Nice car , just needs a bit of Mugen to finish it off.
Front lip and catback exhaust would do the trick
Considering the front lip as it happens. Quite like the noise this Toda makes though, but do love a Mugen exhaust.

A good day today (not just because I met jdm raven) arrived at Tgm nice and early as I was booked in with Romain at eurospec.
I wanted a fresh engine/gearbox oil change and also to remove the speedo converter which was currently fitted as it still had the limiter on it. It turned out to be a speedm8 one which was fitted under the fuse box, these specific ones should be fitted inside the dash as they are not waterproof, so I had bought a cartek one which is now fitted above the gearbox and works well. Tom was not impressed with whoever had fitted the speedm8 as it was done poorly according to him. Never mind all good now.
So, fresh gbox and engine oil , need to book in for spark plugs and valve clearances along with an Mot by the end of the month. Unfortunately Tom didn't have time to fit the intake scoop.
" Wtf "
New one being fitted.
Then the Toda decat was fitted.
Mugen oil cap.
The I made the trip to eurospec. New convertor much more accurate according to the gps reading.
I noticed the car was much more responsive already !
On the rollers.
Base run.
Quite rich as you can see (decat)
After a couple of hours.
240 at the fly and 180ft-lb of torque. Which I'm very happy with, the car pulls great. Romain thinks it may need a tweak when the intake scoop gets fitted, but was very impressed with the figures the car managed. I'm lead to believe that's a greet figure for eurospecs dyno.
Mods - Toda decat- Toda cat back - m&m honda box (which is more or less like an oem box without the scoop fitted by the brake resonator)
Hats off as always to Tom and his team at Tgm, so grateful to have them more or less on my doorstep.
Credit to Romain who has done a great job of mapping the car too !

Sexual. And some very good starting point modifications. When I was looking at bits for one I'd amassed a shopping list of over £35k's worth of parts. :lol:

Just a base map or a tune? If the latter, who did the work?
