i would also like to know. i like that muffler.

It's the Spoon Sports N1, got a really nice sound to it, will have to post a video of the car up sometime on the move so you can hear it.

All cars in the UK are right hand drive and it's all i have ever driven so i guess you prob just get used to it

Thanks for the comments guys

not bad bro. Looks like you got some HIDizzzles. needs to be lowered in the front more IMO.

Ye i put the HID's in there last November but to be honest i don't find them any better to drive with as the reflectors in the lenses are quite poor i think.

The height is actually quite even, think it's just the way it sitting on the hill. Dodgy UK roads! lol says it all really!

Looks good and you should get a new header, the D15 is probably robbing power from you. Try to find a Z6 one or some cheap ebay one maybe. I like your VTI rims painted white. I have a pair that i have started to paint black but i might change them to white now.

Interesting you mention the header i had a look on this link which IIRC i found on here which has now really made me unsure on which to buy?!

I'm in the UK which first limits me as everyone wants 'B-series' power!

Are the cheap eBay manifolds such as this one and good at all? What puts me off is the massively high overated claims of * Increases horsepower by a minimum of 25BHP when obviusly it never is, also been thinking about heat wrappin one as well to help prevent hot air flow round the engine.

With the loom all i did was directly swap the whole loom from an OBDI car, just looks tidier and more OEM

Well off to have a look at a new set of wheels tomrrow as getting bored of the ones i have now, what do you reckon to some 1994 Integra Si Fat Fives on the car??

 

[chrisellis211]

The wheels on there now are just standard EG6 wheels which i refurbed in Championship white. They do look really good still considering i did them nearly a year ago now. When i did them though I really overdid the laquer in hope it would protect them from brake dust.

Well i'm off to look at the wheels in a bit so will let you know if i buy them, just want a spare set for trackdays really!

Well couple of updates, got some wind deflectors now directly from Japan for £40 delivered!! Also had to get some new discs and pads which were much needed!!

Also fitted my fogs after deciding if i should or shouldn't sell them. Will get some pics up in a bit from during the fitment.

Well being half term Taylor and I decided we would have a go at a few jobs which had been long overdue on both cars. The list consisted of -

On mine,

Fitting new brake lines to the front, along with discs and pads.
Fitting my fog lights (thanks to Taylor)
Oil and filter change

Then for Taylors,

Remove and fit PAS removal kit although we had a few problems and had to loop it in the end
Adjust timing
Remove misfire which was done via timing and a set of BKR6E-11 NGK spark plugs along with many other little jobs and a trip to pub!

After Taylor's last expericences with both a hammer and knife I thought it was best we took the save option this time and used and angle grinder to fit the fog lights! :lol:

Once they were fitted we rolled it off the drive as i had drained the oil at this point.

 

[chrisellis211]

New brakes had also been on the lines for a while as well, unfortuantly funds didn't allow me to complete the rears and do my disc conversion but i fit the much needed discs and pads along with high quality Earls Stainless braided lines

Been up the strip today and got loads of runs in the day and my best time was 16.05 1/4miles at 88.5mph. Not to bad for the mini-me! Gutted though i didn't reach into the 15's!

Mods were my mini-me conversion with a Spoon N1 with stock 4-1 header as don't get the new one until the weekend and the back seats were out but i didn't have time to remove any sound deadening. Here's a few pics
