Headrest brackets are always good for this type of thing. You put them over/around the uprights of the headrest, then put the headrest in the slider brackets. If not, try and find a clamp bracket that will allow you to have the GoPro anywhere. When I was drifting, I used a clamp mount and put it...

Anything VW = Boring!! I’d rather spit in my hand and have a posh w@nk than drive one. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

It depends on what part of the suspension mounting area is suffering. If it’s lower arms, then yeah that’s gonna happen. Take them off, assess the issues, if it’s fixable then treat it and paint it and put them back on. If not replace them with new or newer items. If it’s rust on the shell...

Awesome news bud. Looks like a tidy little car. Can’t wait to see updates on this one. Once I find out what’s happening with my job, I’ll be back on the lookout. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

It’s actually an ancient Hawaiian signal meaning all is okay or hello depending on the situation. It’s got nothing to do with “scene” kids :rolleyes: Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

What possible reason could they attribute to a loss in performance by putting spacers on their wheels? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Blimey. Name blast from the past. How you doing bud? FK imo. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Be aware that ad is for 1 wheel only. Not a full set. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Things you want to check are the PCD of the bolts is the same, they should be 5x114.5. There would be no reason for them to not match, but you never know. And secondly the offset. OEM offset is et62 if I remember rightly. So anything below that eg. et42 will be good. It’s just to make sure they...

Good choice bud. A smaller wheel that is a little closer, seems to make the MX5 a far more engrossing drive, even more than it is to start with. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

In the description box. It may be you only see it on the Tapatalk app. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Why does the description for that video say that both cars are using twin turbos? Yet more proof that people don’t look into the thing they’re reviewing :rolleyes: Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I’m hoping to K Swap my next drift build. It seems to be getting popular in the US right now as they are cheap and make good power in stock internals. Top work by the way. Looks mint. I love RX7’s. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I’ve been in numerous drift cars running HSD’s, on tracks that are bumpy and crappy, and I’ve always found them to be good. I drove a turbo’d MX5 on them and it felt good to me. They are very responsive, not as harsh as the coil overs on my MX at the time, and had good adjustment. Some people...

Sorry David wasn’t aware you had a newer turbo’d Civic. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Oil catch cans are really only of any value on boosted cars IMO. They relieve some of the pressure on the heads and as a by product catch the excess oils blown out. My Skyline had a Mishi one that was for LHD. It’s just a matter of adapting the mounts. Even on the highest boost map and with a...

Looks to be decent bud. Good grade of stainless and all TIG welded. Should do the job. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

No worries. It wasn’t so loud you couldn’t hear conversations or the radio, but you definitely had to speak louder than normal to be heard. It would drone horrendously before the silenced section went in, but wasn’t anywhere near as bad once it was in. There was still a noticeable hum though...

It wasn’t night and day as such. But it was easier to live with. It didn’t have the ear battering high note that Spoons are famous for. Mine was matched with an AEM cold air so that does add a degree of noise, but the main part was the exhaust. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I had the Supersprint unsilenced centre section with an N1 and it was loud. And I mean really loud. Startup was bad but when you hit around 4000rpm the drone was nye on unbearable. I swapped out for silences centre and it made it a lot more livable. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

You could make all the FK owners jealous as you’d have twice what they have. Probably look a damn site better as well :lol: Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Nice Si, they’ll look great with the silver paint :cool: Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I think Harry, you have your answer :lol: Just don’t do it bud. You will regret it later on when you try to sell the car and either have to get a new bumper or tell the new owner why you drilled holes in this one ;) Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

You drill fug off great holes in the bumper, thus destroying it. Then fit these. They are “supposed” to eliminate the parachute effect at high speeds. Basically all they do is destroy a perfectly good bumper and make you look like a tool. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I had a Metro Turbo lump in my old Mini. The turbo went where the glovebox would normally be. You basically cut the bulkhead/firewall and build a box into it. The turbo then sat in there. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I had the K Tuned Hall Effect on my DC5 and it was fantastic. Easy to fit, well made and super simple to setup. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

You have to be on drugs!!

