700 is a target, it will crack 400bhp no doubt, 5/600 is a common and dare i say it easy power for the civic boys
this will have traction control and as much tech as i can throw at it so actual power on the floor will be controlled very well *wink*

That bar is low and has been raised by 3/4 inch now also not forgetting the rear end is jacked up 4 inch doesnt help
The pic is with the suspension wound fully down so at that point the foot wells would touch aswell

Currently have the subframe off and welding everything up

Day6

loads done today *happy*
the main frame tacked up
and a tie bar mocked up in position
front suspension wound all the way down ( rear still 4 odd inch higher than its road hight
checking for clearance here, the lower bar ended up getting raised 3/4inch

the subframe does hang down way past the body work but this is intentional more will be reviled later on in the build but the there will be something like cardboard aided design's from earlier on in the build thread
internal clearance shots

yeah simon, low and slow *wink*
lee, quite likely space is tight so either the intercooler or radiator will be down there, there is space behind the drivers side head light and is where some people put a radiator there
quite fancy a charge cooler on this, its going to be almost 100% dragstrip use

At the minute there just floating, the hight is not restricted much but there now 6inches further out from the origional subframe and im still resarching what drawbacks this would give if any

Yes, can't think of the lads name. Kean bought the 1380 from him and he stuck a vtec in yo! Callipers hit the tie bars.
