I hope you are planning on getting some wheels. The Honda 16" wheels look lost with all that kit.

That front bumper would look better with a lower ride height.

What's being done this week?

Only a VTEC controller, having it mapped by local company Hyeline. They have just fitted a dyno though so should be fun!

S2UK- Know this car will be disliked by many members!! Was expecting it

You can get the VAFC settings from a thread on here But rolling road mapping is best. You will have to reset your ECU every now and then, the ECU can apparently learn its was around the VAFC settings - which will be true if its running out of the ECU's normal margins...

To point you in the right direction - look at mine from the side. A beautiful car (especially for a jap rocket)



Now lets see what it looks like when someone has stucka load of tat to it and painted it a very odd and dull looking black...



See the difference, the top one looks great, the other doesn't.
