Yup 4x100, I fitted MINI One 15" Steel wheels to mine with good effect: 1983 Triumph Acclaim by RSdesignUK, on Flickr Triumph Acclaim 1983 by RSdesignUK, on Flickr Triumph Acclaim 1983 by RSdesignUK, on Flickr They are great cars, but some parts can be really hard to find, and they are not cheap to lower as there are not many Mk1/Mk2 Civics or Acclaims that have the replacement lower springs, they were custom units from SPAX IIRC. With wider wheels (185/55/R15 from 145/80/R13) they were a LOT better in the wet and grip although tramlined like a b*tch!

More info and pics please 👍🏻 What would you like to know? Here is the spec list. Me & my friends thought it would be a funny build/sleeper so I bought a B16 powered EJ6 Civic as a donor & used a rotten beige shell for a mock up earlier in the year, did a track day to test it then recently swapped it all into a mint shell & turbocharged it for good measure! The engine & box is actually wider than the bay so it's a very tight fit. I had to cut holes for the pulleys to run in and mount the engine almost solid because there is no room for movement. I've built it as best as possible to use as a daily drive so everything has been done properly & looks tidy. B16A2 Stock Engine GT3071 Turbo BWR Ramhorn Manifold Tial 44mm External Wastegate & Screamer Pipe 3" Downpipe > 2.25" EJ6 Civic Exhaust 2.25" Shallow Intercooler Kit Electronic Boost Controller 044 Fuel Pump OBX Fuel Rail 650cc Injectors Adjustable Fuel Pressure Regulator Hondata S300 Bluetooth Standalone ECU 3 Bar GM Map Sensor Launch Control BKR8EIX Plugs NGK HT Leads Big Electric Fan On Stock Rad Hydraulic Clutch Conversion 4-Puk Paddle Clutch Lightweight Flywheel LSD Gearbox Custom Driveshafts (B Series Inner, Acclaim Outer CVs) 242mm Civic Vented Front Brakes BC Racing Coilovers AXE 8 15x8J ET30 Wheels Nylon Engine Mounts 195/50 Nankang NS2R Front Tyres 195/45 Nankang NS2 Rears Integra DC2 Import Recaro Seats Momo Dished Suede Steering Wheel EG Civic Gauge Cluster Boost Gauge It made 346hp at 0.85bar (High boost) & 255hp at 0.5bar (Wastegate pressure). Even on low boost it will spin the wheels in 3rd in the dry. I have wired the boost control map into the heated rear window switch, so a simple press of that unleashes another 100hp! The rev limit is currently set to 8300rpm with VTEC around 5500 but these engines are safe for 8500+ stock. I think we saw 8950rpm on the dyno at one point. Videos to follow soon!
