The Batmobile

Very Nice Denmase!

Thanks xntrik!

I still Love em' :)

I stripped,primed and painted the rear doors for weight saving.The control for the electric window is cable tied in there :p
Works a treat :thumbsup:.No back seat as it is not needed.

I will be keeping the front door trims on there because it's a bit dodgy for theft with the wire arms poking out...you could quite easily hook some of that blue packing tape on there to open the door PLUS the comfort of the front door trims for a daily is nice.
When I track the car,they can easily be removed :thumbsup:

Thanks denmase!

Lots of fun!!! :)

Here's a couple of Vids from a few months ago.It was the first time I went to the track and experienced this and I fell in Love :D

Ivan and the Team at Hi-Powered Racing are the fastest around this track,beating ALL skylines,wrx's and all other vehicles :eek:

HONDA NO 1 :thumbsup:

A little warm up :cool:

Let's go racing :p

lol i was there that day~never saw you but. good fun aye

Oh serious! Damn aye!

MAD FUN!!

Just watching those cars flying down the strait and hooking into that right hander! WHOA!!!

I was like 'I wanna do that!!!'

I went and said hello to all the guys at Hi-powered racing :) they were flat out preping the car for the next run.Far out that car is impressive,it's a little rocket!! I saw it run at the quarter too,Damn FAST!!

Man semi stripped car, fixed back bucket... get your arse to QR already. Let me know when you decide to go... I'll come out for a looksie and a chat.

I know I know Speedy :)

It's the coilovers I need to get them,then the car will be driveable on the track.

Nice ride beeza, respect for makaveli too. Its hard to find pac fans these days with the house/electro craze goin on. I spose it juz signs of us aging.

I see u spent a lil effort with the cool air intake, why not go to a lil more and build a heat sheilded box for the pod.

Laterz,
Diz

Thanks mate.Respect to Pac Yo!! Nice one Diz!

The Pod filter is enclosed now,I think I need to update a pic of the engine bay.Will do soon :)

Here's my intake now Dizzy! Clicky

I don't think I posted that link before,I couldn't find it...

lol up in brissy haha. i live in sunnybank bro.

did my intake solution work ?

Nice! I was gunna do something similar but busted up my knee and have to get a knee reco so its been put on hold. My idea was to run 2 pods to increase to surface area sucking in air. Hopefully I will be able to walk soon get it done and post some pics up.

Thank U!

Sucks about ya knee.Health comes 1st offcoarse.

I thought about 2 pod filters too,I can't remember if I followed it through to find out if the idea works or not.If it did lots of cars would have the set up,so I doubt it does.I would to be prooved wrong though :p

You can get pod filters that flow around 1000cfm so there is no need for 2 as a honda head would never flow that much

Edit: A ported and polished K20 head can run around 330cfm

Ah,gotcha.I knew the answer would be right in front of my face,even I don't want to think sometimes hehehe

my ghetto zip tie one.

dont worry lol i just read thread. apparently it worked for you lol~

Oh yes,there's a few random zip ties throughout my car holding my shit together :)

Any good DIY'er will have this hehehe

Hummm in that case i guess there is no need for this then. Oh well it looks kool :P

http://s199.photobucket.com/albums/a...urrent=062.jpg

man i suck with posting pics see here

http://s199.photobucket.com/albums/a...urrent=062.jpg

Interesting! Is that your's?

Whack it in and see how it goes :)

yeah its mine, at the moment i'm just running the stock box. I've run it before, it suck hard and makes an awsome sounding real high pitch whilsting noise, lol. Its off for now while i make a box for it.

Cool.Did U notice any change in performance?

yeah mate i did notice a slight drop in performance, which was more pronounced at high-end revs.

I've been using ozhonda for background reading for awhile now and never introduced myself or my car. I might do this given that i will be confined to my bed for atleast a few more days.

Shit yes! :)

Well - Welcome!! Get into it mate.

So a drop in performance eh.The parts all have to match and work together...good little experiment.

A good reason to give the head a -
3 angle valve job
machine a bit off it - On a d-series - 0.010" = 4hp and 4ft lbs of low end torque
R & R the valve seats
Port match the Intake and exhaust side to the Intake manifold and extractors

Wonder if the intake would work then?

I went to the Track for the first time!! WOOT WOOT!!

What a Day!!

After 4 1/2 hrs sleep,I got up at 6am,was out there at 8am (from gold coast) and on the track at 8.30am for practice!

I had an absolute ball! First time on the track!

I had a 40 minute session - 1/2 tank on fuel,then went and got another tank of fuel and
had another 1hr session.Only 2 other cars came out for 5 minutes twice,so I had the track to myself.It was bloody awesome.An endurance race

My car went so well,NO tow truck home

I went at it for 10 or so laps then did 2 cool down laps.Everytime I saw the coolant temp guage creep up,I would tell myself,OK next lap is a cool down lap but I just couldn't do it,I was having to much fun,1 more,1 more

The first corner (right) after the strait I was able to take at 130km.That was the limit of the suspension.The car did have a bit more power in it after flatting it down the strait,so I hooked into the corner at 135km,the tail came out and I slid sideways off the track for about 20m
I know the sprint guys hit that corner around 150km,Jamie in his little eg was hitting it at 160km
I lost the tail 2 more times at 90-100km.

