Agreed

Agreed? why is it then that i can get my hands on the same internals and bolt on's that people can in the usa?
zco - mine is a d15b7 (SOHC 1.5 non vtec) Compelte standard engine, bolt on kit with microtec lt8 (standalone management)... the whole basic setup cost me abit under 3k tuned ready to go.... (however i saved a bit of money importing the gear from the usa and did all the installation basics myself)...
Last time i ran my car was a few weeks back, running 7psi... takeing into account and extra 100kgs of audio gear in the boot and 100kg worth of chrome rims (25kgs each) Complete as is show condition and a fuct clutch (slipping top end on gear changes) i ran a 14.5 @ 99mph....
No im not trying to make excuses i think its actually a pretty good time for the car and its circumstances... however its commen sense that its capable of better times if the conditions were different then as above... also makes 105fwkw
end of the day im not trying to make this about ME or MY car or MY setup..
no one believes me more then happy to show dyno sheets and my slips
