Guest Posted September 20, 2013 Share Posted September 20, 2013 Hi all,Just had time to start a thread. My Vti is my daily drive. Very rare colour...... Silver lol. Would of liked to bought one in a different colour but when i went to see it, it was brilliant condition, very low mileage with 56,000 on the clock and totally stock. 6 years later with 86,000 and a few mods, still loving it and wanting to improve. Not blessed with loads of cash but iv done most things myself. Once painted the stock alloys in gunmetal, back to silver now. Lowered on standard vti shocks, mg zs rear arb. Brilliant upgrade, noticed straight away after the first corner! Longlife exhaust with 3inch outward rolled tail pipe, induction kit, quickshift, painted rocker cover and a general detail of the engine bay. I dont spare any expense on the servicing, best oil, changing every 6,000 etc. Suprises a lot of peps with its stock performance but you all know that. The most reliable car iv owned and iv owned a few! Future plans, wheels, vtis kit but tryin some zs side skirts this weekend, bought cheap. S80 box as iv heard on here is prob the best upgrade! The one thing i havnt heard on here for an upgrade is the steering. Is there a quicker rack out there to make the steering more precise and more responsive? Look forward for any thoughts to improve and to look at some of your own cars for ideas. CheersP.S struggling to put pics up from the phone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted September 21, 2013 Share Posted September 21, 2013 Thanks for the help with the uploading pics mate. Will try in a bit to upload. I nearly bought a dc2. Bought a house instead, boring lol. When i took it out for a spin the steering was awsome, very direct! Thought the teg rack would sort the mb6 steering out. I know you can buy mk 2 escort and nova quick racks but they are catered well for rallying etc. Yeah iv heard it drops it by a second . I know that the gear ratios are different but could you just change the final drive on the s9b? Wonder if anyone has tried that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NIKH25 Posted September 21, 2013 Share Posted September 21, 2013 A couple of people have built custom gearboxes, Dr Broon and Weetec both built boxes with longer fifths and final drives. http://civic5.com/forum/index.php?/topic/1401-dr-broons-vti-deck/ http://civic5.com/forum/index.php?/topic/3255-weetecpart-2/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
