1992 Honda Concerto Blaise review from UK and Ireland
"A Modifiers Dream"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The Exhaust Back-Box developed a large hole.
The Anti Lock Brakes light stays on constantly, I've had it checked out twice, but nobody knows what the problem is.
General comments?
This Car is a Modifiers dream. I bought it as a 1.6i 16v running around 130 Brake Horse Power, it's now a 1.8i 16v running around 210 Brake Horse Power. I've Skimmed and Polished the Head, and had it Bored out to a 1.8, I've also had a Stage 1 Chip added to the Programmed Fuel Injection Unit.
It runs 0-60 in around 6 seconds, but only had 130 out of it Top End. I'm thinking of adding a Turbo Unit to it, and getting a new Gear Box fitted as the standard one is very low.
It handles like a dream on 17 inch Alloy's, and the Koni Adjustable Shock Absorber's keep it from leaning around bends.
It's a excellent car with lots of easy way's to make it faster.
