okay, just back from getting my new old integra r manifold on, and so far am quite happy. it sounds a bit more growly and burbles more than it did... has deffinatley changed the sound. as for power, well hard to say.. does feel a bit stronger, but could be all in the mind. I'm just sitting in the car waiting for the ecu to rest as described in the how to... thought I might as well will take it for a spin afterwards to check it out. ***edit*** been out for a razz, and deffinatley pulls through the revs better... been checking out my old manifold, and while it looks very simillar from the outside, the ports are oval where it meets the engine, while the teg ones were round.. also, it seems more fussy inside the way that the 4 tubes change to 2. should flow much more freely. seems to be a canny little upgrade. 1"£££$££"!!

Wonder if the space saver's that much lighter than the alloy?..... At least it would mean I could tart up the honda ones and flog em on I just put my old gaitor back on (after cleaning it up) - I think that they hadn't clipped it back in properly when the multi lock had been fitted. the external diameter of the pipe at the cat is 2.5".. just less than 2" internally though. I hope that the length and everything's the same - getting it fitted at the weekend so will find out then I suppose!!!

okay.. morning of scrappy based fun: new heater blower motor. while i was retrieving it from a rover 45 I took the clear side repeaters, spare (broken) resistor pack, gear gaitor, end cap for grab handle... and then went back for the bit of sound proofing for under the glove box that the rovers have but we haven't. all for 30 squidaroos turned out my gaitor was"nt goosed after all, so that'll be going on tea bay (seems a bit different to ours anyhoo... screws and clips are on opposite sides I think... would fit, but the leather might sit funny.

1.8 Aerodeck from Finland (10 years of ownership)
dr_broon replied to Dexter's topic in Honda Civic MA/MB/MC
I had the same problem with my rear speakers... I got some mdf spacer rings off ebay and they did the trick. I posted about it here: http://www.civic5.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=62&t=2988&p=33421&hilit=+speaker#p33421 just scroll up a bit from where the link takes you -

well.. picked up the flywheel (lad just let me have it as it was just a quid ) and it's far from light! if it's much lighter than the standard one, they must be well heavy! cleaned it up a bit (no polishing.... yet...) and going to store it until it's clutch time. been looking at the f1 stage 1 from ebay usa (I think the guy rich uses?) for £70 plus shipping.. not sure though.. my honda one has lasted 135k so far... and a caravan / trailer in it's past life. tempted to go honda again.

hard to tell by looking at the pics... they look like they've been taken from different sides but in the guff on that one the guy says it's off a b16... think the teg one's lighter again? don"t like the idea of that repair stuff, me mate had a c2 gt what had that.. he got a puncture and used it and it didn't work, and had to get the aa out... then was told that they couldn't repair the tyre coz the gunk knacks them.

aye... I was just thinking when I was polishing the last bit.."wonder if I can just get a sexy heat shield instead.... D'OH!" haven't decided about the brackets yet... they look a bit daft and are the hardest to clean, but handy if I decide to go for a shield. other than that I think it's a straight swap - think the jdm cat has a different fitting? is it rotated a bit I think... I think uk one is same though... ... fingers crossed I think it's less restrictive than standard, but still 4.2.1 - was worried about a 4-1 coz of the lowered action...
