tinkerbell: Yeah hope to see you there!

[G AE82]

Bad news. We broke the passenger driveshaft near the inner cv, not the cv itself. No more spare for this weekend at Compac Attack. :(

[riceball]

NoOO thats gay as. Just put a stick in there for the time being =D

[Philc]

nice work and congrats guys.

hopefully you'll have some better luck with the joints though.

[GnJracing]

Just came back from Compak Attack. Ran a personal best of 12.60 @ 111.72mph. Still no burnout or launch... just slipping the clutch out at 2000rpm. Still a lot more to sort out.

A big thanks to Jim, Deni and Dave for all their help and advise!! Congrats on your new PB and Australasian ALL MOTOR record!!!

[black itr]

Congrats on the awsome time...

Can I ask what fuel you are using? ie. do you need to add aN octane booster for JDM K20's?

[G AE82]

Next time in Sydney will be in November for ANDRA Drag Wars. Next meet we will be at is Jamboree in September, Not too far away.

The fuel we're using is top secret! Nah just kidding.... we're using 98 octane pump fuel, tuned with K-Pro.:thumbsup:

[3gFRD]

Just awesome build, you guys have done a truely great job. The hits this gets from 3g owners on YouTube you wouldn't believe. Gotta be the coolest 3rd gen on the planet right now. 3g FTW:thumbsup:

Any news on the CV/driveshaft issues? It would be great too see what time she'd do running on R888's if the driveline would hold.

[Snoop_gee]

whats happening with this of late?

[Sean628]
