Well i have had my car back from MSC for a little over a week now and thought i should report on how its going
1st off i would like to thank the guys at MSC who have done a fantastic job on transplanting the honda engine plus supercharger into my car its looks better than new and could easily have been a factory fit.Having used the car all last week to drive into work in London it has run faultlessly very docile in traffic, ive actually had to turn the heater on as the exhaust is no longer 4 inches behind me. Have lost the air con though which apparently MSC are working on a fix if really required, never used it anyway.Because i am sort of running it in and MSC wanted me to get used to the car 1st it is runing lower boost, but still around 260-270bhp, next week depending on weather conditions i will probably take it back and have the remap and smaller pulley on the SC which should bring it up to around 300-310bhp the difference is very noticeable i have been told. Acceleration is amazing, i went for a lightened flywheel also which makes the car rev so fast its tricky to keep track of the rev counter, the rev limiter comes in at around 8600rpm so i have invested in a DRE shift light which i need to get fitted. SC means no lag and to be honest having driven MSC demo and been out in randy’s it feels like a powerful N/A engine i dont think the character of the car has been effected in any way.So far i am utterly gobsmacked at how the car has turned out would like to say thanks to everyone at MSC for the brilliant job they did as you can tell im very impressed.Also somehow my boot space has increased so i can actually get things in there that used to bounce around in the front.Looking forward to croft, still have to sort out accomodation.Pic of engine installation, need to take a better one with someone holding up cover.
Anyone know what the noise limit is for croft, my exhaust is very loud now and have a feeling i will only get on a track with 105db limit.
Breathed on K series, Honda, SC Honda, Audi,…are we gonna have a slow lane at Croft for those of us with ‘as god intended’ original stock 177 cars I’ve come over all inadequate

But Ben, you are Walshy powered!
And Uldis is powered huge khooners!
Just think of the embarrassment for those you’re faster than.
Ok, time to probably say, it’s all about fun not who’s fastest.

me too and no walshy days for me either… … maybe we should hold hands or something…
ECSTA V70, medium compound.
Bought them sometime ago and never used them.
Well, mounted them and took them off when winter started, so haven’t done a trackday on them, and they’re too hard casing for town.
