Thanks mate, only started doing it a month ago or so after a member here actually asked if I had a build thread. Thought it would be a good way to document and let me look through whats happened and how things have effected times. Just starting out though, so still trying to get setup right and learning how to drive...

Just a little B16 at the moment putting down 110kw @ wheels. Got some Dunlop DZ03G, didn't get much of a chance to try them out last time though, so waiting til the next day which will probably be Round 3 of the VSSC at Sandown at start of next month.

Remember seeing this car @ the workshop - BTW any handling questions................ pick up the BAT-PHONE & give me a call. Happy to help.

Very nice video. Engine note sounds nice and the car seems to climb through the gears nice and quick!

Thanks, the engine is sensational, heaps of grunt and yes revs through the gears much quicker than the old engine due to the new 3.5kg flywheel and the 7.25" Tilton twin plate clutch. Cant wait for the next meeting at Phillip Island on new tires. Expecting lap times under the 1:48

yeah mate - sounds awesome - it loves 4th gear :)

Makes a hell of a difference having the 3.5kg flywheel and 7.25" Tilton twin plate clutch and combined with the added power, it rips through the gears. The one thing I would like to look into is changing the 5th gear ratio to something closer to 1.0. I guess for a road box it's not too shabby at least for Phillip Island. But I think down the track a full close ratio box will be the way to go. The other weakness for this race car is the front brakes. Currently I have Mazda RX7 series 4 twin pot calipers and Legend slotted rotors but I have never been able to lock the fronts. Tried all sorts of pads but nothing. I don't run a brake booster just a modified pedal box. So more money to spend down the track.. lol

So this has an OEM kit on it but the front lip is different, any idea what that is? Hard to tell from the photos and black on black paint.

So what was required to get the brakes to fit? Assuming a custom caliper bracket and simple redrill on the 282mm rotors to 4x100. Interested to see close up pics of the contact area etc on the rotor too..

The front spliter/Spoiler was custom made here in Melbourne about 11 years ago ....The rest of the body kit was on the car when it came from Japan.
The front control arms were modified to have the Mazda RX7 series 4 brakes fit.
I did have Porsche Boxter 4 pots on there but were not suited to run without brake booster. I bought the bolt on Porsche kit in the USA with hats and rotors that bolt right onto the Integra but these were no good for my purpose as I had no brake booster. They worked a treat on my road Integra and looked great. I will get some pics together on both for you guys.
