B-pipe replacement - attempt 2 Managed to remove the top nut with a 6 sided socket hammered on Bottom nut removed with the help of a 13mm bolt extractor Remaining nut was too rounded so began cutting the nut to weaken it, ran out of time and needed to order a 11/12mm bolt extractor Untitled by...

Cheers, i briefly had a Corsa VXR with recaros and liked them, the FN2 are no worse than those IMHO. The el cheapo droplinks i got with mine came with a 2 year guarantee also - lets see how long they last.

Dropped the car back at Honda on Monday - they no quibble agreed to respray my rear 2 alloys that were damaged during the tyre change, cant fault them

My FN2 took 4.5 to take it around max, guess i left some behind when draining

Granted i will never probably see that again, was an economy run to see what it was capable of more than anything
