Mickg Posted September 28, 2021 Author Share Posted September 28, 2021 The slow boat from china arrived and the £30 airfilter arrived, had to do a small bit of fettling by making a 90° joint for coolant as had to replace the rocker cover breather and the origional hard lines are bonded together. Also the vtec has 3 ports in the origional hose and this had 2 so a wee drill hole and a grommet and all was good. It has a simota ? Air filter same as eurocarparts sell but i will be getting a better reputable brand at somepoint. Part load/throttle and its no louder than a standard setup , put the foot down and its propper loud lol and you i can now here vtec kick in quite clearly. Its certainly the most fun £30 ive spent so far, now i need to remove the strut brace and paint it blue. Manged to pick up an alloy rad at the weekend for £30 (preowned with aftermarket hoses and fan) also got a vti coupe magnaflow rear can so working on that to change the flange and add a hanger that was also £30 so got over the drama and moving on. On one of the many trips to halfords for body work supplies i also picked up a tin of vht satin black to paint the rocker cover with aswell 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
