Have you tried wd40 on the screws and using a pair of grips to undo them? Failing that using a dremel to grind the heads off and then remove the top part of the box grind the screws that are in the bottom half down a bit then drill the rest out! Obviously taking the air box out first if you can...

I've changed my filter for a inJen cai so I have a itg filter for the standard air box its only done a couple thousand miles max so is like new still I could let you have it for next to nothing if your ever around the south west?

Welcome Paul What colour have you gone for dude?

Stick with the type-r mate street racing or not quicker or not the civic type-r has 1 thing over the vxr and that's class I've been in a astra vxr and my mates monaro vxr they 're over rated unlike the type-r which everyone knows and can't dispute is a great car :)

The valve clearances are a 1 hour job which shouldn't cost any more than £100 max mine cost £80 at my local Honda garage :)

That's fair enough thanks for the reply I don't want to cause you or anyone hassle everyone should be able to share there opinions and experiences with others to help others avoid having problems without fears of legal action or any other kind of hassle! This country has gone to pot when you...

hi hasnic Why have they got a bad reputation on the forums? I've not heard of anyone having work done by them and having problems with what's been done Who would you personally recommend using for modifying and garage work? Also if anyone else has suggestions on who they recommend using...

Hi Jamest yeah I know what your saying but cpl are not just advertising in there lots of the guys that show off there cars that are modified are in there have had there cars done there which is not down to cpl paying the magazine! I know cpl have a good reputation with people in the tuning trade...

Depends if you know a local garage that would do it for you or if you have a mate that's a mechanic that could do it on the side it could cost as little as £20 cash for someone to do the work! Where do you live? If your local to me I know garages that would do it for a few quid on the side! I'm...

Yeah that makes total sense piper is a good manifold which is not too expensive with a sports cat supplied and fitted is about £700 which will keep the car road legal but a decat is better for power but you will need the cat for mot time and if in the unlucky situation the boys in blue stop you...

Hi frankstaH I would quote prices but its difficult as my ecu had been damaged by my local garage when they fitted a 02 simulator incorrectly which had to be diagnosed first! I had a inJen cold air intake supplied and fitted and a piper manifold and sports cat with es mounts a hondata k100...

Jamest you were bob on with your guess work on bhp its now 175bhp at the wheels which I believe is around 210 at the flywheel I have to say a massive thankyou to cpl racing for the work they did on my car the power curve on the rolling road print out shows a near perfect power curve which is...

That's not good dude I'm guessing that's going to be expensive to sort out!

Ok cool I will ask them how much to supply an fit 1 when they have it as they can tune it with it on there thanks JamesT for your advise so I will post here to say what I get

I saw those for sale on cpls website they look good how much power should that gain me do you think?

Ok cool so what's the best price cold air intake mate?

Thanks JamesT I reckon I would be happy with that but wasn't sure as some people have done similar mods but not exactly the same brands and they on average are saying they have 230 to 242 bhp at the flywheel

Ok thanks Chris do you have any idea what sort of power I should be expecting from all that's done to my car?

Get the valves adjusted dude I got mine done its perfect now if its the valves it will be quiet when warm! I also noticed mine was more responsive an seemed quicker after! Honda can do it in an hour but need your car to be cold to Do the work they are supposed to be checked every 25,000 miles so...

Hi guys Just wanted to post a question does anyone know how to calculate bhp from the wheels to the flywheel? Or flywheel to wheel? Any ideas on the formula that's used would be great as I'm taking my car to cpl racing next week to get a performance manifold and sports cat fitted to my nur...

Thanks griffin for the reply So does it sound like mine is open loop mode? The idling didn't go back to normal when the car was up to temp eml light is on all the time should there be a code for that fault? How can it be fixed?

Well they have fucked up there cause I was planning on getting the header and sports cat and getting the hondata ecu and getting it rolling road tuned but I feels cheated by them now

So what bad experience have you had with cpl racing? IF you don't mind me asking hasnic

What is open loop? Could that be what's causing my warning light an idling higher than normal? How do I sort it?

