It's a Seibon one and the grille is now a standard one ;)

Yeah that happened the other day, spluttered for a few secs then back to normal and the light came on, after a while driving it went out. It was fitted once all the mods were put on so it should be properly mapped, but i'm going to take it of and see how it gets on. Cheers guys.

I take it this is not something you can do yourself??

Nice one, cheers. :D

Guys, I have a Dastek chip and it's had the engine management light coming on several times. Been to Honda numerous times and had timing chain replaced, solenoids, sensors etc changed but guy said next time it comes on they think it's the chip thats causing the probs. Dastek say it's out of...

Hmm, I take it this is a defect and not something I've done?

This is the best I can get

Dotty, The top is just the same as the pic of the bottom, when you run your fingers over it it's like thick braille...

It was brand new from Unit 8. Have emailed them showing the pics, so waiting to hear back. Take it this shouldn't happen?

Guys, Had this Seibon bonnet on for about 6 weeks now and at the very front of the bonnet and the top (nearest the windscreen) is raised up like it's bubbling! This shouldn't happen should it? Have I got a defective bonnet?

Yeah nice one, cheers. ;)

Alrighty, Took my car into my local Honda dealer as the engine warning light was coming on, 2nd time in a month. Had it checked on the diagnostics and it's a Cam shaft position sensor intermitently failing. My question is: 1/. Will this damage my car in anyway if I drive it without...

Guys, Got this fitted today, not too happy as you can see from the pics, there's a gap! :cry: This is due to the crap fitting on the Mugen grille so I'm going to be putting the grille back to a standard one if anyone has one! What you think?

Just ordered the rears, £120 inc VAT. Will fit them myself. :smile:

Yeah, will get onto Honda just now and get them ordered. ;)

I think I'll just stick with the standard honda disks and pads then.

Cheers for that, just emailed him asking for a price delivered to Glasgow, and my mate will fit them. ;)

Guys, I'm after some of these, but who is ADH?? Do they have a website, can't find anything. Cheers Ali

Guys, the milage is only 33,072 Don't coilovers make for a harsher ride??

Guys I'm needing new rear disks and pads, old ones are corroded and knarckered basically. Where's the best place to get these standard parts, Honda want £200 supplied and fitted!! Cheers Ali.

My 03plate CTR was in at Honda today getting the gearbox oil changed. They did a check on the whole car and I was told my front 2 shocks had free play in them. :cry: They quoted me £330 for supply and fitting!!! :!: What's the best option? Get standard shocks and get them fitted...

Got my bonnet through today from Unit 8 :D When lifting it to check the underside there was the sound of lots of little stones running from one end to the other :oops: Is this normal, or has my bonnet got lots of crap in between? Cheers Ali.

Yeah thats what I thought, but will this still be fine to use with the LSD?

Guys, As above. My car goes in on Friday and I need to know what oil I will need that works for both the LSD as well as the syncromesh in the honda gearbox. I was told I should have been given some data sheet from Quaife of what oil their LSD use, as it will have a API standard. Can you...

Guys, I have a mugen grille on my CTR but the guy before me has put it on wearing a blind fold by the looks of it I've removed the black clips etc but the grille is stuck on to the bumper with the double sided tape I presume. Whats the best way to get the tape of without damaging the...

:( ah well, back to halfords for a refund! ;) yeah let me know how you get on.

Guys, My 03 plate CTR is going into Honda a week today to get the gearbox oil changed and I've heard that getting them to add in the Molyslip makes gear changes even better. I was reading the back of the tube of Molyslip and it says do not use in Slip Differential Axles. My CTR has been...

Shelton, I was reading the back of the Molyslip container and it says don't use with Slip Differential axles. I have an LSD in my 03 plate CTR, is this the same thing do you know??

Yeah nice one cheers, my cars going in on the 13th so let me know if you think it's worth it, Halfords ain't far ;) . Cheers Ali.

Cheers Shelton, Where do you get Molyslip gearbox protection from, Halfords do it?

Jees, Just phoned Phoenix Honda in Paisley and it's going to cost me £65 to get the gearbox oil changed!! :mad: Is that about right?

Yeah I think your right, a trip to Honda will be the best bet. Unfortunatly I'm in Glasgow :D just a few too many miles from Derby! but thanks for the offer and thanks for your advice with this. Will keep you posted as to how I get on at honda. Will need to go get some Honda MTF III oil...

Yeah changing the engine oil is a doddle, but the gearbox oil might be different. Is there a way of checking your gearbox oil level to see if it needs topped up? Sometimes on cold mornings the gears are a bit sticky and wanted to freshen up the oil in the gearbox to smooth things out.

Ouch £35 just to change the gearbox oil!! :( Is it much like changing the engine oil? I'm having a look at the manual and can't quite work out where the gearbox oil drain actually is?

Nice one, Cheers. I don't mind having a go myself but as you said it sounds fiddly :) Whats the best oil to use?

Guys, How do I go about changing the gearbox oil, or is it a job for the garages? Cheers Ali
