    How long has your clutch lasted

    Original clutch for me, afaik anyway ... done ~142k, ~6k on a stage 1 map ... I do a lot of foot down round town, because of the noise it makes, but has to be said that at least 75% of the miles I cover is motorways/dual carriage ways and big A roads, usually in the middle of the night with...

    Lowering

    So weird, I go there all the time, is my local gas/electric top up place !! The accord isn't off the road, and won't be till scooby is on the road, and scooby won't be on the road until january, probably closer to the end than the beginning ... I would have a go myself if it were summer, I...

    Lowering

    It gets stranger, I actually live in Tylers Crescent in Hazlemere, the sign for Tylers Green is in the next road as I'm sure you know !! High Wycombe is an approximation of location ... small world ... I'll try to slow down so you can keep up, I didn't want to sell, I thought I was looking at a...

    Lowering

    Just that I've got time off over xmas, so wanted to get it done before I'm too busy ... My normal guy said £300, the place that done my MOT said £150, but they'd need the car for a morning, which is a huge pain in the arse. I'm in High Wycombe, but don't mind a drive to get it done, if it's...

    Better turbo

    I sent an email to kestral yesterday .... waiting to hear back from them, good to read from people that have already gone down this road though ... thanks ... Dan pointed me at kestral, also someone to make me an IC, but before I look at an IC, I'll be dismantling the front of the car and...

    Better turbo

    Well depending on who you ask, more power is available on stock internals, so not much need to look for such engineering companies as yet ... I'm obviously hoping by the way that I won't need to have anything engineered ... I didn't know there was such a lack of parts ... It'd odd because more...

    Better turbo

    Weeeeell, I didn't say I wanted fuel economy, I said I'd be surprised if fuel economy could be achieved once modified ... I think I am being realistic, ~250bhp from a modified engine that can develop ~192 bhp on standard internals is quite realistic and have already said I'm willing to have...

    Better turbo

    Thanks for all the tips chaps, but some of you are totally missing the point ... the whole idea is a modified diesel ... more power is available from a petrol version of the same car, but it wouldn't run on diesel and would be ten to the dozen .... something different, something different that...

    Better turbo

    Ok excellent, at least a plan has been formed .... if you can get back to me with price for day on rolling road I can add that to the list ... Dont let the misses hear you using the words burn and money in the same sentence ... I'm persuing my interests, not burning money :D

    Better turbo

    Excellent news, I could settle for 220 ... for a while at least ... Any pointers on companies that would manufacture or supply said clutch kit and or IC ?? brakes/chassis (ride related, not actual subframes !!)/suspension are either easy to find, or can be taken from another honda with more...

    Better turbo

    Ok good ... so then, say I get the IC & Fuel pump sorted out, can elite supply a map to take advantage of those alone, without putting extra pressure on the turbo, and I'll see where it goes on a dyno ( and a few months of durability testing ) ?? or would elite be able to supply a map that's...

    Better turbo

    Not really looking for economy, or not as much as I'm looking for power ... think of it as a technical excersize ... just a project, the only desired outcome is power, if there's any way to make that economical, I'll be shocked, but it'd only be a bonus ...

    Better turbo

    I can only find civic ones on ebay ... I found one the other day that said accord, 6 paddle ... I knew I'd need one of them, top of my list ... Is the turbo really "easy" ??

    Better turbo

    I'm told I'm mapped to the limit of my turbo, fair enough, but need a new turbo though ... http://www.turbobygarrett.com/turbobygarrett/products/turbo_kits/GM_Duramax.htm how about that, name I recognize, don't know much about what I've got, might be a stupid suggestion, please forgive me if it...
