Dean, KiwiXTR had told me about your car back when I sold the 911. I didn't give it the thought it deserved. I very nice sorted car and quick to boot. A credit to you. Would it lend itself to supercharging? Have you decided what to replce it with?
Thanks, there's a lot of blood sweat & tears....not to mention way to much money & time gone into it....
Yep supercharging was on my list of improvements, the fuel pump is a high capacity 255 ltr just for that reason and the drive shafts are extra beefy to take the 320 + hp these engine can produce with a SC & intercooler bolted to them....
:-( I need a Lotto win !!!!!!!!!!
The plan is to sell the Liz, put some money into the house and then start a race car build project which will most likely be an EG Civic with another Honda K20A (I know the engine so well) - makes for a very quick but affordable (if there is such a thing) race car. Perfect to go play in the SS2000 class or just hooning around at track days/hill climbs, but would really like to have a go at racing before the Jr absorbs all the funds !!
If you know anyone who wants a VERY quick car let me know.......
Civic EG + K20A Mmmmmmmmmmmm

A classic already and will only appreciate in value. I wonder what it will be worth in 10 years? www.trademe.co.nz/Browse/Listing.aspx?id=82907557

I don't know my Honda's all that well but this guy has had a few ex Hong Kong race cars for sale. The Yellow one he had listed before this one was a bit nicer and had a stack dash as well. www.trademe.co.nz/Trade-Me-Motors/Specialist-cars/Competition-cars/auction-84901408.htm
One of my staff brought a 98' Integra TypeR SpecR and I must say that it would be in the top5 rewarding cars I've driven. Very revvy as expected but with such a stiff and precise chassis and awesome brakes. Very much a drivers car. I've always been a RWD man but for a FWD it was loads of fun and quite rewarding. I was very impressed although all the writeups I had read pretty much backed up what I had felt. My employee is only 18 and was white and shaking after running the car down my road which is VERY tight and twisty. I told him the best mod for $1000 bucks was some driver training and not a monster tacho

This was for sale a while back and I had a good chat to the guy. Lots of work has gone into it and the build cost was huge.

www.trademe.co.nz/Trade-Me-Motors/Specialist-cars/Competition-cars/auction-87841085.htmThey've been discussed in the Kitcars section by people who have driven them. I've never seen them described as anything more than average in performance and ugly in the looks department.
