Hi all...

I chose it as its more practicle...... evo servicing every 4.5k.... no thanks..... elise where can you put the Christmas shopping?

Honda had the answers to all the questions. So thats that..... :-)

Understand about the cost of brakes.... its more I want big brakes over needing them.... id have 8 pots but can't be doing with buying new wheels.... or spacers then the 8pots not fitting.... want to keep it looking standard but with some revisions... always add an oil cooler to my cars and a better rad will all hell keep on top of that horrid heat stuff.... lol. Look after her, shell look after you.

Cant wait to pick it up!

Careful there won't be enough heat left over to keep you toasty in the cabin.

Welcome & good choice of car

Personally I wouldn't bother wasting your money on an oil cooler if you plan to keep the car standard - spend the cash on something else

Lol... cold in the cabin.... im a biker a car with a top is always a toasty alternative.... its not staying standard just some sensible subtle revisions....

Ive already got the mocal oil cooler and pipe work so only need fittings and thermostatic end plate. The cooler is a 13row so its not over sized.....

I wanted an ap2 2004 onwards. As they have most of all the updates. Spring and damper rates, anti roll bar etc. My interior is red carpets, red centre seats. Black dash and black centre console. Seats don't have holes in head rests.... that interior was my second choice..... first would be red all round. :-)

I pretended not to read it, just too tempting...

I wonder if the OP has found the secret compartment??

Secret compartments.... you mean the storage areas by shouler and in tunel etc etc?

2004 onwards are the ones to have... better map... not that honda ever admitted that change ;-) more refined and better to drive imo.

Any input regards the induction kit? Im aware th oe isnt to bad but not good for cold air feed. Just thinking the k&n kit puts filter in a good place but runs pipes behind the radiator..... just found the n/a thred..... niche information! !!! Think ill bag the induction kit over a replacement filter :-)

It's not that.

Read your VIN number and have a look at the VIN plate especially what it says after "Type".
