Yeah cheers Nafe I still haven't actually seen mine fitted yet but I've spoke to who's fitting them and they haven't mentioned this so a bit confused

Danny I am sure you will be fine. There was guys in the FB Honda Prelude Racing Group who say they didn't have issue either. It must be my rear mount or its batch.

I think the combination of the traction bar and radius rods are heavier than the OEM bits they are replacing. The radius rods are meaty bits of metal

The car is almost back together in preparation for JapFest @ Knockhill in just over a weeks time. The suspension stuff has been installed and it is getting a wheel alignment next week to get up the adjustablr radius rods, the rear engine mount has been re-drilled, I snapped a stud on my Fujitsubo's downpipe which is being drilled out, and 3rd Gen Steve got a guy he knows to make me a new gasket for the Fujitsubo.

When I put the engine in the original gasket on the Fujitsubo was shot so I got some gasket material off Ebay and 3rd Gen Steve fashioned a new gasket. That gasket lasted less than 1000 miles before it was spent so we needed something more durable. 3rd Gen Steve got his mate to make me a custom gasket from tempered aluminium and I/we are really happy with the result:

I need a replacement gasket for the FGK header too - was about to post up asking where to get one from!

Have you tried fitting it yet? Is it all good? Without exhaust paste?

If so, can I have one as well please Steve?

Ive already mentioned to the guy there may be some more people interested, he seemed open to the idea of mass production so if this one works then im sure we can sort something out.

I'll give it the "race test" and see if it holds up. Hopefully since it is tempered it will smush a little once it is on tight. TBH exhaust paste wont be up to the job and will burn off pretty quickly.

We might be able to get some made, I can easily take my exhaust manifold off for a future template.
