Yeah you take an EG civic and a K24 from an accord or a CRV and a K20 head and make 200whp.

The Clio. so seem popular in the hill climbing crowd.

Apu - totally lost me there buddy. They are the Civic for Accord swaps? Don't have any personal experience, but have seen one racing and it is a rocket.

Yup, like Dann said. That'll give you ~150kW at the wheels with a stock engine and Hondata. Some guys get a bit more than that.

The EG Civic the BYP guys drag race ran 11sec (fastest was 10.98) and with a built engine, just run in, they've dropped into the 10s. The EG they ran at WTAC does 1:03 around Wakefield - no doubt a stripped out car, but a streetable version would only be a couple of seconds behind.

To give you an idea, a 1.6L EG Civic, was running ~1:13 at Honda Nationals...and that was the most base model Civic Breeze with a 1.6L transplant. They are a cheap, fun, spacious car.

Not really chasing Engine swaps etc this time around

Just good tyres, brakes and lots of fun.

I have looked at that ITB clio on OZrenaultSport.
Very tempting list of mods on that car.

Heart says yes but brain says wait a second... KEEP IT SIMPLE STUPID!!!

Ok, I am back in Sydney and time for the NA to go.

Just did a round trip of about 700ks using the car and had zero issues besides the cold start/low idle each morning for about 30 seconds till it warms up slightly.

Just gave it a quick wash to get the road grime off and only had my phone with me.
Here are a few pics.

I can take some with a real camera if anyone wants.
HardTop Optional Extra

(It is my Brothers)

I now have a glass NB softop with demister to install. I just need to attach a rain rail that i have and bolt it all in.
The soft top appears to be in reasonable condition with one patch due to a cut.

6 Months Rego
BP 1.8 Engine
NB Wheels with New Nitto NT555 Tyres
Standard 1.6 brakes
Soft top installed
217,000k

$4000

$4500 with SE Brakes.

Extra $800 for Hard Top.

I will Pm all who expressed interest before i went away for holidays to say i am back if you want to inspect.
I am located in Artarmon, Sydney.

ummmm so this happened !!

Day One impressions,
MX5 is built better.
MX5 is more fun.
MX5 is Dead Slow

Seriously, this thing brings a smile everytime i hear that Engine go nuts.
Will be interesting long term, but i am happy at the moment.
Need a real track adventure to test it out.

I can still play with you guys though, right??? :cry:
