thanks! your car inspired me to do something with the transmission,

its so much better, still getting used to the diff tho.

The diff is a great mod, even after the trackdays last year I know I am still not using it to the max, your brain tells you the car will not hold through the corner yet, as you push harder the diff just grips and pulls you in.
So many people chase power when a change of transmission transforms the car, lots of ratios/FD to choose from also.
How is it looking for the EK or Mini to make Coombe this year?

I want I want I want!! I want to swap my VTec LSi fora type R!

Very nice m8.. the rocker cover looks brand new! u wouldnt have a vid of the exhaust sound by any chance? was always curious wot they sounded like on an ek9...

nice...did that airbox modification make a difference to it?

starting to get used to it now and my new clutch and brakes are well bed in,

i know exactly what you mean, as i come out some corner's i all most feel dissapointed with my self, knowing that it could of done it so much faster,

even with the stock suspension, and the old perished bushes its still so good!!

the 4.7 fd and act flywheel have helped, its far more exciting to drive now.

even mpg seems better some how.

all being well i'l see you at coombe again, really want to get on track......its been a while!

thanks, i'l try to get a vid,
tbh it sounds a bit like a spoon n1, but at a lower volume.

it had a Js kit on it b4, but the modded oem box is better, it contains a k&n panel filter btw.
