Type R and VTEC owners

No but thats not my point. Why do you want to compromise it (without suitale fixes) by lowering it but then not uprate the dampers either.

Or is it purely a cosmetic thing? The 2006 is the softest of the lot and suffer from being slightly underdamped. Just putting lowering springs on is now different than the cheap coilover approach

I don't agree with you to be honest. I prefer the way the car drives with the sprigs on. It's firmer through corners, there's less roll and it's just as comfortable as it was before. I don't see the need to spend in excess of a grand for half decent dampers when my stock ones are doing just fine.

If the day comes when my dampers need replacing then I may look elsewhere.

Tbh Simon I am not 100% sure what geo was done as I have had a print out. I'll give TGM a ring and find out.

 

[ChrisD.]

Bumps haven't been an issue at all. I've driven the car like I normally do and I haven't had to change my style/attitude.

 

[ChrisD.]

Can you get those matts in black?

Just realised, my Cisco brace still isn't hear. Nor is my Flashpro.

 

[ChrisD.]

Refurbished wheel is through. It has some tiny marks on it, for what I'm paying, should I be disappointed and contact the 'seller'?

What other mods you go to go with the flashpro ? This isn't a K20 so you need at least a decat to see any gains. These gains will be midrange too due to the lower vtec. Throttle on the DBW also gets sharper too

Flashpro on a stock engine won't do much.

Stock for now, I'll get a decat at some point.

The "kick" is put into the map for an effect by Honda. The kick is not a smooth mapping.

The kick was mapped in by Honda on the K20 series, but not the earlier models AFAIK.

 

[ChrisD.]

I've seen mid range gains and improved MPG. I'm going to order one anyway.

 

[ChrisD.]

Where to get one from? Japspeed any good?

 

[ChrisD.]

And do you need a spacer, or O2 sim?

 

[ChrisD.]

MOTs aren't a concern for me, but VOSA roadside pulls are.

 

[ChrisD.]

Any UK distributors?

 

[ChrisD.]

Cheers, just ordered.

 

[ChrisD.]

Haters.

 

[ChrisD.]

Which is open to interpretation if you spend time reading up on S2KI and other skip forums.

 

[ChrisD.]

Just because I believe that there are gains to be made on a standard car doesn't mean I can't order a HFC or other parts for noise and other improvements.

 

[ChrisD.]

It's never easy is it? I can't upload Mase's map as my ECU doesn't have a VIN set. Looks like a trip to the dealer is needed.

 

[ChrisD.]

Sorry, but I saw one on the road the other day and I laughed a little inside.

 

[ChrisD.]

I've been looking at the Fujitsubo RM01A for mine, £850 from Japan, twin exit and JASMA certified so you won't look like a chav.

 

[ChrisD.]

That's another one I had on the shortlist really. There doesn't seem to be a massive amount of choice for good systems for the S2000 really.

Nope. And when you find something half decent, it's single exit only which might look okay on a track car, but for a car that spends 95% of its time on the road it looks stupid.
