they do change into a nifty foot rest. I like them for my stupid wide feet.
-
it is black... just reflects on the camera

looking good Dave 1"£££$££"!! how do the tyre pressures things work - what does it connect to / is there much to wire in? have you sussed out how you're gonna install the display? so many questions
-
finally gave it a try... been thinking about it for ages. I'm sure plenty of you see this sorry sight every time you get in the car.... so got an a4 sheet of neoprene of ebay for a few squid, stuck it on and hey presto: a tidier footwell. it's lasted well for a few days so far... the neoprene was thinner than I expected, but is holding up well. with it being neoprene it shouldn't be slippy when wet.

just realised I haven't said what what it is.. it's white sticky vinyl sheet. I tried making templates by doing a 'brass rubbing' (scribbling over the H with paper and a pencil) and tried pressing tin foil into the indentation to get the shape, but in the end just stuck a bit of vinyl over it, pressed it into the shape and then trimmed it with a scalpel. I think that I could have used something a bit sharper to press it in to the corners to get a better cut, so might redo it at some point.

ta
-
yes that
-
done... haven't been able to stop thinking about it after all of the in car shots from the Senna film the other week... like this: http://youtu.be/LKils9Mae8Q few little raggy bits so might redo it
-
all in good time... supplies allowing should be ready tomorrow
-
just waiting for some supplies, then all will be revealed.
-
got a little something underway...
-
cheers Paul... can't take credit for the pics though... it was the missus.l I did all the polishing though
-
in celebration of the new picture capability... big pics from the early days. 1"£££$££"!!
-
I'll stick me head underneath tomorrow to double check, but that sounds like a plan.
-
could be.. asked the missus and she's not bothered either way... women! what are you thinking about? it's an ep1 if that makes any difference? assume the bits would be the same though.

I think that he biggest restriction is the cat... it's on my radar to get a high flow one at some point. I know de-cat's easier and cheaper, but have heard that sometimes it messes with back pressure and loses power. funny you should mention hobby... I've realised in the last few weeks that that's what it is now.. a hobby

yeah, it's a two incher but don't tell anyone I was doing a good bit of digging around before I got it, and they seem to concentrate on better flow rather than just going for bigger pipes. from the wobsite: "unlike the countless competitors Supersprint has seen come and go, since 1955, Supersprint does it’s homework on the dyno, the street and the track. Our extensive knowledge has been earned on thousands of cars around the world. This knowledge provides Supersprint with the uncanny ability to extract power from engines when other exhaust manufacturers can only produce higher noise levels. Supersprint products are developed around scientific knowledge not assumptions. Other manufacturers of exhaust systems are happy with larger diameter tubing, restrictive silencer design, increased noise levels and chrome tips to lure customers. But our commitment to performance and quality prevents such an approach. Instead we at Supersprint design and build around each engine’s performance characteristics. Exhaust flow rates and velocity are dramatically increased by Supersprint designs while still retaining factory OEM diameter tubes. We know it is actually easier to loose horsepower through misuse of larger diameter tubing and badly designed silencers. Each component from header to tailpipe is accurately tuned and suited to each particular engine by Supersprint engineers. A critical balance between lower back pressure level and flow rate must be ensured for optimum performance. When Supersprint develops a system for a new car, hand built prototypes are made and extensively dyno tested, rebuilt and re-tested. Combinations of tubes and perforated cores with outside diameter ranging from 32mm (with 2mm. 3mm, and 5mm increments in size) up to 76mm are utilized for best results. Nothing is assumed. Only modifications that create proven performance in mid-range torque, and top end power increases, qualify for final production. There is no make-do engineering at Supersprint." I know it's sales blurb, but it makes sense, and since I've got the oem dc2 mani it seems like a good match. http://www.supersprint.com/en/exhaust-systems.aspx http://xkcd.com/148/

Paul's MB6 VTi (This Is It! The End Has Come! :( ,,,)

shiny nuts for the win -
sorry Dave, just re-read the post... I think it was an LED for the heater controls, I'll try and find out the red light doesn't really show the blue up very well on the heater tbh.. more of a maroon T10 led for the heater controls I think dave http://www.civic5.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=62&t=4497&hilit=heater+control 1"£££$££"!!

cheers... they're leds for the dials, and red sub miniature bulbs from maplins... I cleared out the stock from both local stores don't think they sell many. used a how to... think it was one james had posted about.

got a present from Italy today... to sort out this: 1"£££$££"!! swap under warranty....22 months into a 24 month job. it's not blowing yet either... just corroded.

cheers - it's really nie driving in the dark with it.. not distracting when there's no streetlights, but easy to see the dials when you need to look.
