Thanks for heads up.wurlycorner wrote:Just to pick up on the heat wrap thing...
Since fitting the Fuji header to my bb4, I hate how hot the bonnet and all the ancillaries around it get - it definitely needs heat wrapping imo...
I'm currently waiting for heat wrap to arrive.
Re: rrobis's IVgen
Heat wrap got lost somewhere in mail between UK and Latvia, so header is still pending.
Meanwhile got materials for gasket fabrication:
Header gasket is now ready and also did a refresh on pillars upholstery, since the fabric had lost it's colour over years.
Nice and fresh alcantara style:

Re: rrobis's IVgen
Did some knitting today together with wifey.
Decided not to wrap downpipe because of road "quality" and speed bumps no to tear bottom part up on the road

I need to do this. Putting it off 'cause it looks like a PITA.
But it is not a walk in the park indeed.
Since i did it for the first time, a couple lessons were learned
Re: rrobis's IVgen
Got the Tanabe header and Greddy Evo 2 catback installed. Really like the sound and as of butt dyno, seems to breathe and go better as well.
At least VTEC kicks in stronger. Very pleased.
I faced another silly issue though - wanted to go for a last spin before putting lude away for winter together with missus and 1mo son and couldn't fit the baby seat in the back of my 4th gen. Reason being - seat belt is just too short. Plenty of room, but couldn't lock the seat in.
Now, I hear there are no such issues in 5th gen. Could it be that the seat belts are longer in 5th? If so I probably should be starting to think about swapping them in from another Honda..
Car seat for reference ( very similar from the same manufacturer):
