    Rear Fog Light

    As Granty says, there is a thread on here detailing how to do it. Not sure why you'd want to drop a reverse light for it - mine's wired to the inner cluster lights and works fab xthumbup

    Error code P0118

    High coolant temperature. So it could either be down to degraded coolant due to not being changed and it has sat there a long time and lost its heat-retention properties. Or if it was changed out, it could have been poorly done leaving an air pocket in the system. Check the level and the...

    High Revs on start up, & Kangaroo effect...

    As you've identified yourself, common symptoms of the idle control valve playing up. Bit of elbow grease and it's as good as new for a fairly long time again!

    Honda Teg DC5 Type R FL CW: Does the exterior CW has lacquer to the paint work?

    Newbie jap owner engine mount question

    When I got mine and noticed the front mount split I decided on replacing the mounts with OEM mounts from Honda and then Polybush inserts. It adds a little bit more of a vibration feeling, but nothing drastic compared to swapping to billet / solid mounts.

    Oh really? I was in Cromer in the evening! That would be me! Decided to go for a little coastal drive after getting some fish & chips in Cromer!

    The B16 in the EK9s doesn't feel that underpowered in all honesty. When I lived in Edinburgh I used to go for some enjoyable drives with a mate in his EK9 and another in a well setup EP3. Nothing between the '5 and EP3 and the EK9 certainly wasn't far behind, and only on the straight bits! An...

    exhaust knock in first and second only?

    Motorway cruising

    Can confirm that VTEC does engage in 6th gear on a standard car that is delimited. As per above though, if you're just cruising at stable speeds for any length of time you don't really want to be in VTEC. On these cars you'd have to be running an exceptionally short 6th gear and final drive as...

    Best place to get insured on a dc5?

    I went with Brentacre when I was 21 about to turn 22, they used LV in the end and been happy with the service. I'll probably give Greenlight a shot next year or the year after ;)
