Default Checkout this EF9 SiR

I saw this at the TAS '06 as I was leaving on the last day. The guy wouldn't open the hood but he said he was running a high compression 2.0l VTEC motor that produced 250whp.... yes, 250 (NA) whp. I wish I would have seen this car earlier. Oh yeah, it's a circuit car that might see the streets every once in a while. The only thing I didn't like was the wing.

click the pick














Mods - I posted this in here instead of the appearance forum because it is EF specific. Enjoy!!

The car is actually really nice in person and the owner was mondo cool after I spoke Japanese to him. The widebody kit is functional. Most of the removeable panels were replaced with dry carbon pieces. The car is still being builit because the dry carbon dash panel wasn't finished and they have yet to tune the motor.

I realize many of you guys probably will not like this car but I would rather see a functional race car than another EF rotting or headed to the crusher.

I will be searching for another EF9 SiR race base after I get my Teg back on the road.

Of course it was converted over. He converted half the damn car do you think he lacks the ability to change the distributor and a couple of wires? And no, the Prelude B20's were non-vtec. This car is interesting, I don't actually even mind the Toyota front end conversion (either a Vitz or MRS) but I can't stand the rear 1/4 of the car.

You guys crack me up... Fully built and balanced B20B (B20 CRV/SMX/HRV/Ortheia block with a CTR B16B head). Sorry for not including that info.

Is what far stretched? It's a RACE MOTOR! High compression, larger cams, stronger rods, balanced assy (crank, rods, pistons, dampner), dry sump, larger TB..... the whole enchilada

the front is cool, the rear is mehh. i like like clean stock cars these days, but a well executed modified is appreciable every once in awhile. the wide body rex on the new bonzai is questionable.
