Stainless Steel Exhaust - Cat back

[PatrickDorrian]

Finally done it. It sounds lovely, not too much noise and what noise there is mixes well with the induction kit. Don't know what to do with it now, probably just drive it for a while.

£280 from Powerflow. Place that fitted it was up near Doncaster, utterly friendly and fun to watch how they build it all up. If i can get it up on a ramp whilst it's still clean i'll get some proper underbodyshots.

I heard you can fit accord disks and calipers to an HR-V - i definitely think the front brakes are poor if you use them more than twice heavily.

[etc]

stylish :)

[PatrickDorrian]

Told you i wasn't going for one of those 5" bean can things ;-) I'd have liked quad pipes, we discussed it but it would cost me £450 and i'm just not quite crazy enough lol

[mrtn]

if these were twin pipes they'd look like elvis' sunglasses :D

[PatrickDorrian]

Heh cheeky :-) We never see the back of yours, are you sure you haven't just bought the front end of a HR-V and have it in your garden as a playtoy ;)

hehe.

watch the video, it shows everyhting!

[PatrickDorrian]

lol and there was me thinking you only owned 25% of an HRV :D

I had a look at that wmv file of what looked like an HRV doing a grand job of making an alfa look a bit silly, quite amusing :)

I did much the same thing to a 2.0l vectra sport on saturday night. going up a dual carriage way slip road to a roundabout - 70 up the slip and nearly the same around the roundabout. We'd started out at the start of the dual carriage way and he wasn't impressed that i'd out acclerated him up to 100mph and then kept in front until we came off the dual carriage way together.

I love my honda =8*)

Good photo skills..


But i think the Australian version of the HRV has a better dash board. Its much more "user friendly"!!!!!

the blue dash is from a pre-facelift (pre 2002) HR-V

[Team GOOOSH]

yes true, but have a closer look, i think you'll find it aint standard honda.

[mrtn]

haha okay, looks like the girlie dash posted here a long while ago :D

[PatrickDorrian]

Heh but mines girly blue too ;)

[mrtn]

nonono, i mean the one where all the readings were replaced by "too fast", "omg!" etc.

[PatrickDorrian]

What's too fast ;) I know - 105.4 as the speeding ticket says :-) I'm just glad they only stopped me as i was slowing down from what i'd been doing previously.

Happy to report that if you flog it to 103 in 4th and then stick it in 5th .. it will go ... and go ... and go until terminal velocity which is off the speedo and 7100 rpm :-)

I'd be guessing about 125mph ish. There's definitely more power with the exhaust and induction kit and that ecotek valve has improved low end pickup a bit.

Fuel economy is still awful though :-)

Had a test flight in a nissan 300 and i think i've fallen in love!

[Team GOOOSH]

What do you mean "fuel economy is awfull"...... /

What are you doing? Mines got full sports exhaust and cat and custome extractors. I drive it like hell and return at worst 600ks per tank!

Mines a manual.

[PatrickDorrian]

145 miles on £48 of petrol is what i'd consider "awful" if always great fun.

[Dick_Dastardly]

I've just spent 150 quid on fuel in one day !!!!!!

Although it was doing 103 in 4th it wouldn't have done it in 5th as I had 3 sets of ladders on the roof, and I needed all the hp i could generate at that point.

As I was getting about 110hp at those revs, taking it to 5th would have dropped power to about 90 ish and i would have fallen back.

Remember the Honda motto..... Revs = Power

[PatrickDorrian]

Yours isn't the VTEC is it ... i'd quite like to have a go in a non vtec HRV to see what, if any differences there are in power etc.

[Dick_Dastardly]

No ! But it's a Rev2. . . Lower ride, stiffer suspension, and a whole bag of tweaks.....

I have been in a rev 1......it felt like a diferent machine.

[PatrickDorrian]

If you're ever over east yorkshire way give me a shout and we'll do some road testing ;)
