<FONT SIZE="3">Update pics added, scroll down.</FONT>

Working on my car this weekend at Sportcar Motion, snapped a few pics after closing.

The TeaFathers new project, replacing the drag Del Sol, with a streetable Civic EH:. The new motor is sleeved by Benson with 83mm bore, Manley rods and CP pistons. Turbo is GT35R , Precision 750hp intercooler with custom 3" alum piping.





Mike G getting some "adjustments" to the beast


Built GSR block awaiting a certain other white hatchback in need of a new heart


Delsolemites car staying 1.6, but with bigger *****

No pics of my car, it's got no heart

His bottom end had a lot of miles, so he decided tos tart fresh, and beef it up a bit. It ran great as it was, but it's going to be a lot better with more boost

Haha, horrible pics, ISO 1600 . After working on my car all day, I was way to tired to get into it, just snap and run .

Not at all, it was running like a champ, thanks to John at Sportcar and Shaun of Church Automotive Testing, but a few changes were in order. Even at low boost, that car is very quick

Even for 1600 iso you can barely tell...try that same iso on saaaay a 350d and the difference is just . Sucks you didn't include any pics of your beast .
