    Exhaust difference MC2 / MC1

    in Engine & Chassis

    Posted

    Ok great, thought may be the case. Its not an urgent job but makes things easier if I need to change exhaust can just get vti one as they seem more plentiful for some reason! obviously slightly larger bore should flow better as well. Yes as you say for some reason the 1.6 seems to have 2 lambda sensors before & after the cat whereas I recently changed the 1.8 lambda and its just got a single one just before the cat.

    Actually you won't be able to fit the 1.8 (B-series) header to your 1.6 (D-series) block! So don't even bother trying :)

    Thanks everyone! I'm also really pleased with the nice clean and OEM condition of this car

     

    @DaveMB2:

    Yea I know what you mean... I'm really gonna have to try and resist the temptation of buying too many upgrades for the car, haha :D! But hopefully I will be able to do that; I still have my Integra-R DC2 standing in the garage for doing all works/upgrades etc. ;)

     

    I'll keep you all posted in this topic, any installed upgrades, new pics etc :)

    Betermans' MB6 & JDM DC2

    Hi all,

     

    As I've already introduced myself in the 'introductions' subforum (link to my topic, with some info & pics of the DC2: http://civic5.com/forum/index.php?/topic/7183-introduction-from-the-netherlands-jdm-dc2-to-be-mb6-owner/) and because of the fact that I've picked up my MB6 daily ride yesterday, it's about time to open a new thread over here as well :)

     

    So here it is then... the 100% stock MB6 which I've picked up yesterday and is going to be my daily ride! The JDM DC2 ITR will stay as my hobby/track-car project

     

    Some first impression pics:

    Then off course the inevitable question - what are the (upgrade) plans ;)..!? Well, actually not a lot. The car will be my daily ride, so I don't want to have it heavily modified. For that I off course still have my Integra-R 'trackbitch' standing in the garage ;)

     

    There are SOME mild plans though:

    - Red lugnuts (already ordered)

    - New set of floor mats (already in the car actually!)

    - Fitting my OEM ITR DC2 96spec 15" wheels on the car; this will be done once the 3mm spacers for the front wheels (in order to clear the big brake calipers) are delivered

    - Decat (just to free up a 'bit' more power ;) )

    - Potentially a set of lowering springs (looking at the Eibach Pro Kits now - anyone have experience with these?)

    - MG ZS 180 rear anti-rollbar upgrade

     

     

    That's about it for now! Keep you guys posted.

    O and off course: all opinions/comments/questions/remarks and advice are more than welcome over here :)!

    Pic request for MB6 w/ 96spec ITR DC2 wheels on

    VERY nice car you got there! As those rims are the 98spec (replica's I think? As JDM 98spec is 5stud), they're 16" right? I have to say that IMO 16" actually looks nicer on the MB6 than 15"... But hey, I already have my OEM 96spec 15" wheels laying in the garage just catching dust (while having new tires on them.. x) ), so I'll just put 'm to good use :).