Soooooo much fun!

I was really impressed with my car handling wise and even though it lacks grunt and is an automatic,it went bloody good.
I was able to approach the corner at say 110-140km,hard on the brakes (left foot) down to 80-90km,hook it in,keep ya foot slightly on the brakes and tap the accelerator a couple of times then when you hit the apex,off the brakes and on the gas whipping ya out.This worked the best I found.Does it sound right?
It's not easy,I understand now,but I felt I made good progress with the good track time I had.

Best Day eva!!

It's a copy and it works a dream.

Thanks man!

They are just the stock ones atm but I did have after market ones on there,the carbon fibre style ones.I got them off ebay ages back.But the stock look is far better IMO.

Thanks SHO!!

We had a Practice Track Day @ Queensland Raceway on the 13/5/09.Heaps of Ozhonda crew were there to participate or watch.It was a most excellent day.

post em in the sedan thread! hahaha
anything new with the car?
ive been bludging lately with mine - camera accessories been using up the car money =(

what times were the d series getting just curious ?

Thanks Dahon and I will do! :)

Nah,nothing new but always learning.The link in my sig is a list of things that I do/perform on a regular basis and am confident with doing all this now.Now I can pass on the knowledge :)
So,I will be giving Gio (Chris) a hand at doing em'! COOL!!

The learning never stops!

There were no times hisoka cause it was just practice.I hope to get out there again with a timer though.

Nice hut dude... wifey and I are planning on making the move into the sticks in the next few years. Just working hard to get one of our properties paid off to make the move possible.

Funny how things work these days eh.... have to bust your guts to be able to live a simpler life. The irony....

Nice to see ya hitting the track with a "mounted" recording device this time ;)

BTW... paint came out schmick after the pro detail.

Thanks Speedy!!

Stayin' true to myself has enabeled me to live a simplier life.Patience and a willingness to understand others etc

being content with your life is the key

Happy Happy Joy Joy!!!!

well said

I gotta say after reading your thread... Wow you built a nice D16! More of a hatch man but damn it looks good.

so how many times did u lap the porsche beeezy?

Thanks Timmy!! I still love my car and I can't see me 'getting over it' :)

Hahaha dc2x3 That porsche was incredibly fast aye,I didn't even see it come up behind me and overtake me!! Damn Fast!!! Soooo much FUN,cars roaring around everywhere!!

I made this post in a thread.It's a good one :)

" If you want to get your engine up and running good cheap then you can do this yourself (Note: 3 years ago I knew nothing about cars):

This is just dealing with the running of your engine,not suspension.

- Use Subaru Upper engine cleaner every 2nd/3rd oil change
- Collaborate voltage on TPS sensor on the throttle body
- Clean/replace spark plugs and set gap correctly
- Check resistance in your leads is fine
- Clean contact points in the dizzy and lightly sand the rotor on the outer edge where it sparks on the contact points
- Adjust the Tappets - VERY IMPORTANT!
- Clean air filter OR replace with pod filter and good cold air piping/Cold air intake.The point is COLD AIR/air from outside the engine bay (Make sure you re-connect the IAT sensor on the new intake arm)
- Get a wheel/camber/toe alignment and check your tyre pressure is correct once a week
- Change the oil and oil filter (every 5000km's)
- Change the fuel filter every 2nd oil change
- Transmission oil is every 20,000km's
- Charge your battery to full
- Expell air in coolant system through the radiator
- Check for engine codes and get familiar with how to do it!
- And get used to doing regular checks of everything in the engine bay,I have found many problems like this! - Like bolts I forgot to do up!
- And check for air leaks everywhere,all the clamps on the intake,all the gaskets on the engine and all the gaskets on the exhaust system! Important! No use having the whole thing running 100% if it's just gonna lose it somewhere.
- Make your car as light as possible
- Use BP Ultimate 98 fuel only (1/2 a tank max at a time if your keen)
- Just a small amount of windshield water too!
_ Also for $40 an injector (well worth it) you can get the spray pattern and flow rate adjusted correctly
- Also look into advancing the timing 2-3 degrees.
- Insulate your fuel lines - prevent the fuel from getting warm/hot

Do all that and your car will feel much better,then see if your satified,if not,another engine/car is in order

I think everyone should 'work with what they got' and learn first.Then you will know where you want to go afterwards! "

Hey Beeza, have you advanced your timing? results? (power and fuel economy)
Have you insulated your fuel lines? what with?

I advanced the timing when I first got the car and I remember it liked it,so it worked for me!

I used that refridgerator tape to insulate the fuel lines,my mate had some lying around :)
