Thoughts on arb? I think it's a nice bit of kit, well as much as a piece of over expensive metal can be

I did quite a bit today, inc all the fast road stuff, but its not been set up till Thursday. My dad came out of Hospital today, so I've only drove it to pick him up, as the Cambers done by Eye for now. However, it did feel like I needed to turn the wheel less to corner, and felt a little more planted. Could be Placebo effect, Ive only done about 6 miles in it!

New exhaust off :). New bpipe needed a grinder to it as the weld is too big stopping the bolts going through :(. Should be sorted soon.

Exhaust on and love it. Not too loud and easily track material. The weight difference between this one and the piper was noticeable and actually feels better now and the sound of the induction kit compliments the exhaust. Feels quicker too but prob a mixture of the cold weather and its a new exhaust. Will get pics up tomo :)

Will that back box fit to the standard system so it's not loud or do you need a b pipe ?

Fits to the standard mate. Although a lot of people replace the centre pipe and leave the standard backbox, sounds nice too aparantly

I had the bigger unsilenced middle pipe with the standard backbox for about a month, it's so raspy, lol!

Yeah I will be at some stage mate. Thinking it will run lean if its not mapped? Also those japspeed ones you put a link up for, reckon they are any good? 200 seems pretty good. Was offered a toda one for 450 lol

Haha! I am getting a bit bored of it tbh.

It's changed a bit since then in sound too. Obviously bedded in, lol!

Mines a Silenced 2.5" B Pipe with a 4" Backbox, I rarely go above 2.5k revs now, just get a feint rumble then. Sounds amazing, like a Touring Car when I rev it to 8600, but I couldnt live with it that loud daily. On the plus side, Im granny driving it to keep the noise down and getting some nice MPG ;)

My Civic is going tomorrow, I had my last drive of it today... I'll miss it as it's been a flawless car, and I'll continue to believe that it's a better car to own than a Clio.

Yeah I've had a decent offer so I've accepted it... I'm going to use the Jimny until I've built up my finances then I'll buy a cheap track car, an MX-5 is top of the list.
