picked up a set of Hasport billet engine mounts, look amazing.
Will be going on with the exhaust, cat, and gauges and then hitting the track for 2 days in early June, cant wait!
So went down to Collie for the supercruise and did a 57.0 on the last lap of the day, theres still a bit more in it.
The car is kind of between gears for a few of the corners there, and the way the power band is atm if you're out of VTEC then you're not going anywhere fast.
The car gave me a lot of confidence with its grip and responsiveness, was quite hard at the start of the day with no temp in the rear tyres, but dropped the pressures and helped a lot.
Gauges are in:
Engine temps peaked at 95 - barely above where the thermofans kick in, oil temps 110-115 but dropped pretty quick once off the throttle.
No turbo but 8500rpm+ gives the oil a fair workout.
Will post up a video later.
I ended up going for billet Hasport engine mounts with a 62A durometer rating - the softest of the options.
They certainly do transmit a fair bit more vibration to the chassis, but the reward is the throttle response and solidity, compared to the floppy shot factory ones it was a huge improvement.
Cat converter and Varex muffler also went on prior - great bit of kit!
Closed its volume level was similar to the twin-loop, and open, well it sounds pretty much racecar like inside now, even if its not fast
Really is the best of both worlds as driving down to collie with it that loud would have been painful.
next step: definitely need to look at the Hondata ECU, needs more torque in the midrange and some more hp up top would be appreciated too.
Then some more bushings and some valvetrain gear.
Abit hard. Their calling for deposits now to secure the date. It is only available for 25 people and there are only 1-2 spots left. A few hondas including mine will be there.
