Probably mate, power wise looking at what this ek9 is making stock vs standard I reckon 10bhp absolute tops with an exhaust.

 

How much was the exhaust from Racetech dude?

 

Less than one would cost off the shelf and better quality!!

 

This there site?

Would look into getting a system if the price is right,

 

How much did you pay Bobby?

 

Yea, give Ricky a call on his mobile. He's a really nice honest guy! His mobile number is on there...

 

BTW he did all the fab work on my S2K. All the intercooler pipework, exhaust etc...

 

do you still have your jordan? i still mind the csc and hondarevs build up ha.

 

Not a week goes by when I don't miss my EG civic(s).

I had a fully stripped out ESi with the D16Z6 engine, which went far quicker than it had any right to.

Then had another ESi that I swapped a Prelude H22 into.

A friend of mine had a B20 conversion that was frankly absurd, and I knew Tarun from G-motorsports (no idea if it's still around) who was working ona K24 drag civic. It was good for an 11 second 1/4 IIRC.

Road legal - but pretty much useless at anything other than accelerating hard so not really my bag.

It's funny, I spent my entire civic-ownership knowing what bits I wanted but not really being able to afford it. Now I could afford any civic bits I wanted, and instead I'm trying to decide whether I can justify spending money on the S, or get some PROPER metal.

Age old addage - as earnings increase, so does the cost of the toys you lust after. A carbon bonnet for a civic used to be a £250able part, coilovers could be done well for £400. I'd dream of that sort of price on bits for the S2k now!

 

Get used to it. I call it idiot tax.

Having said that I have done up two EG Civics and the prices I have paid for bits on the S2000 were VERY similar to the Civic.

Biggest difference was the cost of an exhaust manifold and the odd brace.

Makes a lot of sense considering the parts bin between an EG Civic and an S2000 are common.

Same can be observed between a Porsche and a Skoda, but prices will tell you differently.

On the whole of this thread though, there is no way that EK4 will be a match for an S2000. I have been up against EK9s and pulled away nicely.

20bhp from an exhaust is just not going to happen, but assuming that exhaust was sub £300, it'd be worth getting
