Good choice on the exhaust, I love how well packaged they are.
What other goodies are in the boxes? (If I can't afford things for myself, I'll live vicariously through others)
Well you already knew about it anyway
and yes the packaging is awesome and the quality of the exhaust looks to be great too (them welds!).
I know what you mean, I often stare at threads which go all out, gearbox rebuilds, ported engines, even forced induction and get quite a kick out of it, especially if it is well documented. Maybe I ll get to that stage one day...
Great thread this, superb attention to detail!!
Thank you Pete :smt023
Right here is a proper update on the parts I posted earlier. Starting off we have a suspension upgrade since my TEINs have let go now and require changing. They were also wayyy too harsh for UK roads, even on soft settings. So what we have below is:
Bilstein B14 Adjustable Suspension Kit
Genuine Honda top mount kit (front)
Genuine Honda front lower control arm bushes (both sides)
Genuine Honda front LCA bolts
Then we have an exhaust upgrade. Currently my Toda Ti is loud/drones due to the B pipe (Cobra Silenced) that has let go inside, meaning it has become unsilenced. I have had a look and there are no cracks or leaks around the exhaust and I can hear it making sounds inside (metal pieces moving about), so will be giving it a good clean, polish and remove any debris once it's off. Then it will go for sale for a few quid as an un-silenced pipe. The Toda will be cleaned and polished too, and put for sale as well since a Toda B pipe is almost as much a I paid for my new exhaust
. Thankfully the backbox has no damage what so ever, will polish up well and should go for alright money as they do not make the dolphin tip versions anymore, so it's sort of rare?
Never the less, this is what was purchased:
Fujitsubo RM01A catback system (On sale at Torque-GT!) which came complete with the required bolts, gaskets, nuts and washers.
Bolts and Gasket for the Cat side.
Genuine Honda heat shield (the one near the fuel tank as mine was missing
)
Genuine Honda bolts for the above heat shield (but i will put bigger 6mm washers on those to better hold it in place, as the originals are too small imo)
I also bought this as my handle had snapped off and the previous owner decided to use a shoe lace attached to whatever was left of the plastic instead... (cheap c**ts lol)
And lastly a service kit for the car, even though it's had one not too long ago but I don't trust people.
Genuine Honda Antifreeze 5L
Fuchs TITAN Race Pro S 5W-40 5L
Genuine Honda oil filter
NGK Laser Iridium plugs IFR7G-11KS
Genuine Honda fuel filter
Super Dot 4 Plus brake fluid (since Motul RBF600 is overkill on a road car imo and yearly changes are a hassle)
Genuine Honda MTF-3 Gearbox fluid
All of the above will be going on the car at some point this/next week, and then the car will be booked for FRSU at TGM Sport in Fleet.
Note: My honda jazz washer jets seem to be at an angle, and thus overs-spraying to the side of my car. The old ones I removed off the car (which look to be the same but had bad wear on them) were pointing straight. This is in regards to the actual nozzle inside, can anyone else confirm this too? I ll take pictures of it to show you what I mean.
