    Aussie ITR Discs?

    Same brakes? Well, by now you've probably found www.harrop.com.au They're a big name in aftermarket race/performance parts, as most Aussies would know. There is also DBA (Disk Brakes Australia) making OE std and better brake rotors. See following link for DC5 and earlier listings...

    Engine Pinging

    Sorry to hear you're still having trouble. I totally agree with you on the issue of octance boosters. I really would have thought it should run fine on PULP alone. I'm not doubting you could check the plugs, but I don't think a brand new Type R is the best place to teach yourself mechanic...

    Engine Pinging

    Ask what was wrong with the 1 injector they replaced, and ask how they're so sure the other 3 are not similarly faulty. Was it partially blocked or otherwise running too lean on that cylinder?

    Suspension too hard - help

    ...APLHI Type R Matt said it...Bilsteins (or similar top quality dampers). If you are attracted to the idea of lowering whilst insisting you are only trying to achieve better ride quality, you should really speak to a suspension specialist before you go any further.

    Very smokey VTEC

    I don't own a Honda...just lusting from a distance so far. But have mechanical and some Honda specific experience. Did help a mate 'reco' the engine in old Civic over a decade ago...was using oil. We got the head done totally, and skimped by only honing the bores and installing new...
