Have you done the big 3 under the bonnet. Basically the 3 cables, usually 4 gauge, but 0 gauge being the best which include Battery to chassis Engine to chassis Alternator to battery?

Replacement filter for AEM V2 - http://www.funkypower.co.uk/catalogue.php?make=HONDA&model=CIVIC&year=2001%2B+EP3+CIVIC+TYPE+R&level1=AIR+INDUCTION&level2=AIR+FILTERS&level3=UNIVERSAL+CONE+FILTERS&id_product=6789

I have just gone from an AEM v2 back to a standard air box. Actually prefer listening to the smooth exhaust tone of a piper non res (amazing deep tone) compared to the AHHHHHHH in your face from the induction kit. lol. Vtec is more like boost in a way where it just picks up speed quite quickly...

NHB for me. Hard to keep clean, but looks best when time has been taken to get the paint looking its best.

I did do that, but I feel the need to experiment and try something else while still using the standard air box. :)

People say many things, people also like to join the band wagon also. Personally I would like to read first hand experience with using the mugen airbox with dyno results to prove how poor people say this air box is. I myself can't see much benefit but then again, I'm no engineer, just an...

Why not try giving it a go yourself. I plan to try this and refurb my wheels at the same time. If you try it and dont like the colour, simply peel it off...

Just thinking out loud really. After spending some time looking at various induction kits and the shape and design of them, they all seem to have an air filter which is enclosed in a tightly fitted surround. For example, the GM, a round air filter enclosed in a tightly fitted carbon case with...

I was thinking the same thing recently tyre wise, but went for a 215/40/17 prada spec 2. Seems that a lot of people don;t rate them on here but they handle fine in the rain if you don;t drive like an idiot. Even managed to drive up my steep road (quite steep actually) overtaking people in 4x4s...

I buy all my leds from ultraleds.co.uk Might be a little more £ but over the years of buying led bulbs from them, none of them have ever burned out or died. Still got the same set from 3 years ago in my current car...

I think they are quite good in my opinion. I currently use Osram Nightbreakers with good results on H4 also. Quite a difference in brightness and distance over many cars with standard lamps. Nothing like HID's and never will be but much more light output and whiter also. :) As for the light...

As far as I know, Castrol make Halfords oil at the moment. I myself use Fuchs 5W40 as recommended by Opie Oils.

I have a non res piper on my civic ep3. Quite loud even with the cat in. Silly loud with the decat pipe in (tried it, took it out) lol Video was taken off my samsung note but it's a rough idea sound wise. Best to watch in 720p for better sound and video. :)...

Nice looking motor. So far looks exactly the same as mine. Heko wind deflectors, such a cheap mod but looks really good! Prefer these to the stick on ones. Took them straight off when I had my skyline not knowing that I could of sold them for a pretty penny. Hey ho. lol

Ahh fair enough. Thanks for that :)
