I've done the void on the diff carrier, plus group n mounts on the engine and gearbox, but I don't want refined.

I had the void filling PU whiteline parts fitted early on in my hatch's life ( one side only, apparently to avoid excess NVH ) and found them maybe NOT hard enough and maybe both should have been done.

Subframe bushes done too, and lateral links. And all front wishbone etc with powerflex black.

Thanks Lockheed and Paul. I may be able to grip the stump with mole grips or bite into it with electrical side snips, and I'll get some heat on it. There isn't enough for Stilton unfortunately. Life under the car isn't so easy since those busted vertebrae!

Loads of seat covers on eBay. I did have some in mind for mine which were more of a genuine product but i discounted them on cost in the end and on a quick look i can't find the link.

Maybe these https://www.capitalseating.co.uk/protective-seat-covers

The recaros are a variation of the Recaro SR seat so these covers would be a better fit

Capital have come back and suggested this, https://www.capitalseating.co.uk/sub...ive-seat-cover

However I think the suggestion Gambit gave is much more like it.

I got mine from capital seating, unfortunately I can't find the invoice but I believe they are the ones for the Civic Type R FN2/FD2. The Recaro SR one didn't fit as well.

I've managed to achieve (if that's considered an achievement!) 9.1 km/lt (equivalent of 26 mpg) on the trip computer on a 260-mile roundtrip. Speeds for most part of the journey were around 100-130 km/h. The low fuel warning light came on at 488 km from brimming the car, not bad I think!
A couple of photos from a mid journey coffee pit stop, the Fusso99 synthetic wax is fantastic!

I can confirm, though I bought one that had Recaro and (something honda related but I removed the stitching) and it was thick canvas type material with felt backing. Excuse the crap pics, they were from trial fitting so still a bit creased from being packaged up.




Can't for the life of me remember where I bought it.
this may be where . . .
