Stainless exhaust for Integra Type R DC2 - uk spec
Kenich replied to skinnyman's topic in General Automotive Chat
All I know is generally the exhausts are pricey, and that one is cheap. Pay for what you get and all that? I had a spoon n1 system, it was great! Single 3 inch tail pipe so none of that ridiculous chav cannon business. Was just abit to loud on vtec, sounded great just annoying after a short while. -
I have the Billie B4 sports (shortened) with Eibach Pro springs. For what I wanted I am extremely pleased It rides similar to a stock VRS though it is as comfy "if not" comfier imo. It is obviously now a lot firmer on cornering due to the Eibach springs. Its not a lot lower, a little bit more noticeable but not slammed. I used this setup first of all for a while on an old 106 Rallye I had years back and was impressed for a cheap fix. They were soon changed to suit a track setup, but on the road the combo worked well. I had new top mounts / drop links fitted and also a Whiteline RARB fitted at the same time as the B4s/Pros. Since the setup I have found the turn in is now a lot sharper, but I still get a little bit of body roll. This for me is great as I was not after an under dampened ride on hard springs. My wifes uses the car daily so it suits our (her) needs well. I wanted the B8s or B6s but for over double the price I could not really justify it in the end. If it was my track car or weekend sports car I would of gone harder and lower, but as a family hatch I opted for a safe comfy bet. For the price I cannot grumble!

Replacing winter tyres with regular/summer tyres
Kenich replied to mr_roggger's topic in Skoda Octavia Mk II (2004 - 2013)
I am in the market for tyres. Similar price range to what your looking at, expect I wil go for Rainsport 2s. Old model now which still performs well. I thought about ZZ3s again but was not to keen on them on my Lotus. T1Rs are great but wear out to soon which for me ain't an option right now. -
Hello from Somerset, newbie Skoda Superb owner
Kenich replied to SomersetSkodaSuperb's topic in Hellos and Goodbyes
TRD are only in Stroud, also there is apparently a great vw/audi centre the too. Which I think is penned by the owners family. -
OEM Skoda Lowering Springs
Kenich replied to Moley RUFC's topic in Skoda Octavia Mk II (2004 - 2013)
I thought that, and queried it with Eibach. However had a few people say that the estates springs also had est rear stamped on the rear spring. The ones I have don't and use a different part number than other rear estate springs I have seen to. -
OEM Skoda Lowering Springs

I have some red spring from skoda for sale. Eibach confirmed they are for the hatchback, I presumed they we were for an estate but was wrong. -
New vRS "Carbon Look" interiors
Kenich replied to fabio978's topic in Skoda Octavia Mk II (2004 - 2013)
Agree fully. Fake carbon is tacky! Glossy trim however can look very smart imo. -

Will this DPF / Downpipe fit my Vrs?
Kenich replied to Kenich's topic in Skoda Octavia Mk II (2004 - 2013)
I have taken off the VAG exhaust clamp and found that the knuckle on the aftermarket exhaust pipe fits snug and tighter on the end of the DPF. This brings it closer in length to stock pipe now. I then realised the other end also has a knuckle so the centre section will just slot inside I should be ok for getting it all fitted next week -
I brought this off a member on here last year. It is suppose to be a DPF filter already gutted... I only just got it out the box and noticed it appears to be wrong When putting it against my standard DPF which is off my VRS it appears to have the wrong downpipe. It looks like its been cut and an adapter pipe made up, though its to long compared to the standard pipe. I take it this won't fit? I am not sure what comes after this pipe but I am sure it won't be as short as the extra length on the pipe. Thanks for any help, Aaron
