How much travel front and rear? Important, as for instance Nitrons are very good, but short of travel for hill climbing.

Spurious means copy parts - not o.e.

'05 - 16,900 miles - really - full road spec, but mainly used for local hill climbs.

The critical thing is to get the ratio of bump to rebound travel right (for optimum handling and traction this is different front and rear) - the ride heights then take care of themselves. Obviously if you can adjust pre-load spearately from ride height, so much the better.

Or try Miltek who sell DMSB competition cats.

Silver facelift - doesn't show the dirt, and certainly is less noticeable. Photographs really well when competing.

Go. Onto the MSA website, where you should see all the options. you will need to start with National B - for sprints and hill climbs a non race licence is all that is necessary. you can get upgrades by obtaining signatures as you complete an event. beware some club events have different classes...

The RRC gives better mid range gains. Cheapest way to buy is from your Honda dealer. Part number is H17100RRC000. You will need an adaptor (Karcepts) with an idle by pass cut out.

Aplogies - I was beguiled by yuor 980 bhp quote!!

Drag cars are turbo or s/c, so need totally different exhausts - this thread is about n/a. I have been surprised over the years by how much bigger diameters can be used - from ealry BMW F2 engines and later (but normally with a lumpy torque curve) - but undoubtedly they will need a perftectly...

Spacers are washers are for rear damper lower bush which is slightly shorter than for DC5.

Don't hit the end of the vthreaded section of the track rod ends, as it may well collapse across the split pin holes, even if the nut is flush, but use a heavy hammer on the steering arm to shock it loose.

Nitrons have an excellent reputation, and as for most things in life, you get what you pay for. However they have one drawback, which is that they are short of travel on the front - total is only 79 mm, which is fine for smooth track work with stiff springs, but not for some other applications...

99% sure that you only need parts 8 & 11 - I have certainly bought them separately, as I had to convert my coil overs back to the standard top mount, as solid top mounts are now banned in my class.

V useful - could this link be made a sticky?
