Snoozin Posted March 17, 2009 Share Posted March 17, 2009 I got this. Only pic I have of it right now. 2001 Honda Torneo Euro R (made after the Y2K bug so it's future proof as) I'm the second NZ owner, the guy before me did a whole lot of stuff to it. H22A-R with disgusting bright red cam cover Ported/polished head 40 thou planed off head Ferrea valve upgrade Skunk2 valve springs Skunk2 titanium retainers Skunk2 Pro series inlet manifold - port matched Skunk2 Pro series 70mm throttle body TRR 4-2-1 headers - port matched 2.5" loud-spec undertank exhaust Hondata S300 ECU Cold air intake w/cold air box and custom bumper ducting MSD ignition Solid urethane engine mounts Fidanza lightweight flywheel Puck clutch T2W4 helical LSD gearbox (rebuilt) D2 platform adjustables Brembo front 300mm rotors Hawk HP+ pads on all 4 corners EP3 Civic Type R 17" wheels It's a bloody nice rapid cruiser, ran 164kw atw and has done a 14 flat quarter @ 102mph. Next development is to get the suspension how I like it - this is going to mean camber kits front and rear (will need to fabricate, not much is available for the CL1 chassis) so I can set it up to be relatively taily and give super duper turn in. Taking it to Manfeild on Sunday to compete in the 4 n Rotary Jamboree Superlap event. Won't be fast but dead keen to get some track time with it. Also came with spare 17" Civic rims as on the car normally with Toyo R888 semis. Enjoying owning a Honda again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DB8-TypeR Posted March 17, 2009 Share Posted March 17, 2009 Just watch that gear box!! This car was such an awesome deal, I saw it in matamata a few months ago and it looks cool, wouldnt expect the power Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snoozin Posted March 18, 2009 Author Share Posted March 18, 2009 are the boxes a bit weak? sounds mint. when does it make power? rev limit? Bet it sounds choooice. 5th gear synchro's have a habit of pooing their pants, which results in wear on 5th and reverse gears... Revlimits about 8300rpm, makes nice gobs of power from around 4500, I rev it to 8000 generally. It's fucking loud. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snoozin Posted March 23, 2009 Author Share Posted March 23, 2009 1:28.00 around Manfeild yesterday, I ended up 17th overall in the Superlap results. Silly sticker across the front windshield was event sponsors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikuni Posted March 23, 2009 Share Posted March 23, 2009 Silly sticker across the front windshield was event sponsors. You should have asked for a free link in that case! It looks real flat on the corners. Kind of jelous of such a lush/fast/dorty daily. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snoozin Posted March 23, 2009 Author Share Posted March 23, 2009 Sold the ITR a while back, Ronny was probably the faster track car it was a lot more chuckable, the Euro is quite heavy and you notice it going into corners. It does however have a way more flexible torque band, and would have stomped on Ronny top end wise. I think with some suspension tuning it will become a lot more formidable, it's been about 8 years since I drove on Manfeild so for essentially a first time out in a car I've owned for less than a month, I'm happy with the time I managed to get out of it. I reckon with some more experience, and a brush up on my skills it has a mid-high 1:26 in it, was running on semi slicks front, Direzza road tyres on the rear which was actually quite weird.

It looks real flat on the corners. Kind of jelous of such a lush/fast/dorty daily. I was surprised how flat it cornered, race weight would have been approx 1400kg with me, 3/4 tank of fuel, and all fluids in it. I ran it with full interior, including spare wheel mostly cos I cbf stripping it cos it'll just rattle when I put it back together. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unclejake Posted March 23, 2009 Share Posted March 23, 2009 1:28.00 around Manfeild yesterday, . FUCK!!! It is obviously fast and you can obviously drive man.Congrats. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Truenotch Posted March 25, 2009 Share Posted March 25, 2009 It's interesting seeing the different reactions between real racers and boy racers toward that time... boy racers = "1:28 is rel slow aye! My BF did a 1:15.2 in his Evo7 with 280KW atw" (He actually did a 1.18.5)... Where as anyone who knows the track and what it's like taking road cars out there respect that a 1:28 is fast for a heavy NA road slug. Do agree that it has a 26 in there with 4 semi slicks and a bit of playing + seat time. Looked sweet out there, and had fun giving you the enthusiastic green for superlap..
