Use a leaf blower on the intake, there was a video of that on a dyno as an experiment

Fitted the steering wheel myself mate. It's a direct fit, plug and play, so airbag even works. Best wheel for the M's imo

That's a GTT in the video. About 280bhp stock at the flywheel. 2.5 single turbo, as opposed to the 2.6 twin-turbo GTR. And rear wheel drive. I had the same (albeit older generation) motor in my Stagea. The figure in the video could well be power at the wheels? Would probably be about right. And yeah, cold air feed will make pretty much no difference at all on a Civic. Certainly nothing noticeable. Same with filters and stuff like that. Even on turbos these things only produce marginal gains at best, and even then, as pointed out, can do more harm than good in some cases. Shiny new parts though.....sometimes it's hard to resist

Yep Some bloke at a car meet saw my car offered me the VTi-S parts. Needs a good clean up and obviously a respray. I actually still cannot believe I got these at the right time!

For the M, yes. Do you mean a Nissan GTR or other Skyline? They are much more than 225bhp stock. Turbo charged cars respond much better to breathing mods but would usually need a remap to make use of it.

Even with the best routing you won't notice the difference, it's just a placebo as a single modification, can be made to make an effect but you'd probably need to go mad with mega engine rebuilds and boost.

For the M and pretty much any regular road car the air intake alone will make almost zero difference at all, though long arm intakes will allow the engine to ingest water, you don't want that.

I am very tempted to go! Guess what I'm picking up tonight?! A rear VTi-S Aerodeck bumper lip and mid spoiler. Both for 70 quid!!!

O no even just a civic sport seems to keep up with these hot hatches and go passed them no clue why :lol:

lmao less of the old you!

Yeah, the Golf aint that quick. I had a play with one (or should I say Ruby did) a few months back and she wasted it! It was done up quite nicely too, but when he gunned the arse of it, it just couldn't compete with Ruby. He had two goes then backed right off looking rather sheepish! lol

Congrates on the win mate

Superb.

Grats on the win pal, was well deserved as this is one stunning looking M

Well done mate love this car

Well deserved! thanks for all my votes guys lol

We have a winner! Congrats @Honda Paul! Stunning M and well deserved! @DAVEMB2, could you do the index photo please

Goodies!!! One managed to get a decat pipe, and behold, the "praise like" pic!... I paid a absolute tramp like 10 whole pounds!! Yeah budget bits. Love them lol. I shall attach this b****r tomorrow and update! Quick q and a as usual from me. How important is the second i2 sensor on these? I'd prefer it gone but if I need it. I guess I can keep it
