I‘ve just started seeing a bird, and was round at her flat the other day with her flat mate, when she came out with: “Have you seen his car? It‘s the biggest boy racer car ever!” to her mate. (Not a single fuck was given by the way) To be perfectly honest if you‘re not interested in cars...

It will. It kind of grabs at each wheel in a way – which is why it happens in VTEC when torque increases. I had an Afla Romeo before the Teg running a similar Torsen type diff and it suffered from the same kind of thing, albeit not as aggressively. A lot will depend on your individual setup...

I‘ve just had geo setup and four new Eagle F1‘s in the last 6 months, and I have to fight a bit to stay in a straight line in VTEC, especially on wet roads. As has been said, I‘ve always put it down to the difference of driving with an LSD. My sister‘s boyfriend who drives Jaguar R‘s on a daily...

Yeah that‘s fair – it could be a case of the fact that they may struggle to blend the fresh paint on one panel in with the older paint as well then. That‘s the reason a lot of people end up getting full front end resprays when only something like the bonnet or bumper really needs doing. End...

Multicoloured Honda‘s are not uncommon, especially when looking at the front end. They chip very easily and a lot of people get them repaired. CW is a really bad colour for it as matching it is very hard due to fading. I had a Milano Red one before, and that suffered from the same problem. If...

Just paid £42 at main dealer for some. :mellow:

Very boring, but I replaced the pollen filters. As you can see they didn't need doing... :xaiweb6: Also got the drivers window working which was a right pain, after a perished seal had pulled it off the regulator. Fiddly jobs with cold hands are not ideal. Max

Thank you - It's on Ohlins coilovers. I'd definitely recommend them. I did a fair bit of research first too, and it seems a lot of people are happy with the work. Yep. From what I understand it's so you can add nitrogen and air at the same time, while also being able to fill and monitor tyre...

I had my Enkei NT03+M's refurbished in Charcoal Anthracite at The Wheel Specialist in Manchester. It's a tyre-off full wheel refurb with 8 new valves and the job is faultless - really pleased. Just need to sort some new centre caps! Pic quality not great, but you get the idea.... Before...

How many miles has the car done? An oil change is not really a ‘service‘, there is obviously other work that should be completed at set intervals such as filters, spark plugs, valve clearances etc. I wouldn‘t be worried at 200hp. What were the cars quoted from new, 212? Even the youngest...

I wouldn't get anything other than OEM mate, although it depends how set on having your car looking original. I think the OEM ones look the best too, as is the case for most things. Aftermarket ones are usually smaller. If you go second hand, drop Integrastella on eBay a message - he gets a...

Regardless of whether you were talking about the Type R or not, which you didn‘t exactly make clear as the previous post was about both models, 90% of your posts are irrelevant and contribute nothing towards the actual topic the OP has raised. People use this forum for information, so if you‘re...

A huge risk? It's a 160 bhp shopping car. (No offence OP) I could understand if you had the DC5R and were using it on track days that putting the fogs in might slightly lower performance, but there is no way you can say it's a risk even on the R on the roads. Do you think the brakes are going...

Am I right in thinking the Type S didn't have break vents.... or was it just those that came with optional fogs that didn't?

Yeah – mine has all the Jap history with it and some Honda history since import. I think it‘s missing 2 UK stamps. I‘ve had it for a year and plan to fire it at TDI North every 6k or 12 months for an oil change and other service parts. I think it probably helps to sell a car with history...
