It's a genuine Spoon product. Bought it new from Spoon Europe (Taikyu) The rear section of the hardtop separates from the main part. Quick release from inside the car. Lift that off and pop the boot as normal Spoiler is attached to the boot so it lifts with it. It is a pain in backside tbh. I...

Thanks lads. Putting them both away for the winter now so I'll be updating with the past few years worth of work on those cold winter nights Sent from my SM-G965F using Tapatalk

Thanks mate. It's at Loch Lomond [emoji106] Sent from my SM-G965F using Tapatalk

I haven't been on here In 4 years!! I know, it's disgraceful. I am so glad to see it still going. Facebook is just full of idiots, hopefully the same caliber of type-r owners I am familiar with are still about! Glad to be back Ryan Sent from my SM-G965F using Tapatalk

Well.......it's been a long time lol. Didn't move away from my Civic. Things have most certainly progressed. Car now sits at 650bhp and I have an amazing s2k as my daily. I will update this in much more detail as soon as I can. Here is a pic of the cars as they stand Sent from my SM-G965F...

Yeah this will be main car Sent from my SM-G900F using Tapatalk

New toy until my turbo build is finished [emoji16] Sent from my SM-G900F using Tapatalk

Well times are changing. The supercharger and cooler are now sold. Yip, I will be sad to see them go. Had the charger for coming up in 5 years now so time for a change. Been spending a lot of money on the charger over the years for minimal gains. So.........I've not messed about this time...

I know, need to carry an emergency kit at all times! Sent from my SM-G900F using Tapatalk

Not so good [emoji24] Sent from my SM-G900F using Tapatalk

Cheers guys!

Good results thanks for sharing

I know I felt like crying when I came off [emoji24] the side skirt and the rear quarter needs resprayed now! But at least I never hit the barrier lol

Was on Knockhill MU night last week. Was a great night as always however the car just wasn't running correctly. Had major issues with the gearbox which wasn't allowing me to select any gears on the downshift. Think the syncros might be gone. Also the car felt quite sluggish, I think the heat...

Thank you. I always run distilled bottled water. Didn't think about limescale I just thought it would be cleaner as not running in line filter.

Hi Jura I am running a 50/50 mix water/meth. I have the nozzle located 8 inches from Tb. This is on a JRSC EP3. I already have a charge cooler located inside the inlet manifold so I'm guessing the cooling could not really be optimized any further with the meth?

Jura Can I ask what you have your progressive controller set to? I start at 6 psi and reach maximum at 10 psi.

Yip.

You can stick a 3.2 on with no cooling.

I have a live switch on my dash to switch the meth on

I'm running 12 psi on my jackson. Pulled 361bhp. Gains were 10% torque mid range with 10 bhp up top. So not significant but a much healthier safer temp. Especially with the heat generated. I would have seen a massive difference if the methanol was all I was using to cool the temps but I have a...

Also you can adjust the progressive spray depending on boost. I'm starting 3psi to 10 psi. Reaching 100% at 10 psi obviously

Usage isn't a lot as I switch maps on the fly via Nitrous setting on kpro. So I don't use it constantly. The system has various error detection settings - low fluid, open circuit on wiring You can purchase AEM failsafe software and sensor which I will be doing shortly. I'm in Glasgow and can get...

I'm running the AEM kit. Great piece of gear, Progressive controller up on dash.

Well I'm a happy customer. Thanks Dan for your help and better quotation

The thing is you guys would be able to match or beat the price. I was unable to get proof of the new quote from Sky sent to me, and so I couldn't send you the proof.

Had to leave you guys this morning after 7 years of business. Your price was just too high. Ended up with Sky Insurance

+1 buddy I have been with flux for about 7 years running. My renewal was £720. Up from £450 last year. 7yrs ncb, 28yo. Best they could do was 550. Ended up calling them to advise ill be leaving them to go with Sky Insurance

My mates red charged civic is no more! I bought it and stripped it for a few parts ad sold the rest. That's good to hear, I'll be under pressure next time then lol

Yip booked on for the main event in July. However now it's ready I'm itching to get on track so I might be on the April MU night too! How's the new seat? Lol

Well its insurance renewal time [emoji24] Going through a few things and trying to determine a fair market value. Anyone have any thoughts on this? I have a figure in mind but want to know if I'm being unrealistic......

