Skunk 2 is beautifully tuned. Loud on full throttle/vtec, but quite at idle and on a cruise.

Fap me the exhaust is loud. Its decatted as well as for some reason it didnt seem to fit. Has anyone had any unwanted attention with a SS exhaust from the police?

Also the springs went in but the doesnt look as if its lowered. It just feels abit more stiff.

Pics to follow and next month the clutch and lsd box are going in
Congratulations on the recent mods and the cars progress.
Looking good.

I did see these springs for sale but I wasn't sure if they were genuine or just painted stock springs cause they did not lower the car atall.
I bet the skunk2 exhaust sounds great at high revs!

So...

As it has been a while since I have updated this thread I am proud to say that the LSD box purchased from @drax has finally gone into the car.

The last few months have been agonising as I just wanted to have the bits I brought put into the car.

The lude is now proudly wearing:
1.) A set of Tanabe lowering springs.
2.) A decatted Skunk 2 megapower exhaust.
3.) A M2B4 LSD transmission.

I can wait to get the car tonight and drive it home. I'm hoping to see a big difference in handling.

I will get some pics up as soon as the car is washed. As it stands its as dirty as hell lol.

Next year I will look into the other mods im after.

I can say I am one happy prelude motorist at the moment.

Actually come to think of it do I need to drive like a human until all the bearing etc are lubricated or can I thrape the sh1t out of the car to see how good the LSD is?

New ATR clutch has gone in too. Happy days!!
