    Yer the gears in the mb are not the best ratio in the would and yes s80 box would be good a make a big diff :D one thing you will prob use more fuel

    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?

    skunk blox etc runs 1 stage vtec so no point getting a p72 as that runs 2 stage like our standard intake manis so p30 will be your best bet! ;)

    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.

    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

    More expensive or less? I have heard about Mintex stuff being good but being that I haven't used them then I can't comment any further than that. Good luck and keep us posted on what u use :)

    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.

    Hi, all i can recommend is what i use and that is MTec drilled and groved discs all round and EBC greenstuff pads. They are very good from cold and great when hot. no squeel or noises like that and they rarely fade, if not atall. Have been running them for 2 years now and they are not even half worn!! :shock:

    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! 8-)

    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

    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?

    Best manifold for mb6

    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?

    rattle from the exhaust..grrrr!!!

    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.
