    Got a replacement bumper off eBay1B58F34D-6241-4966-997E-1D4E3914742D_zps

     

    Colour coded the bumper at local garage and also got them to fit the springs.44E72458-9260-4398-BC29-EAF3AEA1C35F_zps033644C2-2197-4E53-B577-FB7B17ED14D0_zpsFCC415CB-4C4F-45A0-A975-9CB419454D67_zps

  2. Yes the leaks is coming from the engine area. Sometimes I can see yellow/greenish liquid over the front lip. It had rained in the past few days so couldn't really determine the leaks but I've noticed one particular area on the ground that is always wet, it is coming from under the corner of the front driver side. Any idea what that could be?

     

    Also got a few updates. As my exhaust centre pipe was broken, I tried to replace it with an 2.5 I had bought earlier on but it was short from the front. So what I did was add the decat pipe on front of it, not sure if stupid idea lol? The decat pipe wouldn't fit on my car anyway. It sounds nice and loud but I want it more louder so next thing on my list is an aftermarket manifold but first I need to get the lowering springs installed as they are sat here doing nothing :P

    I also re wrapped the dash trim again in carbon, previously I had to use 3 seperate cuts and it looked horrible so now one full sheet, nice and smooth.5B1CB7BC-7655-46D4-ACAD-B0ED3F16C153_zps

     

    Lastly my red rocker cover, my first engine mod :P Also did few other bits. Quite pleased with but I'm wanting to do the Honda text in black as well as all the bolts on the rocker cover.

  3. Hey guys back on here, want to ask a similar question but didn't want to make a new thread.

     

    So yeah I think I do have what it's called catifold, manifold and catalytic converter in once piece.

     

    I would like to make my exhaust louder, so I was thinking of getting a 4-2-1 manifold with downpipe. This way there will be no catalytic converter so will this mean it is decatted? Also does the the downpipe connect straight to centre pipe?

     

    I currently have standard setup except the backbox welded onto standard tailpipe. My centre pipe has broken so needs replacing. I already have a 2.5 centre pipe. I placed in underneath the car in same position as standard centre pipe and it's short from the front. So what now? Could I just bolt the straight decat pipe to make it longer or will that be a stupid thing to do lol

  4. Got bad news and confused what to do. May need some advice.

     

    A few weeks ago I noticed some spill on the floor every morning I took the car out of driveway, stupidly I didn't pay attention to it. I also could smell petrol in my car at some times. Few days later it was getting frustrating to see the spills so I had a look underneath and couldn't tell anything. I checked the oil and dipstick mark was showing very low so I bought and poured in 2L of the same oil. 

     

    It's now been 2 weeks and the car has since spilled twice. Last time it spilled was 5 days ago. Around the time when the spills occurred, my exhaust also started to sound loud. It's only a back box I have with standard tail pipe.

     

    Just recently, few days ago, I was driving uphill and exhaust became even more loud. Every time I went over speed bumps, I could hear knocking noise from the exhaust. Also my petrol light came up the same day when I had only done 54 miles. I was shocked to see it because I normally get 100-130 miles from £20 petrol. So I drove until 81 miles then filled up £20. It's been a few days and today petrol light came up at 80 miles which seems alright to me as it's normal, I could get 30 miles extra totalling 110 miles but it's always town driving I do.

     

    Only had a chance to go to garage today to check and they couldn't find any leaks, but we saw that the centre pipe had broken causing the exhaust to knock and sound loud. I've already got a stainless centre pipe and also a decat so I think it's about time to get it fitted. What I'm worried about is why couldn't they find any leaks? Why would the car leak for a bit then all of sudden stop? If I leave it like this unchecked, would there be a bigger problem in future?

  5. Mine had deep finger marks so wrapped them and really pleased with out come. Next I will re wrap the dash trim properly as last time I had to use 3 seperate cuts.

    Also bought a MB6 bumper which came with VTi lip and fogs for a bargain price. Haven't checked the fogs and may sell it as I have no need for it. The lip is also not needed so that will go as well along with some other lips as well. I bought the bumper main for headlight washers as I think they add a mean look to front end. Will get it resprayed first then fit.
