I'm also looking at new tyres (fronts for my fk2) so I'll be interested to see what you think of them.

Re002 it is then.

Pretty chuffed that the manifold works with the OEM heat shield. I wasn't expecting that.

loltim · 20 Apr 2015 at 17:46

Bet that sounds immense with your backbox.

ChrisD. · 20 Apr 2015 at 18:11

I have a full exhaust mate.

Current setup: J's manifold > decat > Fujitsubo RM-01A.

Where's the heatshield? Or are you talking about the black brake shield ?

Pretty certain they had them on the MCM gramps build, so I'd imagine they must be out soon.

nice work on the j's. is it noticeably louder than the system you had with the stock manifold though Chris?

ChrisD. · 20 Apr 2015 at 20:14

No, not really. It revs better out of VTEC and there's a different note to the exhaust, more throaty and purposeful, but it's not that much louder.

Quick vid, but I had to limp home as something is blowing near the decat, need to take it back to the garage tomorrow to have it sorted.

Simon · 20 Apr 2015 at 21:14

Sounds like a civic

Guess it's the mic

I noticed the midrange with the manifold.

ChrisD. · 21 Apr 2015 at 11:56

The mic was just out of the boot and has no muffler on it, so it could be.

Garage have rung and said the car is ready, so I presume the blowing was nothing serious.

ChrisD. · 21 Apr 2015 at 14:02

Just a loose bolt between the manifold and the cat, they've double nutted it this time.

Simon · 21 Apr 2015 at 16:25

Probably better if they just tightened it up properly.

ChrisD. · 21 Apr 2015 at 17:38

Yeah.

Still have power loss at 7k rpm, starting to think it's the clutch.

Simon · 21 Apr 2015 at 18:24

Try an ecu reset. I had same issue, in the end I removed the plugs and re torqued them and problem went away.

Driving like the road is your own personal race track?

Not really necessary to cross double white lines on bends...

Simon · 21 Apr 2015 at 19:17

Pipe down diesel boy. This thread is vtec only !

Blackhawk47 · 21 Apr 2015 at 19:39

Can a you get a VTEC in a diesel engine?

EDIT: Apparently, yes.

I seem to recall you driving like a **** (albeit very slowly) in an A1 and posting it up on here.

Least I can keep between the lines lol. But yes pats on the back all round for the Honda lads.
