96 Honda Civic Type R EK9

Image
After the NSX R was introduced Honda introduced the 96 Integra Type R which was the pinnacle of the DC2 series as Honda incorperated their F1 knowledge to improve the already fast GSR. No long after Honda introduced the Civic Type R or also known as thr EK9. The EK9 maybe a 1.6L but it is actually using the B18C block(taller than the B16A) from Integra but is rebadged as thd B16B because the shorter throw from the crankshaft but with longer conrods to compensate the extra height of the block. With this knowledge in mind a tuning company called K-tech which also makes engines for Seeker took a different approach to the engine design by installing B18C crank that has a longer throw which will make the piston protrude out of the block so they make their own shorter piston. This means the engine will have a longer throw n stroke. Since the B series are interchangeable the owner installed a B18C block which is most cost effective power improvement that can be done as B16B pro

BMW E60 M5

The BMW M-Series are the ultimate driving machine built for performance and ultimate driving pleasure. This is my 2nd experience with the M-Series previously with the E92 M3 with the Naturally Aspirated V8 now here we have the E60 M5 with a bigger V10 engine. BMW's eagle eye is very well known at the time.  This M5 is pretty well spec'ed with carbon trims all over in the interior.   The M5 with its little brother the E46 M3. The M5 M-powered V10 powerplant. The S85B50 produced by Thomas Shears is a high-revving engine designed to utilize power from a wide rev band. Having a redline of 8250 rpm, it achieves over 100 bhp (70 kW)/litre. The S85 features a very high compression ratio of 12.0:1, exceeding the previous  S54 's ratio of 11.5:1. It produces over 100 hp more than the previous E39 4.9liter V8, whilst weighing only 2.2 pounds more.

HKS Subaru BRZ

This is probably the best local BRZ in town. Fitted with the best parts from HKS and probably the only 1 currently HKS Supercharged locally pushing over 250hp tuned by Seed Racing Japan. Lowered on HKS Hipermax coilovers with Gramlights wheels.  Its also been treated with the full HKS exhaust system from the manifold all the way to the muffler with the CF tip.  HKS Supercharger

So my friend wanted the 2 red heads to meet up, a rare sight, it was raining but we went on. Luckily when the shooting starts the rain stopped. These two cars looks nothing alike, but they share the same formula, a light FR thats fun to ride and a good base for modifications.      The TE37 replaced the OEM wheels fits nicely with the meaty rubber.  Authentic TRD canards adds downforce and also improve the look of the stock front end.  Genuine Work Equip wheels fits nisely on the AE86  Nothing like the sound of the trumpets from a high revving, 20v 4AGE engine

Brunei's Best Euro R

 When i say its the best, its just my personal opinion because its not many people like the Accord Euro R because its a sedan and some say its heavy but what a lot of people didnt know is that according to Spoon's Tatsuru Ichishima, they chose to go with the Accord for their race car compared to the Ep3R, DC5R is because of its independent suspension setup.  According to him, the suspension is easier to tune without going overboard on the stiffness. Whereas the EP3R, DC5R and FN2R went with the torsion beam rear suspension.  The CF GT wing and rear diffuser are some of the parts that make this car unique.  The Euro R is also powered by the same K20A form the Type R with improved intake manifold setup. How ever for this ride, well.... lets just say it has more grunt.  One of my favourite intake the GruppeM with its high quality Carbon Fibre enclosure. Eventhough it has an R, it doesnt come with the Brembo brake kit so the owner opted to replace the O
