Im with adrian flux who don't do multi car insurance. thought about insuring a cheap run around through the winter but the quote was £850 whilst my dc5 is only £650 as I could only use my ncb on one car. With a multi car policy can you use your ncb on both cars?
I bought a koyo one from japserviceparts for around £35 I think. koyo actually make bearings for Honda anyway apparently

You're just being a bit unlucky mate. One of my front ones have just gone and thats after 90k miles. Only knew about it as it was my only advisory in a recent mot.
So went for the SR35's in red. They look ok but seem to mark easily even when putting a plastic bag over them. I was using some internal drive nuts before, but the last few times taking them off they were stuck on so tight that I thought they were going to round off.
before,
after,
Midrange is where you will notice most of the gain. Definitely worth it! Vtec at 4k rpm is nice :) and only cuts in at that rpm at full throttle so can still cruise.
I had mine in september 2008 when i was 21 as a second car comming from a 1.6 8v astra lol. Was a hell of a leap, but had the money so spoilt myself and still got it today.
Noisy exhaust is only an advisory anyway, so as long as you keep the cat on then you should be mot friendly. Theres an exhaust sound catalogue on youtube that will give you an idea on how different exhausts sound.
