K24 bottom end and K20 head, bigger RBC, full exhaust, Gruppe M would be 300BHP with torque to match... But cost G of Fastcar in the region of £8K for the rebuild...

TBH mate I havent, but dont know much about them! Is there not much clearance between them both? With the lowered suspension could be rubbing whilst put under load? I know my RARB kit may rub with standard dampers and the bar being 24mm (standard 19mm) - another reason for coilovers!
Jesus it really is expensive to do anything to these cars isn't it! Vts's are so easy to unleash power from.

What is yours running?

The Hondata ecu's are great and necessary if you're doing anything crazy but the +30bhp they advertise over a stock type r is simply due do dropping the vtec kick in. Would be lucky to have any major gains over standard during the vtec cam unless obviously you were running other things to compliment it.

Anyways... Dropped the car off for the wheels returning and spraying today, £200 all in which is fine. Gone for Honda's thunder grey!
