Awesome, i haven't seen the Cosworth kit before. How come you decided on charger over turbo? Pure cost or fitting etc?

I'm sure they are able to be reprogrammed, something you would have to confirm with them. Why don't you go somewhere like Celtic tuning?

Haha that would be my normal procedure, spend a load of money on a car then sell it and loose all the money lol. I try not to think about what it owes and if it didn't need the manifold i would of been alright because its just service and brakes. I'm only changing the stereo as i hate not...

My day has just improved! I took a chance and spoke to Cox Motor Parts and gave them the part number, Wayne was able to locate the fascia for me! I will have one on Tuesday! It's expensive at £134, but i will be much happier with a genuine Honda one. @Danith can you let me know what else i need...

@Danith @Djw John Confirmed it was the heat shield. Had a look underneath and it was hanging on the exhaust. Managed to attach it again so hopefully it will last for a bit longer and i can always remove/replace at a later date. I have put the rear door cards back in after satisfying myself that...

Yer i guess you are right, i still want to find out more on the race chip side.

This video is pretty good. Turns out it connects to the fuel rail and the boost pressure sensor so it probably does control boost.

OK so looking at it a little bit more, the module plugs into the wiring loom. So basically where you would have sensors mainly fuel ones I'm assuming, connected to the car it connects to the module and then into the car. From what I can find it does control the fueling from there but as you said...

To be honest I don't know if it loads the map or not, we could do with an independent test by a tuner to see what it really does. I don't think it just ups the fuel or tricks the car to thinking it's cooler then it is to over fuel tho. I think it's better than that. I'll have to try and do some...

My understanding is that racechip put r&d into the maps for each car just like revo would do. Then once they have the map sorted they load it onto the chip and sell it. You then just plug it into obd and then I guess it loads it's map or it runs the map off the chip not sure on that. It seems...

I understand what you are saying and I agree, but i don't think the racechip is that bad compared to these tuning boxes and s**t you get on eBay.

It comes down to how much you want to spend. The fuel pumps on the DCi are pretty shocking anyways. I would go for the race chip personally on this car. If you get the higher end one you can reprogram it and use it on another car or just sell it on. Any cheap remap is just going to be a flash...

Well Honda paint isn't the best so if it hasn't been painted then it's not that surprising especially on that colour of car.

Looks pretty clean tbh, compared to others i have seen. EDIT: i was only going by the picture you posted and the level of rust.

306 GTI!

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?