Nurburgring times mean absolutely bugger all on a real road. I do love how the new TypeR owners go straight for the “My car set the new FWD record around the Nurburgring” card! Wah wah wah :rolleyes: There is not a single fcuking chance any person on here would come anywhere near that time...

Wind your neck in!! You’re driving a fcuking Honda not a Lambo. I’m sure a 911 Turbo would dispense of you in a heartbeat. :rolleyes: There are some seriously deluded people in this thread. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Looks great Jamie. Nice to one in OEM spec. You’ve scored well there bud ;) Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Hardly missed out on “the best TypeR”. EK9, DC5, NSX R Model. All demand far more respect than just another turbo car. If Americans want an Impreza lookalike, they just go buy an Impreza. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

If you can get in with a hacksaw blade or a small hacksaw, you can slot the heads of the screws and use a flat blade to remove them. Just use plenty of WD to help ease them out. Hopefully this helps ;) Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Might be best to talk to a specialist importer. 200BHP Cars or Torque GT would be my first port of call. Especially Torque, they specialise in Hondas of all varieties and have a massive customer base, myself included when I got my DC5 from them. Best of luck bud, you may be on the search for a...

Sounds like a good option bud. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

You used to be able to get one from Super Sprint (?) that was quite popular. Or you could get a custom one made up if you know of a decent exhaust place. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I had a full Spoon system on my first EP and it was LOUD!! At the time I didn’t mind it, but my missus hated it. A silenced centre is way more ear friendly. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I wasn’t questioning to be an arse Stu, just wasn’t aware of the reasons as I thought you were more than happy with M. No offence meant bud ;) Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Really?? Does that not feel like a step backwards? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Mine was mainly little muppets from the local area in their Mums' Audis trying to show off to their mates. Or the local drug dealers in their Bimmers trying to see what would happen. 99% of the time I just ignored it. But there was always one or two that I liked to play with :lol: Sent from my...

Had it all the time in the Skyline. It looked a bit ratty because it was built for drifting. Seemed to bring on all comers thinking it was a sh@t heap, but soon got a shock when I wiped the floor with them. Nigh on 400whp and 450lb torque, complete with cams and a built engine, soon sorts the...

Really like these. Great choice dude, enjoy. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Oh wow. That’s a special kind of stupid. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

YAS Simon!! So glad this went to someone from the forum. Can’t wait to see what you and Jamie do with it. :cool: Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

No worries bud. It’s better to be safe than sorry ;) Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Great! It’s now ugly in a stupid colour :rolleyes: Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

To get turbo flutter or boost noise, you need to alter something somewhere in the engine bay. Whether this will affect your warranty is down to the dealer. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I think Tegiwa do a bolted in version that fits in the OEM seatbelt position by your shoulder. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

You need a harness bar bud to lift those harnesses high enough. If they’re too low, which they most likely are right now, you’re risking spinal injuries in a crash. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I remember going to Japfest at Castle Combe a few years back with the DC5 owners forum. We had about 60 cars all leaving the services. It was great to see everyone’s faces of disbelief at how many of the same car were there. :lol: Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Nice bud. Milano ones are quite few and far between over here. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

What’s the plans bud? Keep the pics coming. Always good to see people’s builds ;) Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Good to see you’re still in it Si. It really is a credit to you as well. Possibly the cleanest EP out there, especially seeing as it gets driven how it should be ;) Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

See, if this car was a Volvo, ahem **cough cough Karl!!** you’d have set fire to it a long time ago. :lol: Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I’m with Jimbo. My DC5 was 256bhp with 204lbs torque. There was no vast difference between that and a friends EP3 that was 225bhp and 193lbs torque. The only car I felt was vastly different was Dottys DC5 with the Rev marching on a KPro. If you were pootling along, VTec was normal. But if you...

As long as the nuts have the correct taper at the wheel end, they’ll be all good bud. From what i remember, the wheel nuts on my DC5 had to be changed when I swapped the OEM wheels for aftermarket ones. Tegiwa do sell a converter collar that you buy by the single unit, this turns the OEM wheel...

