    Am I really wrong for being annoyed that your putting a Honda engine in?

    Looks like a great project tho, I'm sure it will be a stormer. Great engines.

    @Micky1 Its a OBP Pedal Box. Quality doesn't seem to bad, I had to moddify
    the pedals themselves, were way to long. handy done tho.
    Can't see running into any big probs, will see how it goes

    @ vento Mike
    Not to every1's taste but sure who cares :lol:
    I had a fully rebuilt and tuned 2lt 16v (9a) for it but desided to
    sell it any get sumting else. Can't really argue wit 220bhp
    standard would have to spend a few bob on the 9a to get that.

    She runs [:D] Eventually got a good jump on the wiring and got her running
    over the weekend. Once got the fuel system primed jus loaded a basic map
    onto the ECU and turned the key (well pushed the buton) and up she fired.
    Great to have her actually running at long last.
    Nxt major tings on the list is Exhaust, custom drive shafts and Radiator.
    Getting the rad made nice and low to allow for TB's in the future.
    Will stick up few pics when get the home computer back from repair.

    the project looks nice untill you open the hood[:x] why you went for a honda high reving, no torque, unreliable engine?

    @8916vlover I'm a big VWhead had them all my life, But this car is purely for the
    track and them Honda engines are made for the track and i wanted sumting
    different. Nd they are a very reliable engine. Anyways i really don't care if
    people don't like it cause it has a Honda engine so

    @coullstar, my thoughts exactly