Arrived at 9.30am [emoji3]

Need a bit of help. Can anyone tell what the angle of the steering arms are on a stock civic? Flat, angled up, angled down? Thanks

Well.....I get my Nitron coilovers back tomorrow after being sent away to Nitron for a full rebuild and service. Can't wait to get them back on so I can get the car mapped after the recent work that's been done!

Thanks mate

Took a pic of the center console tonight after installing water meth. JDM blanking plate was used to replace the stereo. I've got the Dynojet Wideband display up too. The blue usb you see is the Kpro data cable. Much handier having it there. [emoji3]

Thanks for the replies

I had someone try mig already but for some reason he said he couldn't get enough heat in the plates but too much heat to the floor causing it to burn through the floor? Is he just a crap welder do you think?

I have a saftey devices bolt in cage. However the foot plates need welded in. They are made from 3mm mild steel. Any welders on here or anyone had these welded in their cars? Is it best to mig or tig? Thanks

Thanks mate

It was originally running the EP3 setup. However to use a charge cooler I had to swap the inlet manifold for the DC5 JRmanifold. So really, it's a DC5 Jrsc. But I guess I called it a conversion as I had to change.

Well that's good to know about Greenlight. Was going to call them on my renewal

This is the up to date spec list: Engine: JRSC (DC5 Conversion) 3" pulley K24 Crank Pulley Merc Racing Stg2 Charge Cooler Remote Fill Front Mount Cooler Skunk2 Stage3 Camshafts Skunk2 70mm Throttle Body Port Matched Injen 3" Cold Air Intake Hondata 4bar Map Sensor Hondata Gasket Hondata Kpro...

Haha thanks mate! I'll try keep it up to date.

Well that's the Nitrons away for a full rebuild. Should drive like new when I get them back. Hopefully when I get them back in a few weeks I'll get my geo done and then it's dyno time! Last time I had a proper go in the car was September. God I'm buzzing for the better weather to come back!

Glad this has all worked out for you mate. Who were the insurers?

Lol I thought that. Yeah they are good fun!

I've got an AEM cold air intake that sits behind the bumper for sale. You can go through small puddles etc no bother, what you dont want to be doing is go through deep water is all. I've ran one for 4 years now. No issues

Yeah I totally agree with that! Like I said think I'll just need to swap it about lol. Although bonnet pins??!!?[emoji30] would need them on the purple bonnet too.

Bonnet pins aren't installed yet either. Hope it does close the gap now that you've pointed that out lol

The bonnet isn't fitted properly yet. It's not even bolted on. Just sat it on to see what it looked like and took a few pics.

Cheers mate

Really? I've kinda grown to like it now. But I do like the purple too! Screw it ill swap them about every so often lol

Keep the purple bonnet or go with this CF Seibon?

It's a stripped track car so no interior parts. It's got everything else from perspex windows to nitrous. Keep an eye out

Yeah mate I do it all myself!

Oh and Nos

Well that's my new bits ordered: Skunk2 Stage3 Camshafts AEM water/methanol injection K24 Crank Pulley 3" charger pulley ID1000 injectors Walbro 255 fuel pump Also bought another JRSC'd civic and stripping it for some parts including forged engine and cage. So after this I should be well...

Yeah that's my mate Lee in the red civic!

Some recent pics. This winter I'm looking to have her over 400bhp This is her waiting to get on the Nurburgring [emoji3]

Just reading through your thread. I drive the A82 seven days a week! It's a great road on a good day, dangerous on a poor day! I'll look out for you passing lol

Ah right lol. A place called Campsie Coachworks in Lennoxtown done my car.

Lol sorry mate. I'm in Glasgow so I doubt they are close to you! Lol

The throw has been increased but I'm willing to put up with it as the position is perfect. With the seat being low I had to bring the wheel closer. However the gearstick was to much of a stretch. Quality wise it's good. £45 which isn't bad. Not sure of its name it's on tegiwa site.

