Default My R-Powered Coupe

Bought this with a JDM B18C with Cams and thats about it.

Swapped motors out from my other car and put the B18CR in this, been working away on this coupe trying to make it a bit nicer. Its still very rough around the edges but ill get there. here are some pics so far. Hope you like what iv done

I would say so, given the pic shows the brake booster and master cylinder on the RH side. And the dude posting is from New Zealand.

So true. That and assisting with exhaust scavenging, therefore making power.

But otherwise, it's pointless. Riiiiiiight....

heatwrap is stupid because it produces more power therfore making it more dangerous to drive right?

Sorry about wrong forum
<TABLE WIDTH="90%" CELLSPACING=0 CELLPADDING=0 ALIGN=CENTER><TR><TD>Quote &raquo;</TD></TR><TR><TD CLASS="quote">Take off the heat-wrap, **** is pointless. </TD></TR></TABLE>
those are 98 spec 4-1 headers and with there thin wall stainless they get MEGA hot under the bonnet.

I have an intake gasket and wrapped headers and its WAYYYYY better under there now, so other than maybe wrecking my headers in like 5-8 years time or more then who cares
here is another pic of my intake and catch can install. catch can and setup cost me maybe 15 bucks, and intake was free also filter

yeh my bad on the wrong forum thing

umm yeh thats what thermal coating is for if u look closer thats not a metal colour u see

um tech is stock B18CR motor, gizzmo intake gasket (better than hondata, we shld know because we are New Zealanders , gizzmo actually stops more heat)
98 ITR headers, cut off brackets, heat painted, wrapped, and skid plate made up
PCV catch can IM set up
short ram intake, new belts, cam seals, crank seals fluids etc.

2/1/4 exhaust (soon to be changed)
disc conversion all round
bilstein shocks with pro1 adjustable coilvers,
22mm ITR rear sway bar
Hawk pads with soon to be prelude upgrade
probably alot more but busy at the mo
