lol, at the time the almera gti was the civic type r's main rival, its a wolf in sheeps clothing (the almera that is) would still give a shitvic a good run haha

i drive something different on here, also a type-r rival

cowrolla i presume?

'Rolla T-sport ftw.

my mate had one... rapid! 1.8 close to 200hp?

near enough, 1.8 -190bhp

seeing as the coilovers are now sorted out, i stared work on my back box

an almost 100% shiny fuji, couple hours should have it spotless

lol at the finger

i should have the steelies back next week!

great work dude, impressed at how well the coilovers have come up. backbox looks spot on too

thanks dave, hard work really gives a good end result. the back box needs a bit more work but i think im being too anal

Honda's B18C - 1.8 - 197BHP - with older technology

Honda's K20A - 2.0 - 220BHP - (same age as the t-sport)

Honda's F20C - 2.0 - 240BHP - (same age as the t-sport)

Honda still seem to be able to be leaders in the field of NA. shame they toned down the K20A2 in the UK Ep3, to just 200bhp, and a non LSD gearbox.

my mate works as a mechanic at the Wolverhampton Toyota's dealership, he loves honda's but says the t-sports are right up there with them.
i like them alot, something less common than the run of the mill ep3

just to add that Nissan's SR16VE - 1.6 - 197BHP was the most powerful 1.6 engine made.... until the S2000 engine was produced, or so ive been told

i love that design, very subtle. domeg6 on here had one on his white eg civic, looked and sounded fantastic! almost like an enlarged ITR back box

the most powerful production 1.6 NA engine isthe B16B in the EK9 - 187bhp.

the N1 version of the SR16VE made 197bhp, as opposed the the normal SR16VE that made 175bhp, but it was made in very limited production, only 200 units.

it wasn't a production engine, so they didn't have to compromise performance with reliability etc, that most manufactures producing an engine for a production car have to do.

still, thats HELLA impressive for an NA SR, woul love to drive one lol. would be a world away from the SR20DET in my s14a, it didn't seem to have much power off boost

yea, its a really nice sound off it, really raspy