Still get updates of sorts through IG. Last I saw it was getting wide bodied and a complete colour change and some Ballet wheels. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

3M VHB tape should do the job. You can buy it by the metre on eBay or Amazon. It’s slightly foamy so conforms better to the shape of the car. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Karl’s car was 143db. Helen Keller was a deaf woman. It was a joke. Obviously went over your head ;) Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

That’s because the exhaust could have deafened Helen Keller!! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I thought there was a turbo on that for a minute H. The air filter straight on the mani had me fooled :lol: Watched a vid on YouTube a couple of days back and the guy had a B18’d Z Cars Mini. Looked like an absolute handful. But hella fun!! :twisted: Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Buy hardrace, get good quality. Strip the paint and paint them black. Simples. :rolleyes: Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Used them on my MX5 and Skyline. Great things and really handy for quick removal of the bumper for jobs. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Ah gotya! Give Paul a shout though bud, explain the situ and I’m sure he could come up with an idea or two. He looks dumb but he’s a pretty clever guy behind all the dick and fart jokes :lol: Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Paul can do spacers with different pitches as a lot of the Bimmer boys swap to JDM thread pitch so they have more options for wheels. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Try Paul at JDM Garage down near Holsworthy Drew. He might have something on the shelf that could fit the bill. If not he might be able to make something custom in house as they have a pretty decent CNC machine. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

All looking good Carl. It’ll be done in no time at all bud, then you get to enjoy the fruits of your labour properly ;) Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I wouldn’t ever buy harnesses from eBay. Far too many fakes on there. Go direct to a recognised dealer man to make sure you’re getting the best product and you can always get the advice you need from them too. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Turbo timers are useless anyway. It’s been proven they don’t actually do anything to help the turbo lifespan. I never used the one on the Skyline. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Use plenty of water when you drill the carbon Carl. Wet down the surface, the drill bits etc. If you’ve got a tray or tub you can put water in and cut it in, that would be best. As H said, carbon dust is bad stuff. Shame you’re not closer to Devon bud, my mate could have banged those cage...

As above Carl. Get yourself sorted first, the car will still be there. ;) Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

The M has no tinnyness that I remember. It has a nice throaty sound, that builds with the revs. Personally I think of all the intakes i've heard, it sounds the best.

I had both the genuine Gruppe M and a long arm CAI in the form of the AEM, both on EP3’s. Power wise, I would say they are the same or very close to each other. The gains are small, as always with just an intake, but there was a noticeable difference in the throttle response. Noise wise, the...

Crumbs Carl. Glad you got on top of that quickly bud. Hopefully you’ll have a speedy recovery mate. I feel guilty about my come on Watford post now :lol: Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Just got a temporary one like I had on the Skyline bud. Under the rear bumper for the light and used bullet connectors. Only on there for MoT time lol Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

A heat gun will make it easier to get off but leave the glue behind, and most older sound deadening was tar based. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Ahh yes the joy of removing sound deadening. Possibly one of the biggest ball aches of a job ever, but necessary for getting a cage sorted. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Yet more proof that we’re all just big kids at heart. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Yeah, I used a small heat gun when I did the arches on the MX5, worked a treat, just kept passing it over the panel till it got hot to the touch.

Oh and watch how you go with the arch roller. Use plenty of heat so the paint doesn't crack. I was told, if the panel is too hot to hold your hand on, then it's about warm enough. Obviously heat it gently and not just go at it with a blow torch like someone I know did (not me btw) :lol:

All starting to come back together now Carl, and looking great bud :cool:

Good lord NO!!!! Bumper holes are for pikeys with Corsas. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

You could always get some little rubber or plastic grommets and paint them? That’s what most DC5 owners do when going down the route of a Jap plate. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Just make sure it's a decent make and not some cheap Chinese bull! If at 88,000 points at engine mileage, that's nothing on a K20. They're built pretty well if looked after. Before doing a boost upgrade, i'd get a good service, including valve gaps, full fluids change, check the tensioner for...
