I like this but I have no clue were those dials are from, but I am really excited you are goign ahead with this!
Thanks Jennifer. :)
Fantastic.
I have been very fortunate that my Beat responds without hesitation to my agressive driving and that it continues to offer that "over the shoulder" look - you know, after parking it and walking away, one final appreciation glance is an involuntary movement developing a smile. The Italian lines -Pininfaria.
Now, re the 'sleeper' powerplant installation. Provided with the proper chassis rigidity improvements are attended to, the handling capability will push the scale. Will the rear wheelwells be cut to allow 'meat' inside the stock finders? Also, will the front suspension be alltered (narrowed) to allow fatties inside these fenders? Ignorant of the street legal requirements, are you persuing track and street? Pls document the design progession.
Have patience.
excellent news em - glad to see progress being made! look forward to seeing more updates to your blog.
ill give kenzo a prod today for you :)

Love your comment about admiring your destruction :D
What influenced your choice of engine? Just curious cos I would've thought the K20 was the more obvious choice.
Back yard special put an integra engine in one, I just wanted to go one better
From the pic it looks like a h22, am I right?
You'll have a problem with traction, cause you'll have too much power. I know most wouls say there is no such thing but I'm serious. The 1.5 vtec 130 bhp would be enough.
I was driving a vti which is much heavier and she was still spinning in 2nd gear.
Just a thought
It's the H22A7, and don't panic we have considered these things.
I'm going to have to learn how to drive it, but we're putting wide wheels on the back hence the wide arch kit. Won't illiminate the problem but will help.
We'll also be altering the KPI angle to give us a larger scrub radius to help grip and road feedback
OMG!
You fitting a parachute?
PW
looks a bit different from last friday night!
hope you've got engine right way round:):help:
Wow thats overkill. Goodluck and be carefull.
lol @ Old'uns.
I think Jamie (the Boyfriend) will be test driving it first. I think he'll have to be the insured one on it as I'm a bit too young. It'll still be my beat in spirit despite what the V5 might say lol
It's all things to sort out in the future, I'm not worried
Please excuse my ignorance. What is an H22A7?? Is it out of a Type R?
Yes the Accord Type R
Girl, you got cojones... Astonishing. :eek:
I am very scared by the prospect, but salute your ambition.
I'm interested in your change in kingpin (steering axis) inclination, as I studied suspension, steering and vehicle dynamics at uny. Are you increasing the angle to help compensate for wider tyres, and if so, how? I guess the only option is to fractionally lengthen the wishbone, as moving the strut mount at the top would require a lot of work. I'm surprised it's worth it for the effort required in making longer wishbones.
