I really fancy getting custom header ive already emailed solid fab about prices but still awaiting reply.

as a side note I want to wipe the smirk off my mates face with his ek6 sir hahahaha,

but most importantly enjoy the project and seeing the series of changes happen over the year. ive only ever owned two cars and they are both PRELUDES! :D

go see Al @ Solidfab for a FULL custom exhaust system. expect it to set you back £900 but it's cheap considering what others charge and his workmanship is excellent

Don't worry about 4WS. Mine passed MOT with 4WS not working and dashboard light on without any advisory on it

I think somebody wrote on different topic that ABS or SRS is straight fail, but law doesn't say anything about 4WS. Mine is on since I bought my car and passed 3 MOTs with no issues

Yeah well glad got srs reset! How easy is it to get new front steering angle sensor? My mechanic said he wouldn't go near fixing it cos he has never worked on 4ws car before lol.
