I was thinking just that haha. My car barely does 260-320 miles on full tank

Thanks guys That website looks useful. I have read at few places that the best and reasonable price mod you can do is replace the gearbox and clutch. You can reduce the 0-60 time by 1s. I am not sure how true that is. That website talks about S80 gearbox from integra Type R. Is that a good mod?

Thanks Is it actually worth re-mapping the car without having done many mods? Like all the ones I mentioned in my first post. From what I have been reading, people say you loose the middle power by using skunk etc. unless you spend more money/time upgrading cams and other parts. I can easily see this getting from around £1k to £2k spending.

I am not sure yet. I want something that is not too much of a hassle to fit. Something that is probably made for b18c4.

Any suggestions to which one is the best, considering all the mods I have done and going to change intake manifold and throttle body?

Hi all I am thinking of buying a good intake manifold for my mb6. Currently I have changed the exhaust manifold, got a custom cat-back exhaust system and got a custom air intake. My question is I would like to get my car re-mapped once I have changed the intake manifold. Do I need to buy a new ecu? Or I can just use the standard ecu? Plus any other upgrades I should think about before getting my car remapped? Thanks

Thanks for the help guys. I think I am going with Mtec

More. Don't think I will find anything cheaper and better quality then this. But a bit more expensive can be good in the long run if there is a big difference in the quality.

Thanks for your help guys Just want to look at some alternatives too before I make up my mind, are there any other brake discs that are better quality but more expensive?

I was actually looking at MTec discs. I have not heard much about them so was wondering how good they were. I've got m-tec all round and my mate has them aswell! top quality even better if you get the black edition! X2 Yup. I was definitely gonna go with black edition if I get m-tec comes to £135 delivered for all 4 discs plus around £120 for all greenstuff pads

I was actually looking at MTec discs. I have not heard much about them so was wondering how good they were.

Hi Guys Its finally time to buy some new discs for my 1.8 mb6 so I am going to upgrade them all ( front and rear) with new pads. I want something really good for fast road. I am not really a fan of EBC. Any suggestions, something that you have used and really liked?

I was thinking of having flanges on the connector sleeve and then connect it to the one with cat or manifold. Do you think you need both flanges on either side of the connector sleeve to hold it securely or just one will do while other side is held with clamp on the connector? It would be much easier to get one side welded before attaching it.

I think I have found all the parts I will need for the mod: Connector http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/220783509427? ... 26_rdc%3D1 This should hopefully let me connect 2.5" manifold with 2" standard cat. I have also found 2.5" and 2" Flanges 2.5" http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/220566379656? ... 26_rdc%3D1 2.0" http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/320491817365? ... 26_rdc%3D1 I am a bit confused about how I am going to mod the flanges. What is the best way to do this mod?

Thanks for that. Good link To be able to connect the 2.5" to standard cat, I presume I am going to need 2.5 to 2" adapter right? standard cat is 2" ?

Think found what I was looking for. http://www.hondaperformanceparts.co.uk/ ... _CRX_88-00 This should work with 2.5" bore manifold and 2.25" catback exhaust right?

Not really....If I do go for the de-cat option I wouldn't go for 2" bore then. My cat-back exhaust is 2.25" flange fit. Anyway to have 2.5" manifold with a decat going to 2.25" exhaust?

Yeh but you would have to bolt on the cat and the manifold everytime. My mot date is a really bad one, right in the middle of busy time.

That's annoying. So there is no way to have a performance manifold with a cat on?? Do they sell any sports cat for mb6? I don't wanna decat it that's the only thing.

Can someone please tell me if this will fit with standard cat on mb6? http://www.japspeed.co.uk/Honda-Civic/H ... p-6-1-141/ It does say in the description that it bolts onto the original cat.

I had the exact same problem few days ago and as "beastgtir" said it can be heat shield. For me it was on the cat. From one of the corners it had broken off and it was rattling really loud. The noise would disappear sometimes and at other times it would be really loud. I moved it a bit further down out of the way so it doesn't touch the cat. Only other solution would be to take the heat shield off or buy a new cat. That's if the problem is to do with the heat shield.

But you can't get a 2.5 manifold if you are planning on keeping the cat on right? I have seen some 2.0 and 2.25 manifold. 2.5 would be the best choice but then upgrade to the exhaust will be required too.

Also Is there a big difference between 4-2-1 and 4-1 performance wise or are they the same?

Thanks for the advice. I really don't wanna buy another exhaust system as I already bought a performance one not long ago. But I think that fits standard so it probably is 2.25 rather then 2.5. I found DC Sports 2.25 one but its rather expensive. http://www.hondaperformanceparts.co.uk/ ... lector_1pc

Thanks for the info. Just been looking at that japspeed one and for that exhaust manifold, it has 2.5" bore downpipe will that fit 1.8 vti?
