fu*K thats a big turbo man!

did you like the xforce headers and how much power did you gain out of it?

btw im still waiting for the sway bar of you too

oh oh ohoh wait do you have a spare front strut bar?

cheers bro!

yeah that is a big turbo its a gt30 that will come with the peakboost kit.

sway bar will be given when i get my custom 28mm or 32mm cant decide.

strut bar ill have a look i think i have my old 1 sum where.

xforce felt like it gave me 3 to 5 kw lol.
i got it to get the whole car free flowing since i already and a CAI and exhaust system, it gets very happy after 4k rpm

**Jokkahk** · 25-02-2009 06:24 PM

yeah i dont think i'll be getting the headers then coz i dont have exhaust system and CAI

if you do find your strut bar will you sell it heheh

hey, just wondering will cusco front strut for dc5, its for the pre face models will it fit to our cars? or do i have to get the non pre face ones?

**Riced_Civic** · 26-02-2009 08:59 AM

yeah it should fit,the chassis is the same, only the body work is different.

**SHU-ES1** · 26-02-2009 10:16 AM

do the headers increase fuel consumption? coz i'm struggling to get 400km as it is for some reason now. i don't know why, it's been like this the last 2-3 top ups i'm running average 9.5L/100km. i haven't driven any differently and air con hasn't been used excessively, so i'm still trying to figure out the problem. you guys ever have this happen to you? i tried that stuff you put in the fuel to clean out the engine so i'm still waiting to see how that goes. i'd like the front strut

and maybe even the headers too! hahaha.. how much do they cost to install roughly?

sweeeett

headers to install should only be like 100 max, tho i got mine done for 80, i would not go any higher then 100 other wise it will be a rip.

the header might be sold tony sorry, but if chan is looking at getting a cusco one, and if i can remember where i put it u can take it off me

with the fuel apparently the header give u better fuel eco but i have yet to see any proof of that
