I hate seeing this thread updated because it makes me want the car everytime I see it.

I will gladly let you kick me in the testes is you promise to take me out in it!

In all seriousness congrats OP because that car is an absolute masterpiece

Thanks for the comment, means alot!

Hehe, you can have it if you want! In all fairness ive had a few people wanting to buy it from all around Europe but at the mo i just cant bring myself to sell it.

Once its all up and running again if your around my area's id gladly take you out in it, without kicking you in the balls!! lol.

Haha! I'm not suprised you've had interest from all over europe and i'll happily take it off your hands if you don't mind being paid in buttons and in installments?

And thanks for the offer, i'll PM you as your whereabouts aren't in your profile

Been quite a while since i updated this.

Time to start making my 2012 changes on this car.

New clutch plates from clutch master, the others were far to aggressive on the road. These have arrived.

Brain crower stage 3 custom turbo camshafts, these arrive next week.

Engine is coming out, these parts are going in.

Making a few changes to the engine mounts, possibly relocating the alternator, once engine is all back in and hooked up Oil cooler is being replaced and moved into the left wheel arch, Full size race rad is in place.

I removed the slam panel to make space for the Full size rad already, so i need new mounts for the intercooler.

Im also going for a new manifold, possibly top mount.

Then it will need aero catches for the bonnet to close - Remap and then all done

Oh the gearbox is in, and geared to 201mph @ 9500rpm. Im hoping to get to 185+mph.

Overall the car should be more driveable, spool up alittle quicker, make more power, make more torque (the most important), higher top end.

Looking forward to getting started next weekend

Amazing, keep it up. I'd love to see this car in the metal.

What sort of RPM do you get full boost in say 4th gear? Hows the lag?

[LiamM45]

Just read all 14 pages.

Absolutely fantastic car, and that's an understatement!

[CO2000]

Any updates for the beast !

Anybody know what happened to this?

Nice to see you're still making progress. (especially in the cooling department).
Very curious to see where you're going to top out!

I also have my own turbo Honda project where I hopefully I will be able to create a readers cars thread about.
I boosted my JDM '00 S2000 Type V. Mase turbo kit with Borg warner S256 turbo.
Currently on 10psi making 430 bhp / 300lb/ft torque.
It's great fun as well Already did a autobahn run with a friend next to me.. going flat out and quite quickly reached 170mph. Did I say we had the roof down? lol
I think I was almost at the end of 6th gear with another 10mph left or so.

Good luck!

Good question. Life got busy so i didnt really touch the ATR for ages. Its just been in storage. I have just been to the Nurburgring in my brothers EK9 pretty stock clocking 8:55's by the 8th lap . It kinda got to pull my finger out and get back on the ATR.

Ring Lap in stock EK9 - 1.6

http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedd...

So the ATR, the following work has been done:

Alan @ Solid Fabrication's has done this:

Equal Length Twin Scroll Manifold
3" or 3.5" Downpipe (cant remember)
Twin Tial 38mm Wastegates
Twin Screamers, these will shoot up through the bonnet vent to atmosphere (space issue)
Custom Single Peice Intercooler Pipe Work (no more hoses blowing off)
EGT Bung into Manifold
Custom Front Engine Mount
Custom Turbo Brackets
Intercooler Mounted
Custom Full Size Rad Brackets (Slam Panel Removed)
Koyo Rad Inlet & OutLet's moved

No i need to relocate the battery to the boot, get rid of any wiring and bits not needed, bolt everything together and get her re-mapped.

Previously she ran 505hp / 370lbft @ 1.3bar. Im not really after anymore than 500, however the drive of the car should change alot, more lower down power/torque, more torque midrange, peak should be 400lbft no problem. Might put a 600hp map on there for fun.

But otherwise thats it, im hoping to get her down to Silverstone GP circuit for a track day, well more of shakedown in November, then i can get an idea of it will be a good track car, if thats the case, cage, serious weight reduction, handling, will be improved over the winter.

Cheers

4 year already. longest car I've owned.

[MotorsportTom]

I remember searching for this thread a while back and couldn't find it!

Glad to see you still have it OP and if you do go to Silverstone for a TD I might pop along to see the car in the flesh.

It says it all with the statement "might put a 600hp map on it just for fun"

Indeed, plenty vids when it hits a track next

[SKM1984]

I remember drooling over this at Alan's when I had my exhaust done. Noticed the tax had been expired for years!

[Jaaack]

Glad it's still around! Way too many of these get modified, used for a year or two and then broken for parts
