I didnt say that temp/weather isnt relevant. You was stating that your car has survived 3 times as many winters driving from cold compared to my 1 year of warming up 5 mins prior to driving & i quote You was the one that said doing this will kill my engine, all i wanted to know was if i had a...

I wasnt asking for a competition on how long you have had your car, just stating that ive had a year of faultless driving & always warmed my car up 5 mins prior to driving, im pretty sure that wont kill it anytime soon & with no tapping & rattling noises im happy to continue the way i am. We...

Actually it was a friend i went to school with who has worked for Honda since he was 17 (now aged 30) & now a Honda technition who has owned an ek9, itr & now has a nsx, i actually went & got a G5 fitted off my own back. Ive had a year of faultless driving apart from the suspected thermostat...

Thats not the reason why i do it. Ive purposley had the remote start fitted as i was recommended to warm the engine at low rpm when cold.

I have a Clifford G5 on my car with remote start, ive used it everyday for a year & have had no problem yet, im not saying that they dont cause problems just ive had none as yet. Is there a difference in how it starts your car? I would of thought it was the same apart from you dont have to put...

Cheers for that, defo sounds like the thermostat sticking. If its over cooling the engine that would be why the heat coming out of my heaters is not as toasty warm as what it has been. I would disagree about letting the car ideling for 5 mins too. Surely letting the engine get up to temp at...

Hmmmm, i think i have a problem somewhere then. I always start my car with remote start 5 mins before i drive it. As i said over the last few days its just been sitting on notch 2/3 then goes up a couple more under harder driving & then drops back down at normal driving, its definetley not...

Hi all, i have a stock ek9 & thats pretty much how i want to keep it but ive been toying with the idea of a vtec controller as i wouldnt mind that power coming in a little bit earlier. What i would like to know is are there any dis-advantages to fitting one. Also how easy are they to fit...

Whats the symptoms of a duff thermostat? I only noticed the other day that my car takes a while to warm up. The temp guage seems to fluctuate a bit, only by a couple of notches but it didnt do this before. In normal driving conditions the temp guage needle is sitting on the 2nd/3rd notch, i just...

No its not standard, it was actually one of the 1st Rallye's in the UK to have a 16 valve conversion. Its not heavly modded, it has a full grp N Pugsport system & K&N but the key is stripping it to the bone :nice: I ran a 14.1 @ Santa Pod. I ran along side The Focus RS the year it came out &...

By the way, nothing beats the sound of your videos in VTEC mode, they were what made me buy my EK9 & that was before i knew about this forum.

Cheers RVM, they have been kicking about for a while now but i plan to make some new ones now im used to the EK9.

Is anyone going to ultimate street car at Santa Pod first weekend of August? Im going but im not taking the CTR. I always get too wrecked & end up sleeping in the car whilst listening to some old skool tunage & i dont think i really want the car to be full of grass, mud, beer & sometimes...

Just a short video of when i first got the EK9, its not really being driven properly as i was only just getting to grips with it & before anyone asks i wasnt on accelaration once 5th gear was engaged i was just holding it. I forgot to mention this was on a private track with oncoming traffic :D...

Very nice standard EK9, just how they should look!!!

Sounds good mate, you will certainly be different in a EK9!

Are you talking about track or 1/4 mile? EK9 would whip it on track, not sure about the 1/4 mile though.

I prefer them without the fogs, absolutley stunning. Well done mate, its worth paying extra for one that good! Good luck with the transaction.

I only need a CAT 2 alarm with my ins company. You had a 400bhp scooby & your worried about ins on an EK9? I wouldnt of thought it would of been anymore than that. The EK9 & 328 are totally different cars, it all depends on your driving style really as the beemer is rwd & the EK9 is fwd...
