Soldato
Mfactory is decent, had one of them in my civic. Much like the quiafe atb, nice road manners.
Standard clutch strong enough to cope with the charger?

Mfactory one man, so it's a helical 1 way diff.
Excited to see the difference, unsure when I'm gonna fit it though, maybe next month
I thought it was a worthwhile purchase with the SC happening.
Always fancied a coupe and it's a fairly nice car to sit in with the leather interior. i test drove a 2l one and it felt about as quick as my 1.4 vw golf.
I've asked about the car to find out:
Standard or not - he advised he removed the rear wiper (presume i can get one fitted again) and the wheels have been refurbed in gun metal
Interior quality - he says its fine no tears or anything and electrics work inside
Any problems getting into 2nd - he said it doesn't he checked this before buying it
any pull in steering - which he said there isnt
Service History - all done at local non dealer garage matching the honda spec, just been serviced at just over 112k miles
Tyres - they're bridgestone all round with a good bit of life
And now the only bad point which although isn't major it may annoy me... He said the key fob won't lock the car remotly all the time. it will unlock it but not lock it. he has to use the key. Any ideas if its something electrical what kinda cost it would cost to sort out and if its something on the key fob what the general cost is for a new key? Paid £225 for a key for my VW
He's 10 miles or so away so thought i'd get all the questions in before taking it for a spin
How did I miss this earlier on?!
That little car is going to be immense Nath!

immensely expensive?
Oooowh
Since when was NA (read: Honda) modding cheap?
Today it was high rpm and clutch coming up slow enough not to ruin the diff but quick enough to break traction and spin the wheels (which is what I intended). Instead revs went to about 6k and the car moved forward without breaking traction and by the time I'd put it into 2nd it was back to normal. Des was behind me in his Evo 5 and said afterwards that it stunk of burnt clutch while this was going on.
Found this article:

And after reading that I think it's the CDV and the fact that I am not launching it correctly.
I'm assuming that the CDV action brought the clutch in slowly which would explain the spell.
