As requested...
the only half decent ones i have...taken yesterday after a Clay right before the heavens opened

[craig]

Typical, it pours down after wash/waxing the car!

Looks super shiny though dude, nice work

[DV54]

[marc GT Turbo]

very nice looking motor there simon my old 2 was a red one ! they do look the dogs danglys all polished up i like the wheels in that colour to

[DV54]

thanks Marc!
my pref. was white...i almost bought a '96 white turbo t-bar...however i made a 560mile roundtrip for nothing (lad wouldnt let the car go even though i wanted it) which was a shame, but yano!
am happy with this....even tho its a non turbo
the wheels were done about 2months ago apparently, SCM in Sunderland i believe, top job!

[marc GT Turbo]

so whats the future plans then m8 ? there are always plans

[DV54]

oh theres always plans

well i'm in the process of sorting out the interior...its had some rubbery vinyl thing stuck to the plastic panels which aint to my taste, so buying up standard parts.

then, i fancy rear window tints, coily's, wheels 16/17's, exhaust & decat...but in what order and what brands i dont know!

has to be exhaust and de cat

[DV54]

recommendations? expected gains?

i was fancying something which looks relatively OEM, and not too loud or garish...as i do a fair bit of commuting (mainly motorway)

Mongoose with decat took my fancy

[marc GT Turbo]

i went through a good few exhausts on my na before i got the right one for me! i ended up with a remus , which in turn had a lovely growl but wasnt to loud. but most of all the performance was better . i had a blue flame but it was just to loud and like yourself i do alot of motorway miles and was headache time. and i personally felt i had to rev the nuts off the car to perform. i put an induction kit on my na also but i fed it directly into the side intake to keep it away from engine heat soak . this made a huge difference to the car . with the right induction kit , decat and exhaust your looking at 20 bhp tops , but it does make a difference . i run on v power fuel at all times to. good quality spark plugs help.

[DV54]

well looking from the receipts which came with the car, it had a set of NGK plugs fitted in April, which was 4k miles ago

its got what i think is a Blitz LM induction kit (the blue/grey gauze one), makes a rather nice noise, although its been fitted badly

i'll have a look at the Remus ones, thanks mate


i had a BuddyClub Spec 3 on my Civic Type R...that was worse than loud...was living on painkillers, lol

[marc GT Turbo]
