It's really good fun mate! not really looking around at other cars too much like I normally do, I have a 12 month goal but I can easily keep the civic for a year!

Yes mate, started already, tegiwa brake stopper, dot 5.1 fluid, hybrid shifter bushes, sportex b pipe, aem cai, flirted with facelift lights but preferred my pre facelift ones. It likes to drink a litre of oil a month/750-800 miles. Stepping up to 5w40 now with a hamp shortie filter and it should calm down the oil usage.

I did spot demon tweets had piper cat backs for £343 delivered, very tempted, that's over £100 off rrp.

They were Cree Q5 5watt 382 lumens and were about £20 for a pair. Worth it and far better than the led clusters. No warnings ever.

Sounds like you been very busy with the car then! christ it drinks the oil haha! i ran sportex b pipe and spoon n1 first and it was stupidly loud lol. piper exhausts are very good i had one on my civic as well , they fit perfectly and the downpipe can be fitted with standard front anti roll bar whereas some require the jdm version

Thanks Josh, I'll order some tonight in that case!

Right, fitted the rarb!

It needs some proper compression to fit, used a ratchet strap, it needs to flex in by around an inch!

Here's how far it over shoots the mount points when the bar is central:

Ratchet strappin'

I hung the bar on the clamps then swung it up to the shock mounts, other way around may have been easier?

Once mounted I left all bolts slack, dropped it down to the floor then tightened everything up

The mikalors are a pain to bend around the beam but its all good now and fitted up well.

Not had a chance to test it out yet!

 bit of a trip down memory lane like but what car was the rarb meant for? was it the one for a mk2 fabia?

 

luke

I believe so mate

Is that an LCR splitter on a fabia

Thought it was a Leon Cupra R there for a minute

Can't beat making a car look like something its not

Mountune Fiesta ST?

Mountune Fiesta ST?

Seriously considered it, only thing if miss is the big engine grunt.

E39 M5 OR E46 M3

Seriously considered it, only thing if miss is the big engine grunt.

 

Without wanting to preach to the converted, hybrid turbo is 270-300bhp.

In a car that's under 1200kg...

 

But plenty of options out there if you just want some big car grunt.
