    Give Icetronix a call and get an AEM V2, sounds and looks amazing.

    Liking the coupe man fair play, how does it feel compare to the colt?

    You know not many induction kits will match a modded OEM intake with a drop in and a cold air feed, plus it costs very little.

    If you were to change, Js racing seem to come out on top with the honda heads, not sure if there is one for your car, its a SOHC yeah? Id have to go against what tenzo said alot of people over here hate the AEMs not saying they are bad they just dont suit our weather and tend to take in alot of water.

    Have you any plans for the car??

    I would go K&N they have been around a very long time, and there induction kits I would rate above almost all others.

    They are more expensive than most but worth it, I have the typhoon in my 1.8 focus and it works well in my personal opinion. Sounds great. I am not sure if it adds anymore power maybe a little, but the change in engine sound is the best.

    I have heard many others but to me this is the better one.

    cheers for the info lads... just want to make sure i get the right one for the car.. was looking at the ones on icetronix alright, gonna take a spin over there one of the days..

    the civics a bit of a step up from the colt alright:D nice bit of power and not to heavy on juice, handles great aswell...

    as for plans, not sure yet.. definatly getting it de-badged.. not into boyracer look. wanna keep it nice and clean,no stickers or argos exhausts for this one! any suggestions?

    thanks again

    Is it a vti?Dont bother with an AEM,yes they sound good but wait for the massive flatspot you'll get from it,ive seen them loose power on dyno results,best bet by far on a honda is drop in panel filter and remove the resonator box and run a cold air feed from the bumper,1hr's work and a better result than an aem
