Well ive given the new seats a good clean,and treated the leather with autoglym!they have come up really well,bolsters are like new and all ready for fitting saturday!

However ive developed a knocking noise from the passanger front wheel :shock: local garage has checked it over but cant find anything wrong :? i've had a look and cant find any play in anything either!It sounds like two things banging together when i am going slow on bumpy ground,anybody got any ideas?

Are you on coilovers? If so it could be the main spring and and helper spring knocking coz mine just started doing it and that's what ive narrowed it down to, could also be strut top bearing....

Looking Good Mate :) Carbon Wrap looks great

Where did you get the car dyno'd mate? Was it that place in Deeside?

120bhp is a good result considering the age of the car and the mileage :)

Cheers mate :) might check them out and get my Civic Dyno'd there

Yeah you should be happy with 120bhp mate, a good exhaust system, Manifold & Re-map would probably see it push 135+

Demon Tweeks in Wrexham would be your best bet mate, they are official powerflow dealer and can make some pretty impressive exhaust systems.

I remember they quoted me for an R32 style exhaust for my GTI but it involved cutting out some of the spare wheel well which put me off.
Decent prices there though and they only charge £20 + VAT per hour for labour which is really good
