Little update:

got home from work, jumped in civic and went to pick misses up, got there picked her up, went 200 yards down road car all of a sudden gets silly loud and lots of scraping. Bloody Ej9 centre pipe was rusty and snapped off just before back box, had to hold centre pipe up with a set of headphones ,as rubber hanger snapped aswell

On the good side got half day on sat and work letting me take car onto ramps and get the welder out so have another EK3 exhaust i am going to adapt and change to fit and maybe if i can find a cheap jap can custom make a angle exhaust.

And will be getting a nice service
oil
oil filter
Spark plugs
Engine flush

And a jet wash in the valet bay
and a nice polish in body shop.

Will get pics of process.

Little update:

After my exhaust half falling off, I thought it woul be a good idea to replace it.

So a little phone call to EU, Got a ek4 VTI centre pipe for £33 with all gaskets and mountings.

Then today went to work and had half a day.

And Cracked on with the car:

Changed Oil
Changed Plugs
Changed Oil Filter
Fitted New centre pipe
Nice Wash in valet bay
Fitted my head unit
Relocated dials.

So a fair bit of work for 2 hours,

Also went to visit local Jap car tuner, see if he had any good exhausts lying around,

This will be for my next little update.

Anyway pics :

Mugen 4-1 manifold
