I bought this car in standard form from Tegiwa Imports last august.

My intention was to leave it that way, but as with my previous two Hondas (Crx and an Integra Type R) I've felt the need to make a few changes.

Here is a list of all mods in pretty much chronological order made to the car since my ownership :-

Fit my Mp3 Pioneer stereo
Removed parcel shelf
Removed Spare Wheel and replaced with Can of Tyre foam
Removed front door speakers and fit dash mount surface mount tweeters
Uprated rear speakers with Pioneers
Painted all brake calipers signal red
New Battery
Mugen Airbox
5Zigen 4-2-1 manifold
Magnaflow High Flow Cat
Exedy Oem Clutch
Exedy Lightened Flywheel
15" Mk1 Desmond Regamaster Wheels with 64.1-73mm spigots
5Zigen Proracer lightweight wheelnuts (resprayed from an anodised pinky colour to red)
Mugen Twinloop Muffler
Mugen Twinloop B-pipe
A set of better conditioned Mats
New set of Oem Decals

How does your car compare to your previous Integra Type R?

What power is your 9 making?

I owned a uk Integra Type R for about a year. I felt my Ek9 handled better after driving it for only 5 minutes. Power differences between the two was hard to judge as they are obviously very closely matched although I felt the Ek9 was quicker off the mark and that was when the car was unmodified.

The Car has definately improved since with lighter wheels and lightened flywheel the most noticable differences.

Don't know what power its making as I haven't had it dyno'd. Not sure if I ever will, just happy it feels quick, looks sweet and handles really well like an EK9 should. :nice:

The magnaflow 200 cell cat cost me about £70 which when considering a standard cat or decat pipe is about the same or more is pretty good value.

I got it fitted at the same time as the 5Zigen 4-2-1 header and remember the car feeling like it revved up quicker and felt less restricted. Sounded a bit tastier too :)

Oh, and I breezed through the mot last month with this 200 cell cat for anyone concerned. :nice:

Thanks for all positive comments.

I feel very fortunate to be driving such a great car with the added bonus of them being so rare. :clap:

On the lookout for a Spoon Ecu next. :nice:

From a local tuner in wolverhampton. They specialised in Ford cosworths but also supply and fit numerous brands like magnaflow and are now doing much more work on jap cars.

They were dynoing an 800bhp skyline when I was there last.
