Been a while since I've added anything to the car... MOT last week so wanted to hold off, few advisories which were;
Front brake pads wearing thin
Centre section exhaust flange deteriorated
Front Tyres 3mm
Rear O/S tyre 2mm
So nothing major but either way need doing.. I planned on changing the centre section to an unsilenced Supersprint anyway so it kind of worked in my favour...
Bought this for what I think was a good price from a chap on ebay..after finally tearing through the lengths and lengths of parcel tape, bubble wrap and cardboard I was left with this
I had trouble with the Spoon N1 currently fitted where it was rattling against the bottom of the car so bought some Powerflex adjustable exhaust mounts which sorted the problem. I also replaced the gaskets both front and rear of the b-pipe...Honda wanted £27 for the two whereas Motofacts charged £2.87...where the hell is the justice in that!?
After hours of grinding and pulling (mainly due to the sh*t bolts) the old exhaust was removed and the supersprint fitted... I knew it was going to be louder than OEM but I didnt expect it to be as loud as it is lol I think it is marmite you will either love it or hate it...I have been wanting that japanese sounding car for a while and now I've got it so I can live with the noise...at low rpm it isn't so bad to be honest but as soon as you hit the accelerator it gets quite loud... I am currently uploading a video to youtube of the inside and outside for people thinking of fitting the same as what I have.
So, after I get back from my holiday the next stops are;
Ferodo DS2500 pads with braided brake lines
4x New tyres
Change the gearbox oil
Fix the bumper
Then I might start tarting up the interior as it could do with some love
