Thanks all Macca - glad i could help. Theres no such thing as a stupid question so if you have any more then just fire away. Theres a broad spec of people on here with a wide variety of knowledge so im sure they'll be able to help in some way. I got me a Integra Type R now

That is a bargain price!

Im a genius.... but i aint no miracle worker!!

Cheeky southerner!! I spent 15mins writing that and another 3 mins editing it for spelling and making sure i wasn't talking dribble etc..

Hi Macca, Welcome to the forum mate! Once air goes through the filter it goes into the plenum, this distributes the air evenly into the 6 chambers (as its a v6). A plenum spacer is just that, it spaces the lower part and the upper part of the plenum further away from each other which in effect makes the plenum capable of holding more air. (Imagine filling a burger bun with an extra thick burger instead of a thin one like mcDonalds serve haha) Because the design of the V6 there are two exhaust manifolds. (basically 3 pipes coming away from the engine at each side like this http://z-store.co.uk/index.cfm?fuseaction=product.display&product_ID=8838&ParentCat=30. Each of these then go into a catalyst. A catalyst is part of the exhaust that takes bad gases and turns them into less harmful gases for the ozone. The bad thing about this is that the cats are restrictive and slow the gas flow thus reducing performance. High flow cats do exactly what they say on the tin and are good because you dont need to swap them come MOT time. You can get cat delete pipes which are just plain pipes that replace where the cats have been, although they wont pass the MOT test so you'll need to put the standard cats back on come MOT time. From each of the cats theres the y pipe, like this http://z-store.co.uk/index.cfm?fuseaction=product.display&product_ID=8742&ParentCat=30 that brings both pipes together into one pipe. this then goes into the back box which looks like this: http://z-store.co.uk/index.cfm?fuseaction=product.display&product_ID=8828&ParentCat=30 Most cat back exhaust systems for the Zed dont come with the Y-pipe section, however you can always buy the one in the link above. The NISMO exhaust system does come with the y-pipe. Many people chose the Nismo as its got one of the best sounds and its well built being a nissan item. Air filters id' advise to get the JWT popcharger or K&N typhoon. both will sound great. All the items are street legal apart from the cat delete pipes as it can fail an emissions test. and all cars from 1992 (i think) require cats. If you look at the Z store ive linked you too theres plenty to choose from so just take your pick. Some other companies who post on here maybe able to do you a good deal too. BigPhil, Tdi and Adam@ z1 auto to name a few. Oh and dont forget if you dont know,... without a tuneable ecu you wont see many, if any, power gains at all as the standard ecu compensates for the modifications. Most people add the cats, filter and exhaust purely for the sound. Plenum spacers are meant to add a small amount of power but this is debatable and still un conclusive. Good luck anyway! Hope ive helped in some way.. oh by the way what civic did you have?

they have about 200bhp as standard them engines. bet that didnt half shift! I just googled the mondeo cosworth and it directed me here: http://reyland.co.uk/projects/mondeo/index.htm couldn't believe it! lol

I saw you too, i remember now from the wheels!!

Dont worry i used to read about Reyland back in the days i bought Fast Car and Max power, well early 90's anyway and i saw it crash on Gumball too. I remember reding a while back about a mondeo with a cosworth conversion which was mighty quick. you know anything about that? I used to idolise that escort cossie back in the day.

The R8 and Enzo didnt do anything for me...

Mine When you see the cars in the flesh you really notice the detail and workmanship thats gone into each car. The FORD GT just looked like a high production car in comparison.

Not cos of car, but cos you look like John Barnes alittle tubby one Cheeky ****er yeah but i told you..when you put that shirt on, your more like Viera!

+1 Megs 3 step for me too. I go through about 10 microfibre cloths too.

Exactly the same reason I voted Manchester Retract the vote Sarnie an come to Manchester And anyone who voted newcastle should swing there vote to manchester or else it means a longer drive down to London. Manchester is much closer

Not cos of car, but cos you look like John Barnes alittle tubby one

Have to agree on the Koenigsegg and promo girls. McRae's car looks tiny (P4) but i bet it shifts. I liked the KTM X-BOW too, i thought it was finished well and the dry carbon was nice! Also loved the orange Zonda and roofless lambo's, oh and the carbon wheels that a few cars had on.

I read that the R8 was THE most successfull race car of all time.

Kev - You've probably seen it a trillion times, but just for you:

:lol: Good one!

Have you? When?

Some quality cars, and enjoyed the live event. Chuffed the DC5 wiped the floor in the time attack Was good t catch up with you digsy.

Holder just unscrews, stick it to the bumper: Copycat!!

TDI R8? That cant be right. http://www.leftlanenews.com/audi-to-sho ... troit.html A V12 Diesel lol Its the R10, alan mcnish was talking about it at autosport international. there entering Le Mans 24hrs and another 24hr series.

here I ain't bothered about a plush hotel so the cheaper the better imo Me too, more money for beer

Are you ok with going in the week? And what about airports? Fine through the week. Id prefer manchester, liverpool if pos. Bt if a few go and there all happy to fly from birmingham then i'll go from there.

+1 Id spend the money on a detailer if anything.
