    remove Cat

    Ah. And if it's this 'other' box that's rattling, are there any problems with just replacing that with pipe? Presuming in that case its just some sort of silencer

    remove Cat

    oh well.. somehow i thought that would be the answer lol .. worth a try eh while I was under there I bashed that middle box and it rattles like theres something loose inside. grabbed and yanked various things around it, nothing seems loose.. the engine does kinda sound like it's blowing a bit...

    remove Cat

    I have a rattly middle exhaust box (definitely not a loose shield) and I ***umed this is a cat Maybea a silly question but can I just replace that with a section of tube? How would that affect emissions and the running of the engine?

    Want to buy F20B6 engine for rebuild

    side bar, I do a lot of CAD work for fun, trying to get into that as a work thing, will eventually, hopefully but anyway, I was planning a full spaceframe to fit under a mini body (OK, wouldn't be a mini at all when done, to be fair) red top up front, driven at the back, double wishbones, etc...

    Want to buy F20B6 engine for rebuild

    I was going to add, the mini sort of has double wishbones on the front. admitedly, not at the back though, just trailing arms there.. true though that is fairly uncommon, at least with cars I've had, usually just a wishbone at the bottom and a mcpherson strut. even on the 'nicer' cars like...

    I do love this page, discussing that on facebook would just end up with 6million people all slagging me off lol on here all you get is informed opinions.. how refreshing lol no, actually my knowledge of honda really is limited I won't deny that for a second, and you've given me interesting...

    Want to buy F20B6 engine for rebuild

    Final thought, I've been to a goodly number of race days at various tracks, they often have little stock car races in between the open wheel stuff and funnily enough, hand on heart, I've never seen a single accord or integra on a track, ever, it's just golfs, fiestas and maybe a civic (but even...

    and one of my more favoured quotes, famously Mr Ferrari himself once said 'If the mini wasn't so ugly, I'd shoot myself' i.e. the creator of the pinnacle of sports car technology was so astounded by the mini power and handling, that he would be very worried if they looked nice enough to compete...

    Want to buy F20B6 engine for rebuild

    see Im not so convinced about that, either lol .. to be fair I've not actually owned either, but Accords/Integras are quite big cars, no matter what suspension you put on them they're gonna sway around a bit arent they (or be back-breakingly rigid), whereas with the right diff, even on the...

    seat heaters

    For some reason I can't find the search function (using phone) so apologies if this has already been discussed somewhere.. Quite simply, has anyone here ever replaced a dud seat heater, how much effort is involved in taking the seat apart (mine are leathers if that makes a difference) and...

    Want to buy F20B6 engine for rebuild

    Ok you make an interesting addition to the debate there.. I would ask how much racing history was made by it, and point out that the mini has it well trumped in numbers of production;) plus the mini is British which also means major bonus points as far as in concerned, that and the landrover...

    Want to buy F20B6 engine for rebuild

    Just wanted to quickly interject and say at no point did I suggest an atr is just a tarted up accord with nice wheels lol I'm quite aware that the engine is different.. I just meant if I can find some type r bumpers and wheels it would be a nice addition. But I'd never badge it as an R...

    Want to buy F20B6 engine for rebuild

    what is ATR, Ive seen that before and wondered.. presume you are referring to the pistonheads link? out of my budget anyway, but did wonder if it'd be worth that much. they do have a nice bit of trim, bumpers etc, with those slightly different headlights and all that.. might have to pay a...

    Want to buy F20B6 engine for rebuild

    i wonder if it's worth doing something like using the 1.8 as the mileage is better, but putting on the head from my 2.0 because the cam is larier? get a bit of extra power at least any parts like that interchangeable, or not worth going down that route?

    Want to buy F20B6 engine for rebuild

    Mr Honda, I wish I had the readies for it, I really do.. interesting to note that seller is looking to get into a bit of vauxhall power instead lol that age old argument, Vtec or Redtop honestly? red top please. but mainly because of the awesome noise it makes (my mate has one in his mini...