Yeah can you explain further milanoChris? Also does anyone know why my car is now idling around the 2,000rpm with the warning light on? Only since the o2 simulator was fitted ? :( The o2 simulator was brand new from cpl racing! Hes offering me a refund or that I can pop to the garage like the...

ok that makes sense the problem i have is that now the warning light is on that the simulator should have sorted out and its ticking over at nearly 2,000rpm and not around 850rpm! looking to find out how to fix this issue dude :(

why is that? does anyone know why the light came on and why its idling at 2 thousand rpm ?

The o2 simulator is supposed to fool the ecu into thinking everything is fine! Which is the alternative to the k100 or kpro to sort! Also my car is now ticking over at around 1,800 to 2,000rpm

Can anyone help my local garage have gutted my cat and fitted the o2 simulator I bought from cpl racing and the warning light has come on! My garage have taken it to a local car electrical place to check its wired in properly and they Said its wired in correctly and reset it but the light...

Yeah they should be done when the engine is cold like milaoChris said I took my car to the garage Monday and they did the valves Tuesday morning it only took them an hour to do I've noticed how Honda garage prices vary even locally but Honda charged £80 an hour well worth it to get it running...

Yeah they needed adjusting not sure how much *** Just got to start saving up for My manifold an sports cat then Hondata and remap next year need more power :)

Hi guys just to let You know I've got my car back from Honda today the valve adjustment seems to have made all the difference seems more responsive an feels more powerful when hitting vtec? The guy at Honda said he had a ctr and said it feels just like his and other ctr's so seems to have solved...

But if you want to check and adjust the valves yourself there is a thread Mr the forum somewhere for it! Personally I would rather Honda check it! I may be wrong but cold would probably be best mainly cause your liable to burn yourself if you touch something hot! Honda I would imagine would...

If it wasn't serviced at Honda I would bet it hasn't been done so many garages don't realise they need adjusting most just assume they are self adjusting Honda will charge around £80 to do it well worth trying that! You can buy a fault code reader but I've heard before that sometimes they don't...

If the car is kangarooing from past experience with other cars it could be a head gasket but that would be like it all of the time!

Hi siezar when did she last have a value adjustment done on her car? Might be nothing to do with her problem but they can rattle if they need adjusting according to Honda They should be checked every 25,000 miles

But a soft bristled paint brush like Craigsy46 said would work a peach

Use a k&n recharge kit dude they sell them in halfords or any good car shops it comes with a cleaner to wash out the oil and dust then let it dry naturally or in a airing cupboard don't use an air line cause they can be brutal an damage it the kits cost around £20 which should do a couple...

There's a place near where I live that does a rolling road so if you wanted to do a compare its £40 plus vat! Yeah I wanna compare mine as well I've got an ITG replacement filter in mine and a full blitz nur spec r exhaust

Haaa sounds like a plan I'm near taunton in Somerset so maybe we can compare performance! But this is the point where you tell me you have a supercharger or turbo on yours! Is yours stock or modified?

Thanks for all the advice I am inclined to agree the rolling roads are only good if your tuning them

I've got the car going into Honda Tuesday next week to plug it in and see if theses any problems going on an the valves are going to be adjusted view believe that the valves could be be causing such a power loss! The guy that did the rolling road said on car was running slightly rich but moving...

That's true Honda have told me that if the valves haven't been re adjusted that could make it run bad an drop power! Could that honestly cause such a problem? Mine hasn't been done as far as I can see for 50 thou!

Hi thanks for replying My ctr was the only 1 they did a run on an older shape integra type-r and that was putting out 211 at the flywheel the guys computer was altering it automatically! he said mine was only 139. Something at the wheels my car was last serviced in January

Hi everyone I've just joined the forum I'm driving a 2004 ctr facelift model I put my car on a rolling road at Japfest last weekend an got a shock when they told me my car was only putting out 171.8bhp at the flywheel which is alot less than I was expecting does anyone know what could be...
