The VTS is around 170BHP i think and weight around 1100KG. So pretty quickly and they handle really well. You can increase the power with not too much work. I would either get something french or a Civic/Mx5

Ahh my bad, i wasn't sure if he was selling it or not.

Was that aimed at me?

Citroen Xsara VTS, proper weapons and then get the WRC livery.

My friend just picked up a 7 the other day. It;s pretty mental.

EP3 would be the best one to get, but prices are going up. My mates supercharged one was a weapon and mainly used as a track car.

Just spent another £230 on genuine parts. Service kit - Oil filter, Oil, Air Filter, Fuel Filter, Pollen Filter, Sump Washer, Oil Filter Removal Tool, 3 Litres MTF Fluid, Wipers and a funnel lol. That should give me enough to do over the weekend as well as rear brakes, sort the exhaust noise...

To be honest, im pretty happy with it all considered. I have owned many Honda's mainly older ones and they have been alright. So long as i just carry out servicing etc then hopefully this one will be good to me.

OK BMW parts will be a bit more expensive. I would still go for 135i and have a set of track wheels and brakes for it. I can't imagine it will have many issues on track apart from maybe temps.

Personally i think the M135i would be the best idea as you are only going to use is for 5 track days so surely the extra cost is going to be cheaper then getting a full on track car and towing it around etc. Then the M135i would be fine when you are not on track and would be more fun.

Yer alot of people said similar things to me, but that's what i wanted to do. If i got all the parts from Honda it would of cost 300/350 then pay another garage labour etc so it would of been over £500. I could of got a 3rd party manifold for £100ish, but i wanted genuine. Could of got a...

Yup.

OK, i will have to get it up on the ramp.

So exhaust manifold was done yesterday by Honda, haven't smelt any fumes and sounds a bit quieter. The leak seems to be fixed aswell so just need to clean the interior and put it back in. Sadly the backbox has started rattling badly on idle, @Danith do you know what exhaust rubber it would need...

Doesn't that come with the head unit anyways?

Dam the inlet really makes a difference. Good result!

Ah I miss my old Caddy SDI work van, it was so epic. I hooned it everywhere, it had a million miles and never broke down! Just did the usual oil, filter and it carried on forever.

Saying that I was thinking about getting an i30n at some point and racechip now do one for that, but Yer least you can remove it easy enough and sell on if you wanted.

No disrespect, but with the type of car it is I personally wouldn't bother with a proper remap and just go with racechip.

Good work on the diagnosis So far, hopefully it works out.

I know what you are saying and it did cross my mind, but i didn't want to invest in the Skoda as i didn't really enjoy driving it tbh. The Civic is far superior in pretty much every way and if the only money i have to spend is the manifold and then just maintenance im happy.

So slight update, i took the map off the car last night and kept the EGR delete. The clutch is alot better for it and i can live with the stock power. The problem isn't the clutch is worn, its a design fault in the pressure plate. Any who i have called Honda UK also to fight the extortionate...

Stick one in the boot, twin engine 1.2 AWD Clio!!! Epic project!

It's weird coming on here and looking under the bonnet of a clio and it doesn't say renaultsport ha.

Parts are probably 3/400. At this stage im not looking to upgrade the turbo. If the turbo is leaking im sure Honda will let me know, however when we checked the vanes were working and it was able to hold boost with the Honda diag machine it all came back clear.

So car was dropped off to Honda today, just had a call and confirmation the exhaust is cracked. They spoke to Honda UK who would be willing to cover the cost of the parts, but not labour and it's £500 in labour :(

Add a turbo!

Just booked my car in with Honda tomorrow, they are going to confirm the exhaust manifold crack and then hopefully Honda UK will pay for the replacement/upgraded part. I checked my belt this morning after driving to work and i can see its a bit dirty on one side, i can't see it rubbing anywhere...

Yer that's right, I just changed the aux belt that was a bit of a b**ch! Hour and a half later lol. I'm going to keep the map on for a week if my clutch is the same with a little slip straight back to standard. Then if the clutch does die on me I can replace and go for the map again. Going to...

So Farhad from Premier tuning came over to my work, plugged in the Honda diag and ran turbo tests, injector tests fuel rail tests, egr test, swirl flap, tests ac tests pretty much everything and it was all good. No problem codes or anything. He said the engine was sweet. The only problem I have...
