What brand lip is it and where did you get it?

[86psi]

It's from epracing on eBay it's made by goki

Was goin to buy a few and sell them to cover the cost of freight spewing I didn't I'm sure they would have sold quick

[evo-gsr]

Oh...i thought i read somewhere, which you had posted, that they wouldn't post to Australia? How did you convince them otherwise?
Either way..looks good!! How much was postage also??

[ONPSI]

Well for a start the postage on there eBay add is for the uk only. They would give warranty on the item being shipped so far away so I took a gamble also the freight cost more then the item but I didn't care I wanted it

If anyone wants to know the rims are 18x7.5 et42 with 215/35 tyres and I can slide my index finger between the rears and control arms. I reckon I could fit 225's on there no problems at the current height the tyres are federal 595's and the height is 100mm of the ground to the front lip. Thought I'd post this up incase anyone reading this thread wants some more width and bigger. As for handling it's a bit rough doesn't take corners as hard but I think it's launching harder launched it the other day at about 6500rpm didn't bog down or spin just went hard so very happy.

Have a new setup I'm putting together so thinking a e85 tune to it's limit to see what she runs aslong as I don't break the driveline I'm right as new engine is getting ready stay tuned for more updates as this car will def run 10s next year

[86psi]

Over the last few weeks the car has come along in leaps and bounds and should be getting fired up in the next week or so.

I will throw up some progress pics as soon as i get a chance

[86psi]

ok here are some pics as promised its slowly progressing mods done are:

forged bottom end
ati balencer
ported head with bigger valves,spings and gsc cams
fp86hta with tial gate and shearer manifold
cpc race plenum
hdi intercooler
trust oil cooler
alternator relocation kit
52mm 3 core alloy civic radiator

i also resprayed the engine bay aswell while she was out. its getting there just need to do some pipework and some wiring and will go for a fire up. anyway enjoy the pics

[ENGINR]

Looking good - it's a worthwhile thing cleaning up the engine bay whilst the motor is out, much easier!

Is that Todd's (runuts) old exhaust manifold and turbo setup?

[86psi]

Yeh sure is Todd also built the head for me

[111GSR]

This is such a sexy ride!

Any OH issues with the civic rad ?

[Qik-1.8]

nice mate looks awsome

[DIESTI]

Looking good. Why is there a hose clamp around your oil filter??

Also be careful with driving your car in heavy traffic with a half size radaitor... my evo 3 had a full size PWR and still had troubles in heavy traffic.

[86psi]

Thanks everyone

The hose clamp is lock wired on so the filter can never rattle loose

Yeh I'm a little skeptical bout the radiator but then again have never had problems before but will take it as it comes I guess

[3zercrowd]

Sweet as!

Next Sat last drag meet at Townsville.

You better be racing it!!!!!

[86psi]

Wish I could champ but won't have it ready by then

[86psi]

Update time :-) everything is looking good so far and will hopefully get it started either today or tomorrow depends on how quick I can wire everything up .

[86psi]

So close cranked it over today to get some fluids through it found a small leak in the water pipe behind the power steering pump so that will be tomorrow's job plus a few other small things then I will go for a full start wish me luck. Oh added a few pics and below is a before pic

[86psi]

Not sure if anyone reads this but its alive finally its idling at 1600rpm due to running no isc valve but hopefully a trip to the tuners will get that running better
