Very nice and Clean B-16 you have there. Any other future plans? IMO, I would put some Coilovers and tint the windows and be done. The wheels and interior are fine and done. Keep up the good work. Im also having trouble with Photobucket.com posting pictures as well you might want to start a account with Tinypic.com. Its free so why not. Peace Out

Well my future plans are in abundance....

I have a set of Eibach Prokit sitting in the closet, waiting for a warm day to install them. Im patiently waiting for my Wideband to come in the mail, so i can try to safely supercharge the car. Other plans in the near future include Carbon fibre covering the Dashboard and rear deck, for purely aestetic reasons.

Now here's the fun part. I have 1 full time job, and building a side business at the same time. As well as i have another project, im also building a 1933 ford 3 window coupe. So unfortunitly, im extremely busy.

Btw, for the few of you who have Emailed me, Im sorry i havent had the time to respond to your questions specificly. Im finally off tommorow for the most part, and will be answering you question to the best of my abilities.

Good day.

That dyno figure makes no sense to me at all - 403tq...

[djtorello]

The problem with the dyno is that the SE-R is a CVT transmission. Even in manual mode, the belt tries to make peak HP and Tq across the power band, so even though it has the feeling of a gear, the belt still adjusts. In this case, peak torque off the line and then the belt adjusts to meet the hp as RPM's increase.

You can see all the other odd lines of trying to have the Dyno tuned properly for the transmission. In the beginning i have seen lines do a loop dee loop, as the dyno's computer is confused. With the belt constantly changing ratios's, there is a bit of lag on the reading of the computer.

If you watch the video, i even said it was very hard to dyno my car.

Well i guess its time to update this, 3 years later: Ill let the pics talk for themselves:
