I think my tuner will be either Rob from Definition Motorsport or 101 Motorsport, unless I can get Adrian up to do a tuning holiday if I can get the people for it.

I recommend Rob highly, he has done 90% of the local crews cars now. 101 used to have John as their honda specialist but now he's too busy to with work/life.

Yeah Rob seems to be the best pick from the hat. I still got plenty of time to plan anyways!

Now just made my order for my parts from Hybrid Racing with the sponsorship pack on top of that. I can't say how much I am saving from this, but it's gonna keep my wallet together!

Have all the Hybrid Racing Fuel Rail, Tucked Fuel Line, Fuel Pressure Gauge and Fuel Pressure Regulator so thats all the main bits! Probably wont get the FPR on just yet till my Blueprint Ported RBC comes to me so I can get the whole thing wired and ready to go with the injectors/fuel pump and what not. But hopefully all the stuff arrives by the end of the month since they are out of stock on nearly everything! Sucks but nothing can be done ...

Guys, I know I know, It's been quite some time ~ Happy New Year 2014 to everyone here!

I'm still waiting for my HR stuff to arrive due to a screw up with my engine mounts with Innovative (Innovative sent my mounts to someone else instead of HR). But I have arriving is;

Hybrid Racing Fuel Rail
Hybrid Racing Fuel Line Tuck
Hybrid Racing Fuel Pressure Regulator
Hybrid Racing Oil Cap
Hybrid Racing Sponsorship Pack
Innovative 60A Billet Engine Mounts

All should hopefully turn up in a couple of weeks! "fingers crossed"

RBC Ported Manifold, still looking for 2nd hand ones through forums ... budgeting $380 shipped! If you know anyone who can do that, lmk!

Hopefully I can get a proper update when the parts arrive. But here are some edited photos I've done to get framed up in my room.

Car is looking fantastic Stephen! Best of luck in getting the car tuned!

Nice update, finally!

Yesterday I recived my very late christmas present from Hybrid Racing. So glad to see the quality of the parts, such top notch. So great to be sponsored by the HR guys, they are great! Even though still missing some bits and pieces from my package, that will be sent out with my next shipment of parts from them (like 100 air fresheners, stickers, brochures, cards).

But today I decided to get my fuel stuff on ... I can't use the regulator because I have no use of it plus I don't have any AN fittings or braided lines yet to run a return setup. But that will be for later on, torwards my supercharging time.

So this is what it looks like before I did the change, looks plain and messy.

Took the battery, and air box out for more room

Took off all the standard fuel rail and lines from the hard line and replaced it all ...

Here you can see where I tucked the line, and how it mounts on the hard line. Quite easy, it's not rocket science to do this!

And volla, finished product. All tucked and neat .. looks great!

I will be installing the engine mounts over the weekend so I have my father around to help me with anything. Besides that I recently purchased a set of Endless Zeal Super Functions Type A Coilovers with spring rates F:14k R:20k if anyone was wondering. Instead of purchasing from Perfectrun JP, I ended up with a last minute decision and after long discussions with Steven from Centrax, I decided to buy it from Steven being a good friend and my top 1 mechanic. We came to an agreement with a price, but unfortunately I cannot disclose. You all would know these are expensive! I can tell you it did put a hole in the wallet. These are expected to arrive in 1 month, so will be waiting till then.

I had my eyes on these set of coilovers for a long time, couldn't go pass them at all. Comparing with Tein/KW/Ohlins/Aragosta and even MCA Custom Make Coilovers, but I think I knew it just had to be Endless, after using all their fluids and brake pads ... no doubt you get what you paid for! So hopefully my expectations are to get 58sec at Lakeside with these new suspension, it can be done I reckon. Want to achieve fastest FWD at Lakeside on semi-slicks. There is another guy Tim Ware who has done 58sec on slicks but has a built Toda motor, many of you would know and he is my goal to beat!

Anyways, I will have an upcomming photoshoot soon .. within the next 2 weeks or so but keep an eye out on these. Need to organise a date with my mate of mine who is a professional photographer.

Thanks guys, more to come soon!

Nice. I quite ofte hear that HR can never get the larger shipments right; ie they always seem to miss a few items... dunno why they cant address that issue..

[felixR]

Nice update Stephen

Looks good with the new fuel rail.

[eg5]

Good looking DC5

[Timmy_B]

Yeah looking good mate.
Its a good fuel setup. Nice and tidy and makes the bay look so much cleaner.
And DONT make the same mistake I did, I had a long list of jobs to do before i started the motor after the swap that I forgot to do and one of them was to tighten all fuel lines LOL.
Fuel leaked everywhere hahahah.
The guys at HR are extreamly helpful and I was so greatful to have them on board, as you are too.
