    Another door lock problem!

    I have already suffered from the drivers door actuator failure and replaced the part 2 or 3 years ago, with an OE version. Over the last year or so it has been a bit sticky during warm weather and does not fully unlock. Lately, when I lock the car I can hear the central locking system keep...

    6k D2R Bulbs

    I need to replace my bulbs but was wanting to go 6k this time. It seems the Philips Bluevision 6k are no longer available, but I have found these: http://www.autobulbsdirect.co.uk/D2R-Twenty20-Arc-6-Upgrade-35W-6000K-Xenon-HID-Bulb.html For £65 a pair they might be worth a try. The reviews...

    Bilstein B14 or steering rack play...

    I have had Bilstein B14 coilovers fitted since last April and also fitted the new SHS steering rack slider a few months ago. With either side jacked up, and the other side still on the floor, there appears to be some left/right wobble in the wheel, no up/down wobble though. This is also the...

    Tyre movement for a given camber increase?

    It might be an obvious answer but is there a way to calculate how much further the tyre will move inwards as camber increases negatively? I want to see if I can avoid rolling the arches since the scrub is just near the top of the sidewall, and that is with -0.7 camber. ET42 @ 7J wheels with...

    Aircon whooshing sound

    Has anyone had a leak or anything on their aircon system that makes a whooshing sound? Vid as follows... I recently built the system back up after 5 years, had it regassed and now it is not cold any more after just a few weeks so I'm guessing it has leaked out somewhere...

    Alternator cracked

    Anyone ever had their alternator crack??? I can replace it easily enough but it's strange why it happened. It still charges fine but don't know how long it would last!

    Kpro sensitive throttle

    Just after opinions from others with similar mods and kpro, does anyone feel the throttle is very sensitive? Also, any judder/jolt when transitioning between on and off throttle? I've played around with overrun settings for throttle off and tip in retard for throttle on but it only occasionally...

    OEM suspension top mount

    I have recently purchased a set of Bilstein B14 coilovers which use the oem top mounts, however, I have seen that some replacemnt top mounts include a bearing. On the set I bought this wasn't included, but does anyone know if it is actually required?? I bought my car on coilovers already so...

    Fitting seat cover

    I did a quick test fit of the capital seating cover yesterday but wondering do you need to remove the plastic seat rail trims to fit the outer edges behind? It seems to be a bit loose and in the way of the slider if left hanging over.

    Mugen Sports Suspension Pic Request

    I've just read through about 20 topics based on this suspension, but there was a limited number of pics and most were at angles. If anyone has this kit, can they post level, side view pictures please? I'm possibly looking to 'upgrade' to a better setup than the BC Racing coilovers I'm...

    Clunk when pulling away

    It seems a clunk/pop type sound has developed over the last couple weeks and it happens every time I pull away, also in reverse. It makes 1 or 2 clunk/pop sounds just as the clutch is fully released and the car gets moving. Sounds like the front left area. I've checked all engine mounts...

    Insane Driveshaft

    I've just taken arrival of a driver side Insane driveshaft, measured it and it is correct at 597mm! I've tried about 4 different driveshafts and all have been 15mm too short, 582mm but this one looks to be correct! :xgrin: The build quality is nice as well, and has decent looking clips:

    Front and Rear H badge

    Do these look like they are genuine? The pics show them in a Honda part number bag but doesn't the front always come with a shroud? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Honda-Red-Front-Rear-Badge-Emblem-For-Integra-DC5-TypeS-TypeR-01-06--/171246339984?pt=au_car_parts_accessories&hash=item27df13c790

    Mis-alignment

    Is it really as easy as hitting a mild pot hole and the alignment can get knocked out? I have coilovers and frsu, and have probably had 5 or 6 setups. After a while it starts to drift slightly to the right, and on a straight road (dual carriageways seem worse) I am making a lot of micro...

    Here's a vid of me chasing Coyote during the last session on the Snetterton 300. It was quite slippery and greasy but had a great time. http://youtu.be/803Xvlb2a8I

    Immobiliser chip

    If I wanted to get a second key cut, but the car has a separate immobiliser system how would I go about doing this? The immobiliser chip is housed in plastic and is attached separately to the key ring. Can they cut a key with a chip built in, and program it to the same coding, even though I...

    Which wheels?

    I could do with selling one of these sets of wheels, but I can't decide which I want to keep... Buddyclub P1, offset 42, 7" Advan RC2, offset 45, 7.5" Any idea what the Advans might be worth in very good condition?

    Steering feels light

    http://youtu.be/7v3mjL2oXKk At speeds above 60 mph the first 1cm or so of left/right steering feels very light, and makes the car feel floaty in a straight line. I have read in the service manual about steering rack guide adjustment, but the wheels do turn within that first 1cm, just very...
