    Best place for phone holder in DC5 ??

    Ive got a bluetooth headset for my car so I went away and bought a holder/cradle for my phone. I'd prefer to use the sticky pad that comes with the kit instead of the supplied screws but there doesnt seem to be any apparent "ideal" places to mount it. Where do you guys have yours mounted ??

    Goodyear Eagle F1's on the front ?

    Im about to change my fronts after having a bad weekend of hairy moments with the storms/rain. I know the sidewalls are soft enough on the GSD3's and can give a "jelly-like" feel to the car under heavy braking but would it affect the cars balance too much if I was to put them on ?? The Yoko...

    best way to install a cold air feed?

    I have my Apexi induction kit in about a week now and at first I thought it pulled a bit better and definitely better and louder in Vtec. However, with all the warm weather lately, I feel I'm losing a lot of power low down. I put the foot down and the it feels like its holding back. Although...

    Silkolene Pro-Boost..anyone used it ?

    This would be more directed towards the irish lads on here..macer, gregb, nova, tarmac. As most of you will already know the petrol here in ireland is 95RON so under load the engine can "pink" a bit. Long term this is not good for the engine I know. A friend of mine who drives an S2000...
