Type R and VTEC owners

Johnnytoxic · 17 Dec 2012 at 22:21

Thanks, will try them.

Hopefully you can leave the car with them, probably be the easiest way to do it.

Top Marques in Fenton, quite a few people I know have used them in the past and they have done an excellent job on each. They will be refurbing my alloys next year.

Not sure I'd want a crazed DeerDog refurbing my alloys

lol, in all seriousness I had mine done there, stellar job, no issues with the finish near a year on.

Kerbed one though so it's getting redone after winter, doh!

how much is it there guys? my alloys look atrocious.
some douche did a rubbish refurb on them before i has the car and the paint has crazed loads.

Has anyone heard anything with regards to Milton Keynes Wheels in Motion getting their totally hands-off alloy refurb machine line up yet?

Was shown the building phase by Tony and all looked very impressive, promised a 1 day turn around also including diamond cutting. Sort of thing I need from Jersey!

had this in my watch later section on my youtube for about a month. finally got round to watching it.

now i want a turbo

Soul.Survivor · 18 Dec 2012 at 16:23

406BHP? Wow

rjk · 18 Dec 2012 at 17:22

yeah, i know right :eek:

, looks like that DC5 has had the works done to it too, suspension etc

saw these on the Area Motorsport FB page recently too.

i want them too

Would be interesting to see how long that engine last with said turbo kit, I'm presuming standard internals!

That's nigh on double the power.

Jonnycoupe · 18 Dec 2012 at 17:54

I never see why you would want a turbo on a stock build thats rated for 500bhp (with supporting internal work)

Why not just get a 420bhp or even 350 and enjoy the lower boost threshold, especially a FWD platform. My DC2 with the GT28RS would have been an epic circuit/road car at the expense of peak power.

Non the less, good to see a fabrication build in the UK and a reasonable video explaining the steps - good old Hondata aswell.

In need of some advise on a good all rounder tyre? Are these CONTINENTAL PREMIUM CONTACT 5 a good all rounder for my 2003 Civic?

You're looking at 260 inc tyres refitted/rebalanced etc but the finish is great, I do clean my wheels regularlyish though

Johnnytoxic · 18 Dec 2012 at 23:51

Two of my front wheels are completely corroded. I blame the hand car wash guys with their super strong brick acid.

I've bought a set of 4 good condition oem alloys for £300. I'll replace my two corroded ones then sell each wheel separately, hopefully won't be too far off the 300. Cheaper than £290 refurb, least I'll have my alloys to sell on.

Type r?

Realistically please guys :

What MPG can you get driven nicely? I'm all for a good spirited drive, but in the summer I sometimes am doing 50 miles combined trip to work and back.

On a Fiesta? On a EP3? DC2? S2000?

-Mike- · 19 Dec 2012 at 00:17

Damn it. Rock and hard place.

If I could work out what my 220T did, then I'd probably look at the Honda figures and not be worried. However, my diesel has cost me £1600 in repairs in the last year..... thats a lot of vtec.
