good work Phil what front discs you using? The Itb;s look good

Evo discs had to ipen up the centre bore 1mm though but that didnt take alot.

Itbs look nice but sit alot lower than i thought they would.

what size discs then and i take it you have brembo calipers? have you thought about what filters or filter your going to use for the itb's or are you running them open?

320mm x 32mm, using hi spec monster 4 calipers. No though about a filter, probably get a filter screen for the itbs.

Wow 1st time I've checked in for a while and this jobbies gone all out crazy. Do you need me to get those windows down to nailsea then to get rid of your diy job?

Wasn't really for me dude, more to help othes out as once they have the measurements we'll just be able to order them.

Not much of an update, had to steal bits off her to sort the mighty starlet race car for this weekend but both of us got a decent result so worth it!

Ordered my ecu, a little left field but basically copying rich so should be ok!

Fuel lines made up to suit the fuel filter, fpr and itb fuel rail.

Well an update i suppose.

The preludes taken a bit of a back seater for a couple of months as i took up motorsport in a toyota! Its in the toyota sprint series which is similar to what @merlin does in the super lap series. I am currently car sharing with a mate.

So here she is when we bought her. A mighty toyota starlet sr 1.3







Then i bought another as spares, mainly for the gearbox and clutch but we've saved a fair few bits so far. £25 whole monies



She came on tein ha coilovers and a bucket seat small enough for a child but thats about it

I bought a new seat that, some mx5 wheels as the standard ones were buckled, some used 888s and front caliper carriers of a glanza with some yellow stuff pads my pal had on his mk1 mr2. Along with a front nd rear strut braces aswell as an adjustable panhard rod.
Then we went racing! Since then we have removed the power steering and a few other odds and sods

So how she looks now with the laguna splitter fitted.



Anglesey



Lined up at croft



Its a hoot to drive and put everyone else in our class to shame by a clear 2 secs plus beating everyone in the class above on its last outing.

More to do next year!
Next an actual prelude update

Xoxo

Some new wheels advan racing tc-IIs
Will probably end up on the civix for a few month before i trade it in !




These will probably be for my wet tyres or slicks dependant on the width of tyres i can get my hands on.

So ive been struggling with what to do ecu wise, i really wanted to go coil on plug for accuracy plus i hate the issues that come with using the oem dizzy.

After spying richs post on facebook i did the noble thing and copyied his setup! The bonus is the company that made his ecu are just up the road, plus they have a rolling road!

So the setup





Emerald ecu with custom honda harness allowing coil on plug.

All to work in conjuction with an AEM EPM and k20 coils



Just need to wire it all together!

[4thgenphil]

So i started to look at plumbing my bias valve in and had to re-do alot of lines, would have been easier if i did before i put the engine back in



There's even more under the car

And this is the sort of tuning i do!

Pic whoring



And finally picked this up from a legend who modified my mugen downpipe to a 3inch collector to match the rest of the system

an update!

(good one though)
Although I'm not sure how much use the little fire extinguisher trolley in the corner would be, if things were to go wrong in that test bay..?

Where does that Toyota series race, then?
