Anyone know any info about this car. I remember seeing it at the last show but didnt get a chance to talk to the owner.

 

DOHCVtec,

The owners name is Gavin Miyasaki and he's from Team Kyosho. His car was featured in the April 2001 issue of Import Racer...... the issue w/ the fugly Fast & Furious car on the cover! I've seen this car in person and it is very nice. Makes me wish I still had my EG hatch!

Mods include genuine JDM right hand drive conversion, B16B (thas right u heard me) Civic Type R motor, and some rare Mugen parts for the SiR that I don't think that KMS even shows on their website.

Check out the rare Mugen M7 wheels, u remember those back in tha day?
He also has some hard to get JDM SiR parts for the interior like the deck lid in the trunk area! I think he has a genuine JDM body badge written in Japanese on the radiator support! Also can u say Mugen racing buckets, shift ****, and steering wheel!

I think that he got the motor and the JDM goodies from the shop known as V-spec Performance in Baldwin Park, CA. If u like I can post their phone no. for more info!

Hope thas enuff!

Peace

 

Thanks for the info. Did you actually talk to the guy im curious to if he road races it?

 

Man...that looks like alot of money under that hood. How much do you think he spent?

 

I dunno but i heard it put 185 to the wheels and 130 ft/lbs of torque.

 

TTT

 

All i know is my friend Brian did the ecu for the car. Its a mugen chipped p28. The link is in the sig. I thought it was funny because hes sponsored by mugen, yet he buys a mugen chipped ecu from someone else.

 

From what i heard it was running spoon ecu. Well at least thats what it says in the magazine article.

My friend is friends with him. It was done recently. Remember that magazines take a while to be published. I personally do not know him.
