    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.
