Are you going to do the front end facelift aswell?

Is that the new Civic FD2R gear knob? If so is it heavier than stock S2K?

Im have been searching on ebay for the AP2 lights for ages. I won a set and it never came!!!

FDNR knob is about the same weight, it is a touch lower, and takes a bit of gertting used to over the stock knob.

Love your work Mad.

How is the Amuse exhaust? Did you do a dyno comparison with stock?

Thanks guys.

Hey pechs good to see your still on the boards.

Mike, the Amuse is really nice, great sound and very light. It is about 20 kilos lighter than the stock peice, thats where the main difference is.

I didnt bother with before and after dyno. The Amuse dual is known to be the best dual on the market, with around 6 whp gain. I noticed the car has abit more urge in the 4000rpm range, and the rpm range feels smoother. Also the sound is awesome pre vtec, so you dont need to rev it out to redline to hear the thing.

The amuse and the stock exhaust are basically in design the same before the mufflers. The mufflers are large and straight through, that is where it frees it up I guess.

Im really happy with the Amuse though, exactly what I wanted, next best would be the fujitsubo, but that isnt as light and I dont like the canisters that are shiney.

how much did the exhaust cost you? and where did you get it from?
The F20C held the record for producing the highest specific power output for any mass production naturally aspirated engine 123.5 HP/L until Ferrari released the 458 Italia in 2010, which produces 124.5 HP/L.

. . .

That sounds good Mad. A 4-odd kilo dual exhaust is bloody incredible.

Again, it looks good mate. When I saw your car in North Sydney, it really stood out - a very well kept NFR.

I just realised that the glass window is smaller, is it because the folding motor mechanism different with 02+ model?

Glass window is smaller, due to the roof having to fold down into the parcel tray. The plastic is larger as it can fold in half. I liek it smaller, best looking softtop on the market I reckon.

Thanks for the kind words Mike.

Also just picked up a Bride Ergo II with black leather, with fabric centre (no gradation) and red stiching. Oohyeah!

Just waiting on the rails. If I like the seat I will get a second to balance the cockpit. They hug like crazy, but are reclinable, and comfy. Very tight fit though, the door, and the console are fully funtioning, no rubbing etc.

Actually I was meant to ask the reason why oem glass window is slighty bigger than aftermarket.

Great mods nonetheless and i like ap2 tail lights :), I will get one one day.
