are your internals bone stock?

Yes

1. urethane bushings (not quite a stiffness upgrade but by far the best mod to get more feedback from your car)
2. swaybars
3. roll cage
4. reinforcement bars

This is video from a N/A D15 with a D15 gearbox with the 3rd and 4th gear of a CRX (same gearbox setup as mine)

Last week I hitted 225km/h at the gauge and I felt there was more left (I had to brake because a car was coming to the left haha).
Turbo setup and was driving at 195/50/15. Fifth gear is from a D15 / D13 gearbox (ratio 0.75)

It's indeed my car on the photo. My car is very stiff, especially since the OMP 10-pint cage in it, so I cannot judge how much more stiffer the car is with the bars. The bars are made from aluminium and their weight is almost nothing compared to the size. And the clearance is very good, the lowest p...

to sebastix: if you're planning to go turbo i recommend getting 330 or 440 cc injectors while you're at it. 240cc injectors with a Forced Induction setup won't be enough past 160-180 hp depending on AFR you are shooting for. Gheheh, I'm running turbo atm with my ITB's: good for 170whp and 188Nm now...

Sorry for not responding your email, but I'm too busy to answer that type of emails due my own work at the moment

Sometimes I just check some fora en posts something to help

Check out my howto OBD2b to OBD1.

Running it now for about 1,5 years I think

Don't know how much the compression is, the build block is not mine. It's from a friend and is building a D14 N/A Block is ready, head almost.
