Made it to 4th gear before it sputtered out. Have to find a carpark out in south auckland with the cuzzies to give a real test bro.
Anyone somewhere quiet can lend me some diesel! Chur

do a skid. oh wait. Looked like sustained loss of traction to me.

I'd of preferred it to be more sustained but the chain that was meant to hold it down failed, then it was like trying to wrestle an alligator into line. Commodores and other FR cars have it easy, MR layout just wants to bolt out the door.

Evidently you need MORE power, to reduce the grip at the back wheels even further. Perhaps some Mugen or Spoon stickers might help!Sadly I no longer have a car capable of a skid (miss the V8 sometimes, and even my old Skyline).

On honda-tech I kinda do but not with any real details. Most of what you need to know I can simply display here. Mute it if you don't like ironically overplayed music. I've also since finished the front engine mount which has stopped the engine rocking.
Darton sleeved block, Forged JE pistons ,Eagle rods, Probably polish the head chambers, get some port work done then throw on a big ballbearing turbo. I want to make 400hp at 18psi or so, don't want 20+ psi.
It's a beast of a car, just the initial test drives have been nuts. It's encouraging it can take the abuse of burnouts though. Only thing I haven't figured out is the swaybars because the originals don't fit now obviously but I doubt they were suitable anyway. The rest is just making it tidy and covering things in to make it look nice. Add some green HID lights to stand out, throw a splitter on the front and finish the smooth underbody. Bringing a taste of group B back on a budget because I'm going to 100% rally the hell out of it :)
