KiNK43 Posted November 28 Share Posted November 28 Hi, realise I've been a bit of a stranger here lately. Apologies. Hope the team is good, Glad to see still going strong. Thaught id pop in as been tinkering again. History repeating I suppose. This time gone for an ep3 and made a fast road car/semi track car. Baught late 2024 from Southampton. Got it back and realised it was originally from my local honda dealer. So it came home really. Complete Stock car well used but with plenty of history, not the best example but far from a nail. In the last 12 months. Ive done lots of bits. From tidying underside underside. Rebushed. Rebuilt rack. Powder coated arms. New everything really. New timing chain etc. Rebuilt the gearbox. Added lsd. Then started prepping for turbo. Quite a bit of work to do on these to make room for the setup as there's looms and lines everywhere on the bulkhead. Anyway lots of custom bits and 3d printed stuff later. And I won't say it's complete. Cus they never are. But it's a pretty wild little car now. Lots of fun. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

btjtaylor Posted December 1 Share Posted December 1 Beautiful car! LSD and eventually a turbo and is on my list of "eventually" plans for Phase 2 of my car (I best actually drive it in "Phase 1" first though...) Which LSD did you go for? I'm thinking a Quaife ATB might be the way to go (so my friend tells me anyway) but im undecided at the moment 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KiNK43 Posted December 1 Author Share Posted December 1 Thanks.. Suppose which diff depends on your budget and goals. I've put a black line helical diff in this. Seems to work as intended, however I did only choose it as got a fantastic deal on it. 350ish brand new delivered from somewhere. Matt Lewis racing possibly. Not aggressive at all but locks up when plant your foot. I've had a m factory race pack diff previously, that was very good. I believe quaife etc are bit steeper but often you get what you pay for. Obvs plates diffs are noisier and do wear out eventually. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quaife is about double the price ~£400 vs ~ £800. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KiNK43 Posted Sunday at 06:55 PM Author Share Posted Sunday at 06:55 PM Was gonna put some pics up of work from stock to this point. But can't upload pics anymore for some reason. Bit fed up with the weather tbh. Got some small jobs I'd like to be doing but s**tting it down all the while. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dr_broon Posted 17 hours ago Share Posted 17 hours ago Know what you mean about the weather. In theory winter's the perfect time to get sone jobs done cos the deck is off the road, but got zero motivation to do anything in the cold / wet / dark. @Dave any idea why Jake can't post pics? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
