As the title, pretty rare conversion but may some of the Irish members have had some experiences with them?

Please do tell all here if so, thanks!

What have you seen them beat?

How would a 275hp Glanza do against one? LOL

I know Honda's are not about straight line speed, but if moving to an all motor engine from a turbo charged car, it needs to have some oooomph! :D

Oh very nice! I remember this now!

Well, my plan could be...buy an EK9..drive around in sort of stock form while saving for a K20 conversion...and break the Glanza.

pm sent gee.ya true theres a red one in galway also.its really good looking.both built by icetronix.recently seized by the guards as it wasnt insured properly.the guard happened to know stuff about cars and copped on straight away.poor lad.froshtyvs one is proven quicker although both pretty standard engines.

na enough jokes sorry mate.

I have fancied a turbo'd civic myself but i read that if you dont forge the engine there is a high chance of doing some damage.
