Two steps back, one step forward...

So it turns out I can't fit my PS pump until the radiator is modified for the cold air feed. The other is that the base maps I've downloaded to the K-Pro make the car run like crap, I think my injectors are different and thus the fuel duty cycles are wrong for my injectors, I also don't think i've mentioned that my lambda sensor isn't working and need to check the wiring on the swap harness to see if thats the culprit. Maybe the guys over the pond forgot the Euro Civics ran a different lambda sensor thats wired up differently to the ECU..

Its not all bad as my front lip has arrived, its a bit bent but it gets pulled to the right shape once mounted. Its not fitted yet but here is a photo of it resting on the car, it is proper nice and made out of some form of really forgiving plastic so it won't break when I plough it into speed bumps 5 times a day... :lol:

I got my new (2nd hand) headlight through today but found out I was only missing a metal mounting clip and my original wasn't broken after all..! Refitted the original, with the new clip, and then moved onto fitting the splitter. It needs some tweaks to get it to fit flush but it looks pretty good :)

Cheers guys, I appreciate these things can be a bit like Marmite! The splitter is sooo low, it sits about 2" lower than the stock S splitter.. I have driven a few roads I drive daily and it hasn't ground out, so far so good. A bit of final fitting tomorrow and i'll be confident I can hit the motorway and it wont fall off!! :lol:
