2000 Honda Civic Type R
I am the proud owner of a 2000 Honda Civic Type R....have alot of questions and need opinion, and I live in the Caribbean....hence I have this car...:D
well as you know, it's a two dr hatch with a b16b motor
so far i have an ACT clutch and pressure plate and a AEM CAI Intake installed...
this is what i want to get:-
Spoon rear strut bar
Spoon Stroker kit- 1.6- 1.8 liters
Spoon Flywheel
Tanabe front under brace
Buddy Club ECU spec a
Greddy front Gracer lip
Greddy Oil Catch can
Toda 4-2-1 headers
JIC Magic full catback with a titanium exhaust, angled exit.
I plan to auto x and drag my car....
Please take time to answer my questions in detail because i want to do this once and right the first time, because errors are expensive.....
Firstly, suspension wise is the spoon strut and the tanabe underbrace a good choice? to make handling better? I dont want to lower my car or get coil overs because we dont have the good roads u have in the US....
Next the Spoon stroker kit, what else would I need to run this kit?....larger injectors, etc? would I have to run higher octance gas etc?...we get for the best 95 ron unleaded here
anything else as I will have to do to run a higher compression ratio?
anything u guys might want to add inabout stroking?
Well I choose to go stroker because of the torque that the 1.6 lacks, would be gained from the stroker and also most importantly the I want to maintain the sleeper look.
Next, the greddy oil catch can comes in two sizes, 9mm and 15mm, which should I get?
Which is better for tuning, the buddy club spec a ecu or the greddy e-management?
I want to retain a/c normal functions etc, while being able to lower vtec, overcome the speed limiter, play with the fuel etc....
What power gains should I expect, quarter mile times, hp and torque etc should I expect?
Is this worth the money for this setup?
Hoping to make high to low 13's....possible or no?
It's alotta money I hafta put out, but I want it to count, while staying n/a without punching NOS and knocking the boots off all those turbo siR civics and integras running around my country, while keeping it streetable, it's my daily driver....
It's a good start, well at least what the pocket would allow...hahaha
Well thanks in advance guys, all comments welcome and I will keep you updated with this project.
outta here

I'm afraid that you aren't going to find much in the way of answers to your questions here, given the focus of this forum. What you SHOULD do, is this...
Build it to international Group N rules and leave it like it is...
Have fun, either way.

Can't help you with drag racing. For autox you will knock a lot more time off by taking a good driving school. If you keep changing your setup you'll never learn, save all that for when you're good enough to get full potential out of the car stock. You'll probably have a much idea of what you need by then as well.

Learn the stock suspension. You will love it, in time and save money for upgrades.
Look into a new set of tires, and learn your car.
In stock form it is a respectable competitor in anything. Although keep in mind this car wasn't built for drag
