Update
Okay back from TGM with Stage 1 clutch, Mfactory diff and ES mount inserts all fitted.
Lets start with the clutch. It feels completly different compared to OEM. Finding it hard to get use to it, makes me feel like im learning to drive again :lol: . Takes alot of getting use to but the snap is excellent. The clutch pedal feels very very light
The diff...well i havent really had a chance to test it as Tom recommends to take it easy the first 200-300 miles. Can defenetly feel its there. Its a weird sensation that also takes alot of getting use to. Its also quite noisey but that doesn't really bother me to much. Cant wait to get on track and test it
Es mounts, well yes they do work very well but fcuk me everything just now vibrates like mad! On idle its a joke!
When i get may car mapped ill get them to tweak the idle speed
Roll on the 1st of march
Car will be getting mapped

It was very similar for me Bud when I had the same bits fitted (LSD, stage 1 clutch, and ES engine inserts - yet I also had a gearbox mount fitted too). The rattling is quite a shock at first but you do get used to it, I don't think it has improved over time, but then I guess day by day you don't notice small changes.
The snap of the clutch you talk of is good, but the clutch doesn't like reverse, mine always smells like a pig when I try to park etc. Once the roads dry up a bit more, I'm sure you'll have tales a plenty in relation to the setup though hehe

Cheers Karl. Glad it was not just me in for the shock. I seem to have a slight judder when pulling away but im putting what down to the clutch needing some beding in.
Looking forward to giving it some abuse on a track day soon.

Ok sweet. Should be able To Manage that.
Oh mate you've got no idea. Mega excited!!
I've been collecting all new stainless steel nuts bolts & washers, gaskets, silicone vac and pcv hoses etc and it's all sat ready to go now. Just waiting on a belt from America and it's Game Face.

Car going in for mapping tomorrow looking forward to it
The only thing which is a annoying after its mapped i have to put the OEM ECU back on ...drive down to honda put my mapped k100 on the car then get the keys coded :lol:
Going to be weird driving out of eurospec with OEM ECU still on
Spose this is the downside of buying k100

They will disabled the immobiliser and start cracking on with the map. Once finished they then have to enable the immobiliser but this means the car wont be able to start as the keys are not coded yet. Immobiliser has to be enabled in order to get the keys coded to the ECU other wise it wont communicate with honda's software
The second hand k100 i bought has a CPL turbo map on it so i cant use it to plod around in. Bit of a bummer as most people would of had a N/A map perviously
