Fresh oil change, valve clearances, don’t dress your tyres. Make sure the tyres are in good nik. Clean/change air filter if it needs it.
Edit: check plugs, replace if necessary.
Yeah get a service and check car over like tyres etc before hand,
Seems your not changing the header I would just stick with a 2.5". I'm not sure a 3" catback would be worth it without a header.
Personally I would'nt bother just stick with OEM.
A JDM one off an EP3 or DC5 are worth looking at if you can get your hands on one of them. They are a much better design than our versions and the cats are slightly freer flowing but still pass the mot.
They are like the Spoon versions.
For the most gain you will need a 421 header, secondly a JDM one, otherwise just stay as you are.
Cool. What about the sports car are they worth the money?
With the Japspeed 4-2-1 other then engine mount inserts would I need any other parts changed?
Is it a track car? Because I'm wondering how you plan on passing emissions come next MOT.
You won't need anything else to fit it, if your doing the engine mount inserts you may as well do the gearbox one too.
Obviously with that 421 your exhaust set up will probably be noisy and the inserts will cause some vibration in the cabin, as you said you want to keep it civilized as its your daily so just letting you know lol.
You will need a map too.
I don't find it that bad, it's only noticable when stationary, its fine when driving, I bought new mounts and put the inserts in them as one mount was split but most people stick the inserts in old mounts so maybe their vibrations are worse.
Its personal preference some have fitted and removed them saying they could'nt stick the vibration,
Other people like me find them fine, I used my EP3 daily for a while with them fitted, now it's currently off the road but will be used during summer months for some fun lol.
Stay out of vtec & take it easy, should be fine. Don’t be surprised if you see an EML after a while.
Yes the k100 will bypass the 2nd o2 sensor and the light won't be on. The light is only used to monitor catalyst efficiency anyway, yours won't have one so won't be needed. I now run a wideband AFR gauge from the 2nd o2 sensor slot, which is always good to keep an eye on the afr but not really needed as the map will still retain knock detection etc.Will do, looking to get it mapped straight after getting the 4-2-1 and intake mani on. Am I correct that the K100 and remap will get rid of the EML, if so can I use the current 02 sensors or will i need the 02 simulators (even after remap).
Which engine mount inserts are good, I am looking at the Energy Suspension Engine Mount Inserts from Tegiwa website.
