Default Chao's Moonrock Grey

Hi Everyone

After owning my Moonrock S2K for over 2 years I thought I share my NA project through this thread. Let me start with the car specs

[attachment=48755:263732_10150708715025438_68326543 7_19598822_4348774_n.jpg]

It is a 2007 (57) Moonrock grey Roadster with 25,000 on the clock, after joining the S2KUK community after owning the car for 1 year and kept it standard the bug for tunning begins.

It started with the below:

1. Fibre Glass front lip (Copy of the OEM)

2. Copy of the OEM low level spoiler

Ugrade the wheels to set of 18" Staggered fitment Cades Tyrus wheels
Front 18" 5 x 114.3 ET45 8Js with 225-40-18 tyres
Rear 18" 5 x 114.3 ET45 9Js with 255-35-18 tyres

Love the looks on the wheels but after having it on the car for about 10 months realising it just doesnt drive as nice as the 17" I have rubbing on the rear arches so plan is to switch back to 17" wheels

Next on the list was

1. OEM hardtop
2. Side Strikes

Next was the engine tunning part where most of the £££ went into

1. K&N FIPK Gen 2 Induction kit
2. Tegiwa Exhaust Manifold (Js REP)
3. Invidia Q300 cat back with Titanium tip finish (From LSD Motors)
4. Berks Decat pipe
5. Hondata Flash Pro ECU (Tune from CPL Racing)
6. Meister R Zeta R coilovers
7. Tegiwa Carbon Fibre cooling plate
8. Kims chrome cross beam plate

Below are tsome pictures from all of the above mods

Here is a dyno sheet from CPL with all of the above mods map to.

Brake up grades was next on the list after the power increase

1. DBA drill and grooved street series disc all round
2. Carbotech XP8 carbon pads for the Front
3. Ferodo DS2500 pads for the rear

Since the car was lowered around 30mm I had massive problem with the front copy OEM lip it was just sitting too low and was scrapping everything and everywhere I go so I suffer the blow and order a original genuine facelift lip from Hendy and it was just perfect, the lip was higher and just fits on so much better also to the addition I have sold the 18" and went for a set of 17" Rota Fighters

Front 17" 8j 5 x 114.3 ET44 (215-45-17) Tyres
Rear 17" 9j 5 x 114.3 ET50 (245-40-17) Tyres

Liking the look at the moment, saw you post pics up previously!

You lowered 30mm? Did you just fit the coilovers, no other parts? I have the same coilovers waiting to go on.

This project gets my approval . The Password:JDM intake will look good in your engine bay. I'd be interested to see a dyno comparison between K&N and PWJDM.

You're a brave man to use K&N oil filter with no filter stopper.
