Really good! Where the Milltek is really quiet, almost too quiet, the filter gives it that nice kinda roar when you push the loud pedal......... really good combo now, quiet when you want it, naughty when it needs to be lol!
Now I have the 182 looking just as I want it, I thought it was about time I got some photos up in this part of the forum......... usual subtle modifications like the Fabia splitter, Cooksports, spacers, Milltek cat-back and KTR induction etc but as you can see, it's all about the oem+ with this...
The car looks soooo clean there, it's just ridiculous :laughing::laughing:
I'd paint the blanks too, but that's just me, let's be honest..... it'll look cool either way lol!
I had a K&N panel in the standard air-box but it still felt a bit restricted, so changed it for the K-Tec Racing induction kit (which the fatty is a cheaper alternative to) and the difference is noticeable and it sounds awesome! Mine isn't a daily car tho so heat soak on the cone isn't an issue...
That looks stunning, sounds like you couldn't have timed that better as you said :up: Thought my Arctic 182 was good on 70k but 44k, wow!
Interesting about the Civic, I've had 2 EP3 Type-R's, a 2003 anniversary pre-facelift and a 2005 cosmic grey facelift, great cars but when I took the grey...
Cheers for that buddy, will go in armed with that information to get one :up::up:
Stupid question............... easy to fit?
P.S. love the centre caps!
That's interesting about the gear gaitor, that's a Renault genuine part for that price?
Mine has the standard issue where the clips break and mine is loose........ it's well stuck down, then you'll put it in reverse and it comes loose again grrrrrrr......... need a new one!!! lol
That looks soo smart in those after show pics, loving the tripod!! :smile:
Looks a complete mission with the speakers but well worth it, I had Focal's in my old Civic Type-R and they sounded great, they are an expensive speaker new!
That was my thought! So I wasn't crazy to think that then haha it just kind of looks wedged in there doesn't it!?!? Can't see why though!! As said, to me that just looks like it would restrict air-flow rather than improve it!
That's interesting to know :up::up:
I couldn't believe it when I saw that, BUT does it look like it's just been wedged in there!? Who knows, but yes that's the standard bend that the breather comes off
Not done that with the acoustic valve, that's a new one on me! Worth doing?
I got the KTR induction kit fitted today and wow, certainly adds a bit of noise which is what I wanted and sounds pretty naughty after 5k revs, BUT it's not over the top......... great quality kit, you get what you pay for as they say, all the brackets and fittings were included and all went...
Yeah that's what I think with mine, it's not about a huge bhp gain but more about feeling smoother etc......... although interestingly, I thought it would take out the 5k kick, but peak power still seems to be 5k+
The fatty kit is just a more 'diy' version of the k-tec isn't it? My mate's...
Yeah that's the one, got it from K-Tec's website....... not sure on the map as not been rolling roaded, feels responsive but i don't expect a huge increase tbh! More about the 'drivability'
So I was on the internet the other night, as you do, and this happened 🙈😂
Since the Milltek exhaust was fitted I've been loving the quiet.... it's what I wanted.... but the car is almost too quiet now! So after seeing (and hearing!) a friend's 172 with a fatty set-up, I...
Haha yeah we've all been there with different cars! My classic example is my old red Fiesta RS Turbo, sold it 4 years ago and still regret it everyday, was running 195bhp and popped and chattered like a good 'un but looked standard (see, always been about the oem 😂 ) . BUT...
