Just bought an EK9 on impulse! Car seems a bit slow before vtec kicks in. Driven a few EK4s and they feel a bit more gutsy lower down. Are type rs supposed to be this way?
BTW my clutch is worn and will be getting it changed. Was stood for a year or so before I bought it. Has an AEM style induction kit.
Also the exhaust pipe is wrapped just before it reaches back box by about a foot length of heat wrapping which looks like its covering a bit of rust.
What you guys think?
Is the clutch a limiting factor here? It doesnts lip or anything but is quite worn and biting point is high.
Or is the EK9 just not that great before vtec?
Couple of more things.. Will try and keep it as brief as possible!
Been to garage, mechanic called a couple of places and I have the option of fitting an Exedy clutch or a blue print. Blue print is £40 more.
Need a good exhaust system which doesn't sound too loud but can give good gains. Would custom be best? Looking at getting one made at Pro speed Cardiff. Or a branded exhaust like Mugen/5-zigen etc would be better?
Constructive feedback Much appreciated!
