It'll never be a Lude though
by exhaust do you mean Cat back or including the manifold?

Exhaust and manifold really for best results. ATR manifold is ok as far as it goes but if you want the best results you need to junk it

i guessed you were going to say that

cheers for the info guys!

Even from the rear I prefer the Euro R.

what are they like? getting rather close to owning one!

We've got one. Real world performance is pretty similar to our Lude. As in, time to get from A to B in ordinary conditions. As others have said, the later vtec cut-in can take a bit of getting used to and you have to be really trying to keep it on cam through the gears.

Please don't fit lpg! Economy is similar to our 5G Lude's, with a range of approx 11mpg (track) to 32+ (motorways).

The Recaros are comfy once you've adjusted them to how you want them. The visibility is average.
Ours is lowered a little bit and can be jittery on some roads, with a bit of bump steer, but you soon get used to it.

Overall, the ATR feels more machine-like than our Prelude. It's versatile: a good tourer one day, a commuter the next, plus some involving stuff squeezed in here and there. We love it. We've had it for a year and a half now and haven't regretted it.

Sailor, don't say that on the ATR forum. You will be banned.

Must admit, the Recaros are great seats. When I drove from Swindon to Ballycastle, apart from the Ferry break, I did the journey in one sitting, stopping only for petrol or a body lemonade. When I got there, I felt great, and I do suffer aches pains these days.

Nearly bought this beauty to replace the S

Was immaculate, handled beautifully, didn't have the much "loved", but, ridiculous spoiler

and sounded great!

There were only 2 things that stopped me. It was gloriously snarly, but would have been too annoying on the motorway! That and the rarity value of my Lude
