2.5" should be perfectly fine for that sort of power. Strangely it's recommended to have a 3" system on a k20 conversion like my mates eg though

2.75" Invidia system with CPL race header. It's been mapped to this though and increasing exhaust to 3" seems to gain 20bhp on a charged car over 2.5" so I could potentially lose power going smaller.

Think I've finally sold the bonnet, getting a Milano pink one in px so will get that sprayed.

Nova was exceptionally clean and subtle, this car is certainly not subtle.

Finally got rid of the bonnet. Was meant to be swapping with a grey bonnet as the red one fell through. I would have to get sprayed but then at the last minute got offered a silver one that had recently been painted. Took a punt on the colour match and it doesn't seem to bad. Looks out in some lights but so does every other silver Civic on google images. Must be the difference in the angle between bonnet and wings and how the light hits it.







Seriously need to sort the rain coming under the garage door.

Supercharger £3k
Suspension £1.5k
Brakes £1.5k
Quaife, clutch, flywheel £1.5k
Mugen kit £6k inc paint
Exhaust and manifold £1.5k
Cams, oil pump etc £1.5k

Quite a few other bits and pieces.

All plus a few lots of mapping as more mods were added and all the labour as the guy did nothing himself. Soon adds up.
