bit more on the project

ordered the new grooved and drilled discs, axxis semi ceramic pads and stainless brake lines, going to order a new master for the brakes too (may as well have a complete overhall (can you still get caliper kits?)
noticed the clutch is loosing a very very small amount of fluid so ordered a new slave and master also a stainless clutch line

had the windows tinted sat but the guy has had to order a large piece to do the rear in one, so i have left the fronts out (have spare glass) but the rear quaters look nice, should be done next week

new ITG air filter arrived today should be a lot less restrictive than the K&N, pip said i was loosing 15 BHP because of it!!
didn\'t have many options as weber vertually sits on top of the engine

speedways do replacement calipers on a return basis. I swapped out the discs, pads and calipers on the rear not too long ago and it made a huge difference !

Well the 13b is in the car, all plumbed in. Gas carb sat on a 65mm Throttle body on top of a rx4 13b manifold.

Just need to top the oil up in the gearbox, sort the throttle linkage out, Get the exhaust back from pip. Its booked in to be tuned next Wednesday

Hoping to fire it up for the 1st time on Monday if all goes to plan

:Giggle thanks oldone, i know your a big fan of the IDA, i wish i had gone that way from the start but hay i had the carb so on it went (hungry for more power now though!)
i was happy with the runs i made showed a couple of Honda\'s old skool can still do it, thinking about ditching the turbo idea (running non turbo rotors so seems pointless without a good engine set up for it)
may have to consider some 48\'s or 50\'s instead now!!!
i know Carl has 3 48\'s on his 20B he wants to upgrade to 50\'s!!
