and before you go on a long trip, make sure you replace that axle back to standard. even panadol doesn't work *sigh*
are u serious? i had a spoon n1 on my s2000 with a test pipe and it was the best exhaust ive ever had, quiet in low revs and sounded great when driving with abit of spiritQuote:

It's Gli, yeah I was so stoked about the low kms, interior is immaculate and exterior has only tiny little scratches from wear and tear. I don't think the old owner drove much :DQuote:

yes! It's like i've gone back in time and brought a car back with me, everything inside is oem and in perfect condition, no scuff marks or anything, no signs of wear on the seats at all. I believe it was Garaged aswell :thumbsup:Quote:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mfWch...ature=youtu.be
There the next exhaust finally got back from the shop, the bloke that helped me said the noise i was hearing at 3k rpm was normal for honda's due to their reasonators and high RPM.. not sure what it meant, but yeah exhaust looking fresh and goes very well , pretty loud crossover also!
hmm. is spoon n1 supposed to be one of the better sounding exhausts? what others are out there?
There is high end brands like fujitsubo , j's racing , mugen and spoon , many others but cannot think of them, supposed to be good cause sound is low on low rpm , but high on high rpm! in person noise is very different to the videoQuote:

sounds great man! excellent choice yet again!

finally had the funds and time to respray my bonnet back to its factory colour (i happen to found a black em1 bonnet in which i rocked around for quite some time). Excuse the white stains on the bumper lol, was all from the prepping. Only had the chance to put the bonnet back onto the car. Will wetsand and buff it out to remove most of the imperfections

i wish there were more nice ek's in my town :( there's nothing apart from a 350hp build that's sitting in a garage atm.

only drove back from JDM Yard yesterday, felt pretty good, nice and comfy for daily but the handling heaps better. should get bit better as the wheel alignment done tho
cheers
its a legit ek9, ive got the subframe tie bar in my garage lol just took it off cause i took it to the mechanic's and exhaust place didnt want it getting in the way when they had to work on it !Quote:

Ek9 have a stronger rear subframe so you don't need one, iirc it won't fit?
Oh..you're styleofhabit. LOLQuote:
