Really? Awesome. I looked at one for sale many moons ago and it wasn't that expensive. I'd imagine that isn't the case now?
And no rust... They made of plastic?  was it your one at crapfest per chance? |

Yep, that was my tatty daily 
They never seem to get that cheap but a really good one is a lot cheaper than a really good cappo.
As for the rust, they have one structural weak point at the back of the sills which can start to go if the drain holes from the hood aren't cleaned out, but aside from that they seem to stay pretty solid. |

| awesome. I certainly wouldn't mind one as a daily. Arches are prone to a bit of bubble like every other car aswell I guess? You'll have to take me out in the beat some time, I'd like to see what they're like |

| if your local (s bristol) your more than welcome to come round and have a play yourself. no where near the power of the cappo, the're N/A, but like I tell everyone who's driven it "the red line isn't a warning, it's a target!" - drive them like that and the're great fun |

yep ITB's or MTRS (Multi Throttle Response System) as Mr Honda likes to call it
Your more than welcome to come up and have a play, I'm actually about 10 miles south of Bristol so pretty close. I'll pm you the address.

I lied, it's actually MTRCS (Multi Throttle Response Control System) LoL - just checked the plate on the drivers sill
Pick a saturday I'm around for about 1/2 of them, we seem to be having a run of shows at the mo.
As an aside: It could be a good starting point for anyone wanting to fit ITB's on a cappo, the set are in a nice alloy casing (easily pressurised) and the port spacing looks to be about the same. |

I'll bare that in mind, because I absolutely hate the intake manifold & it's many vacuum pipes on the Cappo! It won't be for Atleast a month then buddy, as I do 4 on 4 off shifts, and this Saturday is my last one off for 4 weeks 
As a side note, with relevance to the intake manifold, is there anyone that makes custom manifolds for the F6a? I can't stand all the spaghetti in my engine bay! |
