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.

ahh so your the one who's been buying all the goodies! The roof looks awesome too...how do you get rid of the creases!??! ah mine were fixed up but there are still some there...it's driving me nuts!

btw, I think you should remove the windshield tape! that would look much better IMO
