Also with the induction kit - take off the front bumper and the resonance box for the air filter- it goes through the hole there and sits right behind the vent on the left. If you cut out the vent [Or use a Js Racing scoop] it gives you a fair amount of cold air as well.

And I think that's the same exhaust I was running on my old boosted civic, lovely tone but a bit loud when you hit about 4k rpm! If you're after turbo parts - I have basically my whole old turbo kit laying around somewhere if you're interested mate :)

So my moneys going to keep building up til any other opportunities arise.

Some good news....

I might look at getting some shortened set rate shocks for the springs, as iirc the last time i went this low on my first car, i got spax shocks allround and car noticably went lower compared to stock shocks with same springs.

Im going to calm down on the spend and get these things sorted/fitted plus ive got afew things to send to the states for one of our members
