No striping for now, red to go on when I can get the proper thing.

I think it looks really cool without the striping. 8)



Glad to see you got a radiator, should look really good, way better than that half size one you were going to you use.

You won't have to worry about overheating either, I've only ever had my fan come on once since fitting my Koyo.

Today I went to DNR HQ. It pissed it down all day none stop!

Fitted the dual core radiator after a bit of persuading and sorted the camber/toe out.

Then we went out for a little mapping session, boy did it go well :twisted:

Car feels so smooth now delivering its power, has much more grunt now aswell IMO.

Less popping and banging now and exhaust tone has changed quite considerably. Sounds friggin' awesome. VTEC changeover is proper sweet and smooth. VTEC comes in at 5500 and revs out to 8500.

BIG THANKS TO DAZ AND MILLSY EVERYTHING. DNR FTW! :drivegear:

A very happy customer.

p.s. should have some more pictures soon and maybe a vid or 2 aswell. :wink:

Bet it sounds great, I can't wait for mine to sound great again. Popping and banging sounds like mine before I got her set up properly, everytime you changed gear in VTEC it let out a window shattering bang and a flame sometimes too, was fun but just not right.

Sounds great, do it. :)

I'd like to say I'm not Jealous, but if I did I would be lying.


Very Cool parts, make sure to get a few photos when you get then installed (you probably would anyway) as I will likely be getting them at some stage.
