When I'm free, when I have money, I'd throw my cash and start building cars, I've built 2 cars before that were mine, and I've helped people build their engines to better perform their cars at Drag Racing events that are held at Sentul International Circuit, Indonesia. I've built a 2004 Honda City, but It didnt go so well...was my first attempt, then I sold it and bought a 1993 Honda Civic Hatchback, the fuel economy on this car is impressive, with only Rp 100.000 (Thats 9 Dollars) of Gas, I could get 11 Litres (Back in 2007) thats 3.5 gallons me thinks...Correct me if I'm wrong, I could drive from Jakarta to Bandung and Back, its that Efficient, I gave my car a paintjob, Painted it white, and swaped the Engine, a JDM 1992 B16A 1.6 Litre VTEC Engine that I shipped from Japan, built it with me and my buddies, Luckas and Ipang who were the owners of RODSMOTORING, I tuned it, and I raced it on the track at Sentul Circuit and I got 13.5 Seconds 1/4 Mile/402 Meters, It could do much better with better tires, I heard they opened a Track near Elkhart, If my car was there, I bet its the fastest Honda that creeps in the track.
The Specs on my Civic:
JDM B16A Engine 1.6 Litre
TODA Racing Pistons
10:5.1 Compression, Thats Stock Compression, I wanted it 12:5.1 :-(
Custom Air Charger with KD Air Filter
B16A Injectors
Ported Cylinder Head then gave it a nice Polish
The car's FWD
With this spec, the CAR is FAST, it goes from 0-100 Km/h or 0-60 Mp/h in just 5 seconds...Then I sold the car for $7000 or Rp 70.000.000
What I did with the money?
I bought a 1994 Mitsubishi Lancer GTi, a Rare car indeed, Its stock Engine could go for 16 Seconds in a 1/4 Mile 402 Meters
The Engine:
1.8L 4G93 DOHC Engine
Got a CD player and tape on it...so its nice (Unlike my Civic that I bought with no cd/tapes at all...)
I just bought a Lancer Evo 1 GSR Halfcut that I ordered from Malaysia through a friend... The Evo's engine:
2.0L 4G63T DOHC Engine Turbocharged Engine
TD05-H Turbo
My first turbo project, and Im working on it now, Wish me luck, because this will be the last car that Im building before I make a leave to the US, hopefully Ill get it finished by then...What I'm planning to have on this car before I leave (Of course I'll have to finish it first):
New Stainless Steel Turbo Pipings
HKS Blow Off Valve
1.0 Bars of Boost (Or 1.3 Bars)
Cams, Sprockets and Springs
Future:
2.2L 2.4L Strokers...and New Turbo for Optimal BOOST
WISH ME LUCK!
