Cheers fella. Haha I would only have a Milano, or a JDM but couldnt justify the extra £££ for a older car with a lot more miles. NHB's (and Cosmic Greys) are nice though!

Its a Fujitsubo RM01A, didnt want the extra noise of the N1 and got it at a decent price Wouldnt mind your JRSC though!

Lol I know they are, and I know why, the sound is pretty epic TBH, and thats on a fairly stock car!

Yeah I've been told, its alot of coin and not sure if too much power through the front wheels for a road car??

Thanks fella

Hi

Nice looking car.

What does you're exhaust sound like? I currently have an oem back box with a supersprint b-pipe, its just to raspy for me in v-tec and would like something deeper that doesn't look like i have a dust bin strapped to the back of the car. Yours looks like a good size (your back box)
:thumbup:

Its not raspy at all, more a deep throaty sound, is at its loudest on idle or VTEC and even then its not ear deafening! I can sit at 70mph in 6th and still hold a conversation with everybody in the car.. Thinks its a 3" tailpipe? Would defo recommend one

Ill be doing the second hand option

Thank you :thumbup:

Haha I dont blame you! I was lucky, managed to drop on one being offered on here for alot less than that, but as said, they are rare so maybe a little while.. Think the cheapest is around £950 new after import taxes etc

Rims look great Dan! :thumbup:

The 888's on track are epic
Give me a shout when you are ready to do Oulton and i will give you some pointers.

p.s Is that your dads TT i can see in one of the pics! :cooldude:

Wheels are spot on, really chuffed with them! I am looking forward to testing the tyres properly, just want a few more things then I'll get it booked! Will let you know once its all booked up

Haha well spotted, yeah thats his pride and joy!

Went to Tegiwa last week & collected the Tegiwa M with red SFS hose. Was told will only take an hour to fit but took me two hours just to mod and refit the scuttle!

Only got a couple of pictures and a rubbish vid but does really make this VTEC malark...
