The soul of rock is described B18C unbridled best example of blood, and is based on the UK's Rover has a strong flavor of a gentleman, when the appearance of a gentleman of the Rover 416 has unbridled soul B18C, will become a mixed-breed angels and demons witch!
Listed in the 1995 British Touring Car 1999 Rover 416, looks like a nineteenth-century English gentleman-like courtly, but what is commonly known as the Five hi beauty of Taiwan Honda EG, not only the same chassis, suspension, and even engine parts, Rover 416 launched a total of 1.4L, 1.6L and 2.0L, 1.6L engine is one of the most common Civic K6/K8 D16 series engines. But the real Rover 416 MK2 Health brother Joseph, but Honda Domani this between EG (K6) and EK (K8) the transition between the types of vehicles, Honda in 1992 authorized the chassis, engine and other patents to the Rover, and Rover then design their own combination of 416 appearance, it also received the "British hi beautiful" nickname.
Rover 416, but is defined as the load by a large family car, so the volume is greater than the number of four-door EG, but smaller than the Accord K5/K7. So although it engine, chassis, suspension EG things simply, but the actual dynamic characteristics to drive it more like the engine equipped with a single convex ZC Integra DC2. That is why, although the Rover 416 made that year without the authorization engine B18C double-convex, but the tuning, the transplant on the car engine, double-convex sets, but it is easy. The only problem is, Rover 416 then how lukewarm the transformation of the image?

JDM of Angel style
Alone in terms of image, Civic EG, EK, DC2 of the Japanese air movement, in fact, people in Taiwan are relatively in line with both young and handsome impression, but the Rover 416 used to change there is a great advantage, that is, the car without an engine number, equivalent to U.S. regulatory K6 Si, DX, Coupe, but because of the existing Rover vehicles is too small, so the prices did not medieval market of imported cars, and four were almost the same price K8. But because of the low-key nature of Rover, save a lot of unnecessary "attention", has become the best transformation of Honda performance enthusiasts choice.
Therefore, YU Speed ​​of a car to get to immediately help the car engine, gearbox, suspension systems, air conditioning, stereo, interior, seats, carpets, plastic strips, glass, lamps removed all the cleaners, from the inside out all the re-baking sheet. However, only the first step baking sheet, to complete a face-lift to Rover, the contents can not be ignored is a modified focus! The contents Rover Sport is not just a change of the steering wheel, the car seat like a change, a large number of walnut wood trim and center console faded synthetic plastic skin aging, are so sporty impure elements. So YU Speed ​​coated with a first for the console re-suede, door handles, black walnut trim on the grill to determine the vehicle's Sport elements only after the Buddy Club P1 barrel chairs and Nardi steering wheel fitted.

The engine room clean and tidy, but all the lines compiled a bunch of credit for the same to the car as cool as the plant.
A worship NA
Means the devil
In power systems, this car to NA and worship for the purpose of Rover 416, will be a black B18C engine, re-weight the weight of the original four link, and use four-cylinder weight difference less than 0.01g of CP piston, and replace the 321 degree progress UNA / exhaust 319 degrees Hi-cam, UNA strengthen the valve, UNA valve spring, UNA titanium valve caps, UNA 70mm throttle, carbon fiber intake broth, breath into the air the engine to do a substantial improved. Strengthen the supply side, the use of the Sard fuel pressure regulator, increase the fuel rail Station Island, 430c.c. nozzle (B18C original: red head 280c.c., black 230c.c.), master cylinder gasoline Weber 255ml (B18C red head factory 165c.c.), then Apex Power FC computer modified oil programmable ignition time for the fuel and air to get the best mix. Finally, intense exercise in order to prevent driving the engine temperature is too high, will replace the original tank water tank Coolmax thick aluminum, and TAS plus oil cooler, engine oil and cooling water have to maintain the best heat dissipation.

The original chaos of the engine room, all the lines into a straight line, line and line level with each other, made each other!
Transmission system, in order for the limited power of natural increase in intake was a more complete transfer out of the metal gearbox inside the clutch replaced UNA, UNA double-plate clutch plate. The gear part to emphasize the 180km / h before accelerating performance, so in addition to the final pass to maintain B18C original gear ratio of 4.4, the three, four, five files are replaced by UNA's fine-toothed, extending to the maximum speed of 9000rpm the catalyst, B18C fighting strength early in the 200km / h or less to be exploded.
And squeezing out a powerful explosive, in order to faithfully transfer the power to the ground, the tire must have the best grip area, because the car uses nitrogen bottle SILVER monocular type plug body center of gravity to reduce the shock absorbers to reduce the initial When the body before and after the focus shifted, but the lower ride height, suspension geometry will deform, YU Speed ​​regulator uses the elevation angle of elevation of the tilt angle of repatriation of the appropriate ground. Finally, turning to prevent the starting torque, but also the installation of a UNA 2Way LSD to prevent the left and right wheels slip! Last lightweight forged in the Rays TE37 wheels and Yokohama A050 tires have the double melting profile of blessing, Lingsi accelerate the performance level of 14 seconds to Taiwan have changed with the original Impreza GC8 turbo almost the 5th

The patent is not a factory car tubes, used in the brake fluid on the road, but also can improve the accuracy of the brake oil pressure, and play a more refreshing look.

Good chassis on the 400, should be good fun! The mg zs 180s are good, so with the extra 70bhp this should be a goodun!

Just got the car back from mapping :D Still on 24psi and now making 456bhp and 414ft now with much more smoother power curve. Bhp still on the way up at rev limiter.

Driving the car the power is much more easier to control, it seems to have lost that huge power spike where you felt like you've been hit in the forehead with a hammer and steering snatches out of your hand. It should be a bit easier for the gearbox to cope as well.

And this is how it looks now

I'll be very suprised if this even cracks once :wink:

Now the engine wants to be reved up a bit higher so thats the job for next winter, after that i'll have a crack at converting it to rear wheel drive and reshell it.
What do yous think?

I was talking about Civics, although the mini plant here used to build Rovers back in the 90's too after is was Austin and IIRC before that it was called pressed steel. Although I think all they do is stamp the panels from sheet steel there, Honda do bolt the cars together here.

s**t me Sam, who's is that 420 GSI-T?! Complete pornography in my eyes. Think ive seen it on Rovertech before.

Epic sleeper values in that.

Agreed, I'll never, ever, ever own a rover.

I had an MG once.

Then snapped out of it and got a Clio instead.

I set of reliability problems for another, but at least it doesn't look like a Max Chavver special

Looks like that white 400 has some tasty kit. V.Nice and I love the whole sleeper thing.

You would be pretty pissed if a bloke in a s***y 400 absolutley decimated you at the lights and for that reason its cool.

I had a Metro GTI last year with a 1800 vvc 160ps engine and I owned so many people on the track in that thing and everyone who I took out for a spin loved it :cool:.

It's Si's he's around you iirc. The chassis rails are splitting though last I heard, he welded it back up and havnt heard much since. He wants to RWD it, which would be utterly epic.

Who needs Vtec when you can have a turbo the size of a 3 bed semi-detached.

Should see the power curve on Andy's 870ishbhp ZR. Nothing nothing nothing nothing nothing 750ft/lbs change gear. <3 turbo lag.
