So finally have my ride on wheels!
Made a little modification to my suspension to get more low:
And some not so good pics with new rims:
One day planning to take off the mud flaps and see how low I can get :cool: Now like in picture my exhaust is ~40mm from ground and scratches everywhere :cool:
Ronal Turbo's are a good example of Genuine wheels that are affordable and good quality. Makes me wonder why people still buy XXR and Japan Racing stuff.
Last weekend there was a stance event in Latvia. Friend made it up and asked me to come. Wasn't so fun and just wasted my day, but at least got some good pics:
And my favourite one:
Lately I have spent all my money in this beauty and now I am waiting for my last package to be shipped from USA. I will post my plan as soon as I get all parts with me.
that looks fun man i really need to get my ujoints fixed and hit the snow! what kinda tires do you use in the snow ? they look like they can be a little more gripy-er

You are absolutely right about tyres They are old peace of sh*t I guess they where made on 2007 But I don't have now so much power, so I drive with these, last year they had almoust all studs, but now none studs.. I will change them when will start the real winter.. Non studed would be Good Year Ultragrip Ice+, with studs Good Year Ultragrip Ice Arctic or Pirelli Ice Zero
cant wait to se some snow-nuts with that compound action im curious to see the build so plz keep up on it with good details!
Ofcourse I will keep up, no one have actually tried this setup on Hondas.
I plan to get full boost @ 2.5-3k rpm (will see what happens in real life vs calculations)
The progress turned out to be veeery slow :miserable:
Took out engine on 25 of December and putting together new one, this happened :disturbed:
3 of 4 pistons was correct, but one was factory failure.. So this fucked up all my plans, because it was long holidays till 5 of January for every one. Contacted wossner dealer in Germany where I bought these on May, and they agreed to replace, but I needed to ship them mine first! Now I have received new ones, all the same! That's good! Thanks to wossner.
So there was no hurry in holidays at all. I made up a place for intercooler and new mounts for smaller radiator.
And because of free time, this happened:
Cleaned all rust places below the car and all over where can I find some.. Also welded some useless holes, so it's prettier. And did some paintwork:
And yesterday my mechanic said that the lsd what I bought won't fit, because axels won't fit, today will go and check what kind of lsd is that and which axels fits in, maybe it's for B series

First time in my life parted out head on my own (with friends consultation of course)
Didn't mention, but I bought y8 intake manifold for my project, because I only had A6 manifold and this one will be better for turbo:
Cleaned the head and manifold:
Decided to make ENDYN block posts, not putting in block guard:
And last 3 month I have driven without my interior, because I was changing front seats to more comfortable ones:
All 4 mounts to both seats are remade, so I can fit the seat maximum low, because I am very tall guy
Here I am putting back together interior:
And these are the seats (don't have a pic yet, how they look inside the car, will take it some day)
Thats it for now..
