RAC - DTEC - Driver Tuning Session - 27th Sept 2015
Took the Evo out last week to test out her current potential, just a general "make sure the build went alright" sprint run. Wow, happy with the new power made after the tune. The old girl accelerates much quicker. I'm still getting used to the power, hopefully get better lap times in the near-future.
One of my practice runs.
And here are some photos taken by my mate's partner. Thanks Andrea!

1996 Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution IV CN9A build-Part 1
Taken at JDMWA 2015 Mother's day cruise/meet. Credits to Hiroshima Screamers |
Bought this Evo IV back in 2009, mainly came with a usual few mods air filter, blow-off valve, exhaust muffler and wheels. Started off first with the process of de-modding the car, replacing the existing setup with parts i preferred, as well as carried out existing repairs that the vehicle required.

EU3 Honda Civic Modulo Exhaust Muffler
The Honda Modulo muffler which i won on Yahoo auctions Japan arrived today. Since i had the day off decided to head off to a mate's workshop to borrow his hoist to get it fitted.
Ooohh Nice! |
OEM Stuff |
I find that its sitting abit low after fitting it to the car, the gap is probably allowance for the rear skirt. Mmmm... ( I think its time to 'fill in that skirt gap').

Finally got the old banger tuned early this month after 6 long years of owning/(slow)building it.
Many thanks to the boys at Tokyo Motorsports.
240kw ( 321HP ) at the wheel hubs. I'm pretty happy with the results

Honda EU3 Civic lowering springs mod
Fitted these Eibach Pro-kit springs, dropped about 30mm in height.
More information on these Springs can be found here:
http://eibach.com/global/en/products/street-performance/performance-springs/pro-kit
These springs come progressive, great when you want to lower your vehicle but yet want to retain the comfort. Have had these springs for about just over a month now, and i must say driving the Civic feels much better now. Handling has greatly improved over stock. Less squat during acceleration and braking and also less roll during corners.
Watch this video by the guys from mightycarmods.com on how to install your lowering springs the correct way if you intend to DIY it.

2002 EU3 Honda Civic
This is my (wife's) daily commuter, an Aussie-delivered 2002 EU3 Honda Civic VI 5-door Hatchback. Purchased in June 2015.
Sporting a 1.7 D-series SOHC VTEC engine, this small econo-box suprisingly puts out 95kw (128HP) at the crank and yet delivers excellent fuel economy. Its not fast, but it handles well.
At the moment it is still factory standard except for a drop in panel K&N air filter (cleaner).
