Thought it was about time I posted up a thread on here seeing as Ive made a few changes to my car!
I picked it up a few months ago, totally standard, 43k on the clock and all but one service stamp in the book (12k service missing) it had also just had the belts done. So I gave it a quick clean and met up with some friends and got some pics:
First thing I did was fit a smaller front plate and replaced the rear one with one without any dealership markings.
The wheels weren't in the best condition so I got them refurbished in white and sprayed the front diamond white.
Not the best picture in the world, stupid iPhone! Will get some better ones soon.
I took a trip to London to run the car on the rollers at RedDot and came back with the following graph:
176.7bhp @ 6200rpm & 161.0lbft @ 5400rpm
Figures may seem high considering the engine side of things is totally standard as far as I am aware so Im happy but Im not too sure about the reliability of rollers as one car that had run 160bhp there in the past only ran 151bhp and a friends Civic Type R ran 218bhp with only an AEM long ram induction kit & Supersprint b pipe & back box which seems a bit high?
Future plans Ive got for it are a set of coilovers to lower the ride height slightly, paint the bullets & remaining badges white, fit an exhaust of some description, induction of some description and remap it.