My local coachworks painted it for me!

Thanks! It's an extention to bring the gearstick closer to me.

Been a while. A few pics of the car as it is now. Went to the Nurburgring and it performed amazing!!

Interested in some pictures of these too!! Anyone?

I was thinking it may be the diff but I can't imagine it would be!! Tyres are rubbish, cheap at best. Not my choice, they were on the shell that I picked up so I'm leaving them on till I sort the geo etc. I've got R888 to go on all round for summer. Not sure what to go for the winter but I don't...

Yip. Sounds like it's normal then lol. Thanks bud

Thanks Tom. Were you running the Quaife LSD? what were your suspension mods? Thanks a lot, I really really really appreciate it lol

Probably but so would a de-cat. What about bad engine mounts would they cause anything?

Had full geometry done 4 times with various different changes.

You were running the MeisterR too weren't you Tom? did you suffer any pulling from left to right? What colour were your springs out of curiosity? apparently the black springs are the old type with the new ones being red! I can't get my car to drive in a straight line under power!

Does anyone know for sure if removing the front crash bar will have an adverse affect on the rigidity/handling of the car. Will this cause the chassis to flex/move? I have it removed at the moment to allow room for a front intercooler. However I'm experiencing pulling left to right under power...

Not updated this in a while. Been pretty busy with work etc. Just a quick update. Car still not running properly. Engine wise, it's spot on. However the alignment/suspension just isn't right. And pulling from left to right. anyway, body wise its pretty much complete. Only the facelift headlights...

Started another thread forgetting I had this previously. I'm having an absolute nightmare this. Car is still pulling to the left and then to the right. I've swapped the subframe, wishbones along with polybushes, extended ball joints, steering rack raiser, refurbished the driveshafts! Still no...

Pulling left to right under power. Hi guys, I've being having an absolute nightmare of a time trying to solve this. my car is pulling to the left under power. Then to the right and so on and so forth. I'm running 350bhp 221lbft with Quaife lsd. Installed are MeisterR coilovers, bc extended...

Fair point with it being safety related. Granted yes a lot of us do look under the car, but you would never notice the wires I wouldn't think! With the thread being a year old i assume you have replaced it by now anyway lol.

Just because you do it yourself, doesn't mean it's a bodge job! If you do it correctly you would never know! Plus, if you were buying a car, would you get a torch out, jack up the car, and look at the abs wire?.....no you wouldn't! Obviously if you are not confident in doing this simple job...

Old thread but why would you not just snip the plugs and solder the new one back on? Easy solution!

2002 with 57K :-)

John thanks. Much clearer lol. The supplied spacers/washers were fitted. I'll see what they say about fitting the washers. Either that, or I'm sticking with the good old oem as said by the guru. After all I have adjustable top mounts on my coilovers, so they aren't actually needed. The reason...

Thank you bud!

Sorry John i don't quite understand what you mean :-/ Could you possibly describe that again, I'm a bit confused!!

No, they fitted the bolts when it was in for a geometry set up. They then came loose causing the steering to be all over the place. I took the wheels off to check it out and found they were loose!! :-o So when I called to kick up sh** they told me about a known fault that has only come to light...

Has anyone heard of faulty Eibach camber bolts? Have there been any recalls? I've been told by a garage that they sometimes work themselves loose! Thanks

How did they turn out? Did you go for that code in the end?

How did you get on with these Tom? I'm looking to get them on all four wheels. Want the wheels to sit flush with arch. How did your wheels sit after fitting these? I have the standard wheels Cheers

Will do mate Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk 4

Yeah ill do that. I'm worrying that there's a problem/defect with the MeisterR coilovers. Been reading horror stories about them causing severe pulling side to side. I was experiencing the exact same problems on my last car before I crashed! I think these problems were mainly found on the dc5...

Ah the arch gaps are the same all round. I think I'm going to hand the car to the experts and say.....fix it! Lol Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk 4
