I usually only get to admire Liquid Yellow in our garage but I spotted another today, very local but never seen it before.
Spotted on the Oldbury Road driving towards the Toys ‘R’ Us M5 Jcn 2 Island.
I was using the ATM at the Co-op and almost forgot to take my money after being distracted...
I've been toying with the idea of changing my car for a while now and I've always had a soft spot for Integra DC5's. I started my search for a Championship White pre-facelift model a couple months back and finally found one that caught my eye over on the Integra Type R forum 2 weeks ago.
After...
Re-mapping advice
I'm looking into getting my car re-mapped at RS Tuning at some point this month. This may be a silly question but before i ask, let me put you guys in the picture.
My YozzaSport Race backbox has been sent back to JP due to the rivets becoming loose and it starting to blow...
It's well known that LSD choices for the above are both limited and pricey with the main contender probably being Quaife coming in at just over 1k.
I have a contact who works within a performance car parts distribution company, he has been in touch saying he's found a helical type LSD (same as...
As some of you may or may not know, I've owned this car for over 2 years now and as the spec always seems to be changing so I thought I'd put a few fresh pictures up!
Here's a few from a month back after a good detailing session...
Fitted a set of Trophy Recaro's to my 172 Cup yesterday and now these two lights have come on.
I was under the impression It would be a straight swap with no implications, have I done something wrong? Is it just a case of getting the car plugged in to a diagnostics machine to get them switched off?
All being well I will be collecting a set of Trophy Recaro's in the morning for my 172 Cup.
Obviously I'll have to fold down the rear bench and remove the parcel shelf.
Just wondered if anyone knows whether they'll actually fit in the back! Should I take my original passenger seat out before I...
Here's a clip of my 172 Cup fitted with a YozzaSport exhaust and de-cat pipe @ Curborough Spring Course just after Christmas.
I honestly didn't realise how loud it was outside the car, I'll end up with an ASBO soon!

Here's one from outside the car...
Had the Spax RSX with the outboard rear coilover kit fitted yesterday over at BTM Performance so i thought i'd give the Cup a quick wash and take some of pictures.
Fred also recommended that i have the Pure Motorsports top mounts and strut brace package fitted at the same time to compliment the...
I brought this exhaust second hand inc decat pipe a couple of months ago of this forum.
My issue is that one of the rivets has came loose on the back box and has started to blow.
I'm not really sure as to where I can go to get this sorted, as it's second hand and i don't have original proof of...
The before...

I also fitted a Yozzasport de-cat pipe and the system...
Had my car dyno'd yesterday at Hi-Tech Motorsport, Cradley, West-Mids.
Current spec:
Full Yozza race system inc. de-cat
R.S stamped inlets
ITG panel filter
Always run on Tesco 99RON fuel
So Mick the "rolling road specialist" straps my car down jumps in and does his thing. He instantly asks...
Due to this lovely weather we're being treated to this weekend i thought I'd give the Cup a much needed polish and just a general TLC session.
Polish of choice was Auto Glym Super Resin Polish.
Anyway, here's some pictures: http://www.flickr.com/photos/75442420@N05/6782124400/in/photostream/...
The front brakes on my 172 Cup have seen better days, so time for an upgrade.
From what I'm reading on here, the general consensus is that it is best to go for standard vented discs and the money saved on those should be invested in a quality set of pads. Am I right in thinking this?
Are these...
Now to start off i know not to take much notice of the trip computers but I cant help but notice a sudden drop in MPG
I drive a 172 Cup and can usually get around 45MPG on a motorway run but now it struggles to get 40MPG.
I did take the sop section of the inlet off at the weekend to clean my...
Due to my old 172 Cup exhaust system having the breaking point of a kit kit I'm on the hunt for a new exhaust, but there are just so many out there :S
I've managed to narrow it down to either a K-Tec stealth exhaust or similar to keep the "stock" look or an under slung YozzaSport system...
I know it's a bit short notice but a few of us are meeting up Clent just off the A456 today around 5pm. Just putting this up in case anyone else is interested. I'll post a map up if required.
Not had the car long and wanted to get rid of some previous curb marks.
A colour change was the plan from the very start and I'm so glad i went for it. Think the brake calipers need painting now though, yellow maybe?
Also had brand new Yokohama S-Drives fitted all round at the same time...
