Hi how u all doin? Just registered and thought id better introduce myself. I'm Keith fron Dublin , Ireland. Im drivin a 96 JDM spec Type R. Its currently dressed up as an exact Spoon Sports replica. Gettin ready for a lot of work over the winter on her at the mo as I hope to go Drag racing seriously in '06. Car is fairly specced at the moment but theres stilla fair bit to go! Ill get some pics up and a full spec list up asap. Im hopin to get involved in some discussions here in the future

regards, Keith

 

Welcome Keith. Do you plan on taking the vehicle to a road course there?

 

Thanks mate, ya they hold drag racing days up north over here around the summer time. Went this past summer and got a taster for it but will be properly prepped next year!

Migs meant a road course (with turns), not a drag strip.

Good luck with the R.

 

Oh right , theres a trackday on tomorrow , goin down to have a look and see how it all works but not participating! Probably do a few of them next year too though

 

Cheers for the welcome. Will get some pics up on friday when I get my camera back from mate! Will be up in Tuning Factory, the local Vtec tuners tomorrow and will compile a full spec list , as is now and future mods. Had car on the rolling road recently , running on 95 octane (thats all we get over here), (not mapped for 95) , achieved 211bhp at the fly and 189bhp at the wheels with 146 ft/lb of torque. This was with a Js racing 421 manifold, cat replacement pipe and a Buddy club spec 4 cat back system with a blitz drop in filter with cold air feed. Short term future mods, fingers crossed over the winter, will be a new ORC clutch and flywheel kit. Then a 4.9 final drive kit. Spring mods will hopefully then be new injectors , cams etc and a Hondata s200 ecu to run it all! A full interior strip out is on the cards too. A 2nd car, for trackday use only is on the cards too, hopefully that will be ready for the new Trackday season which kicks off in March. And ive started college too and i work 45 hours a week so im gonna have a hell of a winter gettin everything sorted!

Regards, Keith

I get about 20 exchange students from Europe every season. I'm used to it. They may sound different even through typed words, but they usually mean the same exact thing

PS most of mine are from Nottingham, UK, but I've had some from Ukraine, Germany, Poland, Ireland, Estonia, etc...

And when I bring the R to work, the guys always always crowd around and ask loads of questions.

 

Welcome to H-T.

 

welcome to honda tech , lets get some pics up

 

so you have a spoon replica and you plan to be heavily into drag racing?

that sounds a little odd

why not turbo or toda?

spoon is road course stuff
