[speedy chris]

welcome nice mod list mate

 

[Vteker]

Thanks. Got lots and lots of upgrages going in the next few months.
Forgot to mention its a 2005 Ep3R with 54000K and it's daily driven but soon to be weekend car/trackday.

Nice car, what exhaust is that?

 

[Vteker]

Thanks dazzawest.That's a HKS 409 Hi-Power exhaust mate!!!

 

[dazzawest]

Thought you might say that, that's the system I want can't justify £500 + at the moment.

 

[Vteker]

I agree it doesn't come cheap but it's quality if I ever come to sell it surely won't loose too much which is a good investment.worth every penny the noise is amazing it even pops bangs and flames wether you going up or down the gears!!!!!
Where abouts are you base?

 

[Rosco 2.0]

Loving the bonnet!

 

[dazzawest]

Live in flackwell Heath at the moment (near high Wycombe)
Yea heard the noise they make on YouTube videos, think I'll have to bite the bullet and get one. Nothing else really fits the bill to what I want.
Did you buy the car like that or have you done the work yourself?

 

[Vteker]

Thanks Rosco, I sprayed black plastidip , instead of wrapping mate black vinyl!!
The scoop on it is for when I install my supercharger kit which I have sitting in a box so the scoop will feed the intercooler with outside air, honestly I just can't wait!!

Hey, dazza I live very close to Chiswick ,London and wouldn't mind meeting up at some point and showing you the car. There's the Ace Cafe nearby me and it's a bikers/ car type dinner place and run events like max power night, jap night ect and i feel at home there. Better than having a beer and meal in a pub ect because you get to see mad bikers on weekends (sunny days)doing burnouts outside pulling wheelies and the smell of rubber definitely makes my day!! It's open during the day so it's a perfect place to meet at anytime and enjoy it!!
My car was standard when I bought it and I'm so glad I bought it that way has I've witnessed what the mods do to the car as I keep adding them!! The HKS is quiet when you drive it easy on the throttle and oh my.....when you hit full throttle than vtec kicks in it just blows me away and it sounds like a race car. I'm not cutting corners when it comes to this car, I'm putting quality parts in it cos it makes me smile even when I fire it up!! I tend to keep it till I'm a pensioner because I have Honda DNA in my blood!!(you can blame Ayrton Senna For that)
There's so much I want to do to it at the same time but personal commitments are slowing me down abit, but at the moment I'm working on some aerodynamic changes to it, like full blown rear diffuser, also a vortex generator just in front of the rear spoiler, also will be making a flat aluminium under tray and some canards on the front of it, all inspired by DTM cars and A.Senna which I love so much and have been a huge fan since I was a little kid!! I've learnt so much through Ayrton driving techniques that sometimes I think He's in the car with me when I'm heel and toeing to his style of driving, so this project is dedicated specially to him and his family!!
And I will make sure my car gets magazine cover as a huge tribute to my hero!!

Ace cafe's not that far from me, definitely up for a meet at some point. Fair play for doing the work yourself, supercharger will be awesome on it, does it affect reliability much?

 

[Vteker]

Thanks.Reliability won't be an issue mate but a good tune will see the car with about 350whp and more with water/methanol injection on stock block and with high compression, its like running race fuel all the time even if you only run 95octane fuel. Keeps all the internal parts of the engine nice and cool and intake charge drops dramatically and will suppress detonation!!
Go on YouTube and type aem water injection and you'll get an idea of how it works.
Maybe we should organise a meet when spring comes and the weather is not so rubbish and cold!!

 

[dazzawest]

Yeah know how water/ methanol works, 350 will be mental in a type r.
Yeah definitely wait until the weather improves a bit. You a mechanic or is this a hobby?

Hello, Nice mods Vteker, bonnet looks cool!

Just can't wait, until aerodynamics are all sorted then I'm going for it!!
My uncle used to be a mechanic and a bloody good driver so that's where I got the bug from as we had a race track right in front of the house. At the moment it's a hobby but one day I would love to make a living out of it.
At the moment I'm working on some aero parts for my car and when I'm done will be putting the R through some tests and if it works will share some of my research with you guys.

Hello, Nice mods Vteker, bonnet looks cool!

Thanks Jay, have you got some pics of your car mate would love to see them.

Yes have some pics, but you have seen them already so this reply is outdated lol...car is fully stock at the mo

 

[lynsey]

good job done there nice

 

[Vteker]

Hi guys just a quick update on my car. Fitted Mugen style aluminium front splitters/diffusers and I'm awaiting some canards to arrive.
Also got my rear diffuser installed!
So here's a few pics, comments criticism more than welcome guys!!
Car on the ramp and test fitting prior to drilling holes to lower lip section

Clamped it to see how it looks

Another pic from the side

Once happy where it goes I got the black&decker out and drilled some holes!

A shot of the drilled holes! Sorry for picture quality, bloody iPhone camera!


Then began to put it together with new m 8.8 bolts nuts and washers



Then I had to cut of the top of the bolt off as to create enough gap for fitting back to bumper

Nothing beats a grinder for dental work!Sparkling job!





After all that fun its time to put it all back


.......to be continued!!
