Oh and when I need my brakes done he said it would cost £170 for all 4 inc parts and labour. Sounded damn good to me.

Decided mid week I needed to get the oil changed on my DC5 as looking a tad on the black side. Called TGM and they said they could fit me in before the weekend but due to being far away from me I couldn't get enoug time off work. So thought i'd give the Alan Day Honda garage a call in...

I wanted to go down to TGM but they a quite far away from me and I desperately need to get my oil changed before the weekend because I was going on a long journey. So I thought I'd amuse myself and ask Honda - they said to me they could only do a Level 1 service on the car - and I was like ah...

There is only one way to put these peoples minds at ease - take them out for a spirited drive. Watching them back up in the seat, silent and looking for the "oh shit" handle is all to pleasing. First day I got mine I took 5 people out in it from work. 8)

Yeh my girlfriends sister said the other day mines a chav car... :shock: :shock: found myself explaining what the difference is. Though later on she went out in it and said it sounded cool, was like being in an aeroplane... women eh.

I know what you mean about the prices - luckily at the moment I don't want a quick sale, so I'm going to hold mine as it is, it's completely standard and very low mileage - does sicken me a bit that some are going for stupid money. The thing is aswell - this time of year is always going to be...

Fair do's, couldn't see it really being an option but thought i'd check.

One of my biggest issues for selling up is the cost of petrol, I need something more economical - an LPG conversion popped into my head. Anyone know the pro's or con's of doing this?

Should I listen to my local honda garage when they say 0-30? Going to be doing an oil change soon - so glad I've seen this post.

With the manifold - do you not lose low down acceleration? I might be confused - but everyone who is doing a manifold, de-cat etc - surely you are losing that back pressure and will only see the difference at higher speeds?? If I was going to do that setup I'd have the mugen twinloop so at...

What spec is your car? I ran completely standard and got 15.416 at best - kept losing traction and engine hopping. I'm now thinking the torque damper would be a good thing.

Any of you tried falkan 452's? I use them and they are awesome tyre for the price. I've tried Eagles and Toyo T1R's and have to say I prefer the 452's.

GOLF = Common!! :lol: Like most german cars you have to look hard to disguinish the difference between a normal one and a sport version. The R32 is v.heavy for a hot hatch tbh, think there is about 200kg difference between the Integra and R32 so that is a big decider. I think to get an...

Hmm interesting, Where did you find that? Seen something similar for the EK9 which I think make an extra 6-7hp, but had a nasty curve restricting flow. What power have people gained from just Gruppe -M

Should have used her head to get the scratches out. ;) G3 Compound is very good for polishing out scratches.
