Nice!
Is it out of a UK accord? 190bhp?
They make a few different versions with some very different power outputs
First they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out—because I was not a socialist.
Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—because I was not a Jew.
Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me.

yes 190 bhp with shed loads of torque ! I will be pricing it up for a xmas build if that's what I do.  Its a lot of money as its mounts drive shafts and I also have  1zz spare engine as a donor already ! the one thing that I like about the K swap is the unlimited tuning parts ! every time I am on youtube I cant stop watching the 900 bhp one in the states  s:scared: :scared: s:scared:   ! or will 250 -300 bhp be enough really would like a go in a 1zz turbo.

What is the primary purpose of your build?i think high reving NA is awesome for a track car but something turbo or v6 is more suited to the road. More torque.
Honda engines are awesome but if going turbo nothing wrong with a 1zz.
250bhp in a roadster is plenty you are in supercharged elise territory.
First they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out—because I was not a socialist.

I do 100% think you are right 250 bhpwould be enough. its just I wont sell this car so do I just go K24 run that and then when board with 200 bhp aspirated   (more torque than 2zz) then longterm go K24 turbo !!!!! easy 4-500 bhp !  really would like a go in a turbo car !

You can have a go in mine at ding day.
Only 230 odd but youll get the idea.

The latest k24 are aewsome.
205 bhp and 185 lb are great figures.

there are not enough swear words to say how the rear calipers went!

They are done now, things you need to know when buying a rebuild kit the pistons I was supplied have no inners.  you have to remove the old thread and its a impossible task the factory ones are pressed in.

a mate at a Toyota dealer saved me from loosing my mind, so I used the old pistons and as he advised they are fine and the new seals was what was needed , new OEM pistons a pair from Toyota £260 !!!!  s:crazyeyes: :crazyeyes: s:crazyeyes:

I spoke to them yesterday as I brought mine from them ? They never mentioned they sell this type ?
Any way I will see how they go with old pistons and if I need new I will get these.

That's a great help thanks JO3

Here is my take on all these coilovers available. For most of my life I have been around and competed in powerlifting at national and international level.  If anyone asked me about that I am your man.  On cars and suspension I know nothing and this was the point of the car enjoy learn and make me a better driver, I could have brought anything but I had been out in a car with 2zz and  Miester and was really impressed smooth and firm. Anyway a set of what I got came up and I was going to say know but then I thought the price is so good what am I doing ! So got them and by Ding day they will be set up and anyone can have a ride see what they think. They look well made and they are yellow so match the car lol

I think if members a willing passenger rides are an excellent idea. (Obviously i have been taking people for a ride for a very long time   s:wink: :wink: s:wink:  )
How many people do a mod they have never experienced?
First they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out—because I was not a socialist.
Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—because I was not a Jew.
Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me.
