adamdunn5 Posted February 7, 2010 Share Posted February 7, 2010 R reg.Pirates Black.Im the 3rd owner from new.104'000 milesI got the car standard.Tonight I have taken the resinator box out and fitted an air filter and cold air pipe, on a bit of metal tubbing going to the intake manifold. It has a breather pipe going to the rocker cover.Also removed the front fog lights as they are smashed, so put a bit of rubber piping on the drivers side going up to the air filter. All the metal tubbing go's cold and even the intake manifold is cold.Revited the front bumper proplay, broke where the head of the bolt/screw sits so just used a washer. Sit beter but not perfect.Sadly thats it for now, my fuel lines are leaking so its going in to get them replaced. Only getting 17.5 mpg when using vtec After that im planning on doing a full service, timming belt has been done @ 60'000 miles but just doing it anyway. Its in need of a good service. Been looking at service packs from Funkypowers website. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

adamdunn5 Posted February 20, 2010 Author Share Posted February 20, 2010 Sadly there will not be any mods done for a while.My car needs fuel lines replaced front to rear and a new fuel pump. Been told with v.a.t and labour it will be £670 (Local garage not Honda)Bought the car 5 weeks ago with full 1 year m.o.t, no advisorys.2 days after buying the car I got Honda to do a free health check and they said the fuels lines where corroded and weeping from the rear.Checked the VOSA website and the past 4 years my car has had advisorys for fuel lines.I'm going to have a word with the garage that sold it to me on Monday.
