    Remap with Chris at EFI parts Runcorn review

    I've had Type R's for ages now, over 10 years, plus a few Evo's and an S2000. I've been up and down the country trying various 'highly recommended' tuners with mixed results and feelings. One Evo tuner put the car on the dyno for all of 40 minutes and as you'd guess, the map was pretty bad yet...

    First gear full throttle launch limit when accelerating

    I've been having an issue with my car recently. It is mapped with KPro, RBC inlet, Mugen intake, DC mani and RM01A exhaust. If I am wanting to pull away quickly then sometimes the car stops accelerating, almost as if it's hitting the KPro launch limiter, the KPro doesn't think the car is moving...

    High pitched noise coming from the intake manifold area

    Drove the Teg for the first time in a few weeks yesterday and half way into the drive I heard what sounded like the alternator belt screeching. I *think* it rises and falls with the engine revs, and it definitely sounds like a belt when you turn the engine off as there is what sounds like belt...

    Cheapest way to increase front camber

    I'm stuck at 2 degrees max using B16 and the normal camber bolts. I'm still using OEM top mounts and down the line I want to use the castor mounts which will give increased camber and caster. The problem is that it's money I don't really want to be spending now. I was wondering if there's a...

    Suspension options

    I currently have Bilstein B16's on and I've been looking at running the Area castor top mounts. Having spoke to Rob at Area he says I need new springs, something to do with the Bilstein spring design not being compatible with something or other required for the top mount. Whatever it is, I'd...

    Primary O2 sensor headaches

    I'm hoping someone has had similar and maybe able to offer some advice. Bit of history first. I bought the car back in September and on the way home the EML came on. I read the code and it showed the O2 sensor to be the issue. Fair enough, I know they are common so to be expected. The light...

    Surface rust around strut brace

    Not so much of a detailing question, but more about cleaning and car care. I have some surface rust around my Mugen strut brace on the body of the car, near the top mounts. I tried cleaning it off this weekend but only got half a job done. I'd like to know of a decent abrasive cloth/brush and...

    Which wheel nuts?

    This may seem a stupid question, but the nuts I have on the car are terrible, the paint started flaking off them and they are rusty underneath. They kept getting locked in the adaptor and took some effort to get out. I'm after some nuts for aftermarket wheels, with a locking nut that are easy to...

    TGM F50 brake kit pad size/model

    Does anyone know the size/model of pad that's required for the F50 Brembo calipers? I'm looking at getting some spare RS29's or similar to keep in case I ruin the current pads but TGM don't have stock at the moment so I was looking at options online, but don't really know what to look for. I...

    Replacement key

    My car only came with one, and I'd like to replace the missing one. Naturally I emailed my local Honda dealer who were really helpful and told me to find a locksmith. Anyone had a spare key made up? How much did you pay and I assume it needs coding to my ECU?

    Performance Autoworks

    I just wanted to give them a proper mention on here as they are in my experience, one of the best places I've used for tuning and servicing. Rich and Simon have looked after many of my Honda's and Evo's over the years and I have had nothing but professional and courteous service with impeccable...

    Wet roof lining

    Hi chaps. Just noticed the roof lining in my teg is wet. Is this a common thing?

    Going for a blast - how do you drive your car on the road?

    Maybe age is catching up with me, but recently I seem to have little to no interest in driving my car hard on the road. I'll max out the revs now and again and launch it into a roundabout for giggles, but down typical country roads I'm genuinely terrified of a few things: - crashing - being...

    Bit at the bottom of the drivers window

    Pictures paint a thousand words. Do I need to paint it or is it easy to replace? Not a biggie but it annoys me.

    GoPro mount for track

    Anyone heard of RacerMount? http://www.kijiji.ca/v-other-auto-parts-and-accessories/markham-york-region/racermount-in-car-headrest-camera-mount-gopro-racing/1042365650 http://www.racermount.com/media/ It looks as if it will mount via the Recaro holes. I may send them an email to see if they...

    Shift rod replacement

    Can the rod be replaced on its own, or am I better off getting an entire kit including the bushes? Basically the one that goes forwards and backwards on mine bent at Donington, this made 2nd, 4th and 6th etc feel like sludge. See my excellent MS Paint edited picture. I've bent it back the...

    Left speaker not working

    I have some cheap Pioneer single DIN, it's connected via an ISO adaptor to the standard loom which feeds what I think are OEM replacement speakers. They are connected via a plastic connector, about 50mm wide and 200mm long. The left speaker doesn't work, so I took the door card off and replaced...

    Bog eyed headlights

    I drove up to Donington in the dark and I thought my lights looked a bit off. So in the morning with the garage shutter down I compared them to Linus's DC5 and mine are indeed 'a bit off'. There's no structural damage to the front of the car so I can only assume it's a fitment issue of the lamps...

    Steering wheel wobble at 80 ish - wheels have been balanced twice

    Picked the car up from TGM and I noticed that the steering wheel was wobbling at around 70 mph. I thought perhaps a weight had fallen off, so I took it to a local tyre place that I've been using for years. They said one wheels was 10 grams out and the other was 30. So they balanced them again...
