Welcome back :cool:

I was wondering where you'd got to.

Car is looking much better. I love the wheels, and the brakes too, although they need to be bigger ;)

I'm going to get Rover decals on my new brakes (they are MG ZS brakes anyway).

Exhaust is a *little* large, but I bet it sounds nice. Honda's always sound fantastic with big exhausts.
 
Yeah the exhaust is far too large for my liking, but the noise of it attached to a 2.2L Vtec is to die for.

As i'm getting older i'm getting more boy racerish, someone slap me :p
 
Love the wheels, what did it RR at? All you really need to do is ditch the tango'd lights at the front for clears + orange bulbs :)
 
is that just one Hid to show the difference? Because the right hand as you look at the picture still looks halogen? What you put in the fuel to make it flame the glow dont look like a petrol flame but a spirit of some kind?

Yeah it's one HID to show the difference. And nothing other than petrol produced that flame, it's a still capture of a video but I haven't the bandwidth to host it.

Detangoing is on the list, just need to get round to ordering the bits to do it
 
Cheers for the comments guys

quick question... did you decat make much of a difference to the performance?

It made the car rev a lot free'er, Problem is i fitted the cat back and the decat at the same time so it's difficult to tell. Vtec crossover is more noticable.

I need to get it tuned somewhere as it's not running anywhere near what it should be, I know the mobile rolling roads should be taken with a pinch of salt, but it only managed 182bhp at the fly. Brand new straight out of the factory and on 100ron fuel it should be 197bhp. On the same road ConfusedTA's UK one with an induction kit and a decat and 170k on the clock managed 192bhp and the UK ones are 185bhp as stock.
