I'll do either 266s with uprated mc or wilwood lites.
Want vtr rims so I don't have to spend a fortune on silly sized tyres and for the stealth look!

what competition is it? Sounds interesting
I think I might have an inlet manifold for throttlebodies for the honda engine sitting somewhere! Graeme bought it when he was going to fit a B16 engine to a 205...

B16 is a 1.6, no bigger than the vts lump, but delivers 185bhp in stock form on the B16b variant. Also the box has an LSD from the factory and 0-60 in the civic is reported to be c.5.7 seconds. Imagine that in a lightweight saxo shell

sweet im surprised more people havent done this then rather than going down the route of a vts conversion. cost wise if you were just going to be leaving the civic engine standard is it a lot more than a standard vts conversion
