Introduction from the UK
 
Hi All,
I've been looking at posts and information on this board for a while now. So I thought i would post an introduction from myself. As the title says I'm from the UK. I don't have a Jap car as such but, It is the same as a Civic made by MG-Rover. Many of the syspension components are the sme as the Civic but the engine and transmision are different. Added some Pics (if they work) ;D

Welcome, and it looks good slammed. What do those have for engines? There must be plans for a turbo setup right?! :D

Re:Introduction from the UK
 
The engine is a 1800cc alloy block and head with semi wet liners like some of the honda engines. Its 120 bhp standard. I am looking to put a turbo on when the waranty runs out. Rover build the same engine with a turbo as standard in the 1800cc. It puts out 190bhp, But i know there a a few over here who are trying to up the power. so far there up to 280bhp. The big problem is the cylinder liners crack when the boost is increased. So they are getting a new type of liner made that should not crack, but not cheap.
