Feck me! Just those mods I would expect that to be at the flywheel! Chris

Very nice motor IMO. As long as it is std looking i.e. original wheels and mint body work. Being a turbo they can be tuned to silly power but std I dont think they are too quick... Chris

Hill = cliff ;) Chris

Lol I think the drop in performance was very gradual. We wouldnt really have noticed but when at York my times were 1/2 second slower and 4mph less! With the new plugs in it is like when I first drove it with Rsport and decat on...Im smiling again!! :D Chris

Lol I think that track day didnt help! My m8 reckoned they werent too badly worn, but once they were replaced they made a difference. Maybe there was a dodgy connection... Chris

I just replaced mine after 17000 hard miles. It has made a world of difference. They are std ones iirc and are NGK platinum tipped Chris

Weird. Mine made not real diff bad or good. Just sounds better... Chris

I think there was a test on 5th gear once where they swapped tyres on a wet slalom track.....ice skate city! Chris

Im sure there is m8 but just post your car on here and someone will photosop it for you... Chris

I have had all the rattles/knocks but I still love it! Chris

I like it IMO. Looks a bit like the 106 kit (Maxi?) Chris

Yeah sounds like the same thing. Something to do with having ABS? Chris

Not sure of the cost but I wouldnt have thought it would be massively improved.. Chris

Mine does this on full lock when its bumpy... Chris

They are colour coded m8. I didnt realise but I saw Wayne + Kathys at Curborough and they had glossy black trim. And the Blue has the glossy blue trim.... Chris

My Cup gets about 30mpg average although I reset my comp at Curborough and got 11.5mpg! Chris p.s. I think this was after Nic had razzed round!;)

Yeah shes a bit like that. Badun ;) Chris

Yeah I can see he expects 100% accuracy! Chris

Where are you from m8. I know that some places that do powerflow are really cack. The place in Burnley (Top Gear) is very good IMO. If you look on the CTR forum, youll find that the people on there are willing to travel hundreds of miles to go. Sam(funky) who went to Curborough is coming up from...

Doesnt matter what car you get m8, you can still come to the meets and stuff. Chris

I got one done on my 5 turbo and it cost about £60 and if youre booked in then I wouldnt have thought it would be too long. Chris

Im sure 172s were 16 and cups were 17? Chris

I think the old Civic type R had LSD tho. But 0-100 wasnt that good. Chris

How do you mean m8. It clearly says Honda?! Chris

I suppose you could check it on the digital oil level on the dash? I think Honda did the best with the Civic Type R. Right on the top of the engine (no it aint next to the sump plug!) Chris

Lol c**k-end!;) Chris

Not sure. Think it was about £100 fitted. Just be sure they set it up correctly. When I first got it, it was a little better. Had it rrd a month or so later and he had a tinker with it and that made a much more noticable difference. Chris

I used to have a 1.2 8v. One of the most noticable mods I got was a FSE powerboost valve. Once it was set up properly it made a noticeable diff. I found I didnt have to drop throu the gears every time I had to slow down/speed up slightly. Chris

Richs has never been the same since that massive crash he had... (joking) :p Chris

Thats the problem. I dont usually give it much in 1st as it spins too easily. I made a concerted(sp) effort to take it easy when I picked it back up. Pretty much the first time I gave it a bit (in 2nd tho) I could hear a slight knock when coming on cam. Sounds/feels terrible! Chris
