REDVTI - looking good as
I'm still on the way. ITs taking alot longer on mine also. I've got lots of pics along the way and hopefully will put up a post of the progress.
I've also learnt alot more along the way as to why things are done certain ways.
The budget has blown but i guess that's normal. I've tried to use all good quality parts so that hasn't been cheap.
The turbo route isn't easy but that's mainly because there is a lack of local knowledge available to us hence we have to do it the hard way. It shouldn't be kept so secretive. I hope your build turns out good. Please post your build so we can learn as well.Quote:

I am happy to share the info with you. I must say it is fortunate that I have met the right people at the right time. My field is actually in finance & accounting therefore without the right people to help with this budget civic build, the project will probably need to defer for a long time.
Now if the car goes well I would like to use it on the track for some fun. I have already passed the OLT test for the CAMS licence but I don't think I will go into competition. It will require another $25K injection to make the car competitive. I prefer to use it on something else which makes more money. Right now I am just want a race seat, a set of second hand coil overs, decent brakes pads, semi slick tyres and sway bars, may be add a 2bar map sensor and the civic should serve the purpose after that... to have fun on the track.
Here is my OLT test results ( I used my S13 to do the test )

yeah, my problem are minor ones but its taking longer than i expected. I'll do a write-up when i'm done and post it up. Hoping to track mine also.
P.S if you need a set of front slicks for a drag run, i have a cheap set.
Do some type of trade with you for your cup holders?
the car up and running yet mate? =)
Happy New Year to everyone...
Had a break from this project and spent sometime attending the other car.
The story of this civic is that the first boost already killed the flywheel and clutch which were probably not in good condition in the first place.
Now waiting for a detail analysis so we can determine what need to be upgraded.
Lol i was wondering what happened with your car
bad luck on that one, i think im going to have the same problem =\
hope it goes good after that :thumbsup:
Ouch dude..Quote:
