Hello! new type R owner
Hi guys, thought i'd actually do an intro post...
im Ash, 24 and from Wiltshire. I bought a mates Type R a few months ago who's had it for 6 years, purchased it from David Hendry cars and was the first UK owner.
He bought it as a completely standard V4 (i think), ran it for a couple of years like that until a trackday at Castle Combe the engine seized up and i towed it home for him back to Calne. He then invested a few wedge in a properly built 2.5 lump to the following spec.
2.5 engine, cosworth pistons, rods and tripple plate headgaskets, ARP rod bolts, Version 9 nitrated crank, uprated oil pump, type R heads with solid lifters, 3 angle valve seats, 600cc lateral performance injectors, 3" stainless exhaust, exedy organic clutch and Apexi ecu with commander.
RR'd at 370hp/400lbft
its running 1.35 bar of boost on the standard turbo/top mount I/C and still bolted upto the 5 speed type R DCCD box. i think he ran out of money to go 6 speed!
really fancy investing in a FMIC, 6 speed box and a bigger turbo.
anyway this is a picture of her, the wheels are coming off tomorrow to fit the P1 proderive wheels i have just had back from refurb and new tyres
sorry these are only Iphone pics
wheels ready to fit...
and for my proper toy....
My peugeot 205 rallye, people local to wilts will prob have seen it around Castle Combe at most action and track days. giving these turbo jap cars a pasting!
2.1 16V steel bottom end 306 GTI-6 engine built by Sandy brown, 50mm Jenvey throttle bodies etc etc, 230HP, 740kg
while i was building it
and the daily company car/tow car for trackdays along way away..
