A Milano red lude that looks red?

What's the power output with the cams & remap?

By the dyno meter he gave me its around 210 bhp. But have to put it on a dyno myself to be sure.

As others have said, that one has some nice upgrades, that's for sure! 5th gens in Milano are rare, too.
Red paint with red interior is a bit too much for me tbh, but it's certainly different and the car looks in good nick!

Yes i wasnt really sure about the red interior a well, might put a bit of black in there but for now im keeping it as it is.

I'd have expected more than that? It does depend on the dyno as well though, of course...

Hi guys thought ill give you and update on my Ruby. Shes booked to put on some lowering springs and shocks start of Arpil and probably brake pads. Ive also had a coolant dripping below the water pump and after a lot of searching on the internet it appears was a snapped o-ring on the pump itself. So today after 3 hours of taking stuff apart i manage to changed them but saw that my intake manifold gasket is bad

And now im waiting for a new one. Do i need to know something specific about changing it or its in case of just replacing the old one?

Hiya!
Nice 5th! Very red indeed!

Waterpump happens.. Good job fixing it!
Intake is easy enough but make sure you remove all the of the old gasket and clean the head and intake where the nee gasket will sit.
Don't let dirt get into the intake port.

Did you order a oem gasket of a hondata/ heatblocking gasket?

If you take off your manifold anyway , think about giving it a good clean 2 including your ivac .
Also blocking your EGR port and putting a catchcan between the breather hoses is a nice and easy mod you can do so the intake won't get dirty as much .

Goodluck

Yes shes probably a bit too red

i ordered the gasket from Lings so i guess should be ok. The catch can is on the "to do" list but probably later in the summer along with some other bits.

Thanks for the info

The interior would be better without the red carpet imo.

These look really nice in red!

Maybe 210 is whp?

I manage to put that in today

Leather change was ok but the gear knob was pain in the ***. The previous owner had glued it with Loctite and had to cut it off

Anyway it looks much better now and quite please with it
