I do all my work myself so I'm not too clued up in garages and their prices. Off my head Area Motorsport and Honda HQ wouldn't be far from you. I would stay away from main dealers. Specialists will likely do a better job at a far better price. End of the day don't overthink it, these cars are...

My speedo converter began to play up so I removed it. They are usually just cheap little boxes spliced into the wiring before the VSS on the gearbox. My Teg is mapped so the speed restriction is removed. The dial carries on going round the clock after 180 as you could imagine. The only issue...

I have a Cobra 4138. Had it fitted by a recommended installer in my area and they did a good job. Way better fitted than the one that was fitted before assuming on import in 2008. I would recommend you also get quotes from a couple other places, AF had some bad reviews especially lately and I...

I've not done it but in terms of actually removing the cat it's only worth a couple of bhp. Aftermarket manifolds however do provide decent gains but as you know they replace the cat on the engines (usually). Best bet would be to weld a high flow cat into the exhaust system. Leaving the...

If you're happy with how the shifter feels then save your money. I personally cannot stand any play in the shifter and after all of the upgrades (before Acuity shifter) there was still play coming from the standard shifter itself due to being plastic and cheaply made. That is the short shifter...

Gear knob isn't going to help shifter feel really. I found the standard DC5 shifter feel terrible probably because I came from a DC2 and also had a EK4 with shifter upgrades. Cable bushings will never feel as good as B series on a shifter rod but I've got mine a lot better. I've upgraded about...

Can't see pictures. No matter what tyres you use you are going to struggle this time of the year especially with forced induction. You could switch to some more road friendly tyres such as PS4 or Rainsports but it won't make a world of difference, end of the day you got a 300+bhp going through...

I have the same setup as you plus recently added the selector springs and detent springs. The detents make it feel nicer when it slots into gear and the selector springs make the side to side action tighter. I'm happy enough with it now. I think the pivot spring on the shifter can be upgraded...

Sounds like an issue with your caliper, I don't see how discs could cause this. I will check my rear pad wear though and let you know if I find the same but I highly doubt

Tegiwa have a couple of options including genuine Honda ones which aren't too pricey. I ended up getting cheap Blueprint ones which do the job for the rear, been on about 6 months and no issues. You can find the part numbers on this forum for Blueprint parts that fit the DC5

Had RPB on the front of mine for about 4 years now with mainly spirited driving! The grooves have almost worn away but other than that they are solid. On my 2nd set of PBS pads in this time period, if you like to drive spirited with that power then I would recommend them, not cheap and very...

I would get them balanced again, go back to one of them ask them to do it again. If still wobble I would try another garage to balance them. I've had the same garage balance wheels for me 3 times before they got it right. Every time the wheel weights were in completely positions

IAAV delete Bash your cat out Air con delete Remove other weight you don't need Wire tuck some stuff Use washers as bushings to tighten the shifter

I just replaced my rear brakes using Blueprint discs and pads and honestly they are fine. You can find the part numbers on here, pads about £10 and discs about £40. Don't really think there's any need to spend big money on the rears. Had Stoptech pads and OEM discs before and doesn't feel any...

Good choice. I upgraded to the Mishimoto rad too, I also went for the fans and shroud too sound cool when they come on lol. I also got the matching upper and lower hose. About 6L of Honda Type 2 and you are sorted

There's likely a crack in the radiator. These plastic radiators don't last long and most owners have already been forced into upgrading because of this. I would recommend upgrading this anyway but if you chose not to then you need to investigate the top hose. Unless these hoses split they don't...

Honda PSF, I would get 2 litres and use some to flush out the old stuff. Honda MTF. 1.8L. Also consider getting a magnetic drain plug for the box, maybe engine too. 5w40 fully synthetic engine oil. Shell Helix Ultra is my go to for all cars I service. Anywhere around 5L depending how well you...

I felt this when I got mine. Meister coils and all other mods to get a decent alignment and it is quite aggressive when driving hard on bad roads. Good surface road there is no pull. It's all down to the diff doing it's job on our roads. I quickly got used to it

Those are for the rears?
