this is an owners club where we share info and tips etc... :rolleyes:
 
ITR box is a good mod, but muchos cash :(

I've been in a ITR with a 4.9 final drive, tops out at 120, but boy does it get there bloody quickly :eek:

Sorry, AEM CAI, I just wanted the car more drivable, not bothered about having X amount of bhp, the only curves I wanted were the ones where my lips curve up at each end when driving :D

EK9 Cams, same as 98/UK spec ITR.

I want a teg :(

depends, if its a full system(manifold back), and a decent one, plus the filter it wont be far off

yeah i could see that being right, but he was talking about just a cat-back system and filter.
 
A lad round here buys and sells cars, and picked up a EG6 with an ITRc box in it.

Said it was quicker to 100mph than his old GTO TT, He sold it for £2300. It's blue, you might see it on the honda club.
