My Other Car #3

[Spetz]

Hi guys,

This is my very first car, bought new in 2001 as a present. For sentimental reasons I have not sold it.

It has been unregistered for the past few years however I hope to get it going soon.

In 2004 I swapped the motor to a 6A12 MIVEC. In 2006 it has been fully rebuilt, balanced rotating assembly, ported & polished heads, race tuned HPC coated extractors, 2.5" mandrel bent exhaust, ported intake runners, bored plenum, 5mm oversize TB , raised compression ratio, FPR and an e-manage to tune it.

Gearbox is a JDM Cyborg RS short ratio box + Cusco 1.5 way LSD, Exedy HD clutch and a rally spec quickshifter

Suspension consists of Tein SS coilovers, whiteline strut braces, F&R adjustable swaybars, adjustable spherical links for the swaybars, and every single bush has been upgraded to Superpro items. Tires are 205-45-16 Bridgestone S-02.

Brakes are Evo III all round, FTO booster and master cylinder.

Interior is black MR, JDM dashboard, JDM climate control, FTO instrument cluster, black suede Integra Type R Recaro seats on Evo VI rails, Razo gearknob, and an Isotta steering wheel.

I have other cars now and hence this one has been ignored a bit but it has always been a lot of fun to drive hence my rekindled interest in it. My future plans include deleting the bodykit, new wheels and semi slick tires and maybe using it as a track car.

There are no power figures as out of compulsion after the engine was rebuilt the car was put into storage and has not moved in years.

nice, i remember seeing this in an article in HPI at a Ultimate Tunes day

Thought it was a really cool idea. +1 to tracking it

once upon a time a mate and I were contemplating doing the same swap into a mirage

Thanks guys for the comments,

Sir son of rajab Van, it must have been a different car to mine.

Depending on how fast (or not) it turns out to be I may build another engine for it but with cams, high compression pistons etc

This car reminds me of canberra cruises. Back in the old days before I crashed the soarer

Yes it's a shame the whole club seemingly dissolved
