    Brake Pedal Travel

    Was driving on an A road at speed and needed to slow down, however, the car did not slow down as it should and literally had to press the pedal till it would go no further. The car eventually slowed to a stop right up behind the car in front waiting at the round about. He must have thought I...

I...

    Brake Upgrade - Ideas and opinions please

    Hey guys, When I bought my Trophy a year ago the first thing I did was upgrade the brakes (to the little known CRN grooved discs and EBC RedStuff pads). I have to be honest they are actually very, very good (and I got them cheaper as they were part of a group buy in which my Good Lady also...

    Interior illuminated vanity mirror sunvisor mod ...

    Anyone else done this one ......... ?. I found the lack of a cover on the passenger side sun visor mirror distracting so fitted the 182 items that I purchased from eBay, all wiring connections are in the space behind the interior light. Very pleased with how they turned out :D

    Polished this Integra with Autoglym High Gloss polish (black label). Highly recommended at the price (both car and polish!) and made this car and the 330 Conv look superb. Recommended as a quick fix too - I don't have all day like some of you guys!
