Thinking out loud, but aren’t the OE wheels likely to be heavier? Therefore, wouldn’t it be ‘better’ to fit the track tyres to the lighter TE’s?

Long time indeed! And ah, got you. Back to the drawing board, then. Have seen the Rota’s. Sorry, RAYS. Haha.

“The loudest machine on the fucking planet…!”

Bump. More of a question really, but IIRC you had custom gearing fabricated on this didn't you? Out of curiosity, who completed the works? As my brain keeps pondering a final drive for the ST and there doesn't seem to be such a thing in the Ford World for anything post 80's.

Scheming turdsacks. Oh, and hello by the way!

No personal experience with the FK8, but I would imagine that it could be 'mapped out' if using an aftermarket ECU such as Hondata. (Based on me being able to have my seatbelt warning light removed when I installed harnesses in my EP3 with the Hondata K-Pro).

Considering the Yellowstuff pads are £95 on their own I'd expect the discs to be borderline garbage. You'd be better off sticking with OEM discs and looking into which pad compound would suit the use of the car (general daily / fast road / track toy, etc.).

Women. Know your limits.

Exactly. The only way you could import from Japan at book price would be if you could somehow manage to convince a Honda dealership to part with the car at RRP privately and then arrange the importation with a separate company. Very unlikely. Especially as I can't see any vehicles not being put...

For audio you're generally looking for the highest 'amp hour' figure in a battery that has an identical or smaller footprint than OEM; and make sure that the terminals are of the correct orientation (so that your +/- wiring for the car still reaches).

I can't help but chuckle at all the 'Yanks' on the FB group. America seems a hateful place to live at the best of times; yet dealerships being allowed to virtually double the asking price of a vehicle (in some cases) over RRP is disgraceful behaviour. Owning a new vehicle shouldn't be about who...

I doubt that 255 would suit, as size recommendations are either 235 or 245. But so long as the fronts match and the rears match (rather than all matching) then that generally isn't an issue so long as they are equal in terms of performance (such as OEM Conti rear and MP4S fronts, for example).

Is there any other type of audio installation...?

The spacers themselves won't require arch rolling as a result of fitment, but it will also depend on two other aspects. Is the car lowered? And how much negative camber you have on the wheels as part of your alignment?

My shock was not as to the fact of owing the cat, but more that you would be carting it around with you on a road trip. Haha.
