£230 is a bargain. I would happily give that for just the manifold. Did you just see them on the site or request them specifically?

No bother chap. They are a pain in the butt for not updating the site but I often call and ask see what they have in. They reckon to have broke 3 S15's last month. If I come across anything like Tomei headers I will let you know. Not working gives me the chance to trawl the tinternet for bit's n bobs.

What type of heat rap did you use? I keep toying with the idea of doing it to my manifold and down pipe, as I am running a top mount setup.

Well the Vi-Pec ECU fitting went perfectly, started right up and sat at a perfect idle instantly. Martyn (Enginetuner.co.uk) mapped it to sit at 240bhp 238lbft torque until my tasty parts arrive from around the globe, Pointless chasing a power figure until its all fitted.
And my clutch is slipping like mad I have now found out, more apparent since the remap. The ECU has a internal 7bar map sensor and routing a hose through the bulkhead was the most challenging part if the fitting. The laptop connected right up using the supplied USB cable, and the downloaded Vi-pec software. This in my opinion is the way to go rather than Apexi FC etc. great customer support and a great quality product that works.. My car will be on the Enginetuner stand at Japfest as Martyn will be taking it up while I get a tan in Greece. so if you are there call over and have a chat to him about it and what he can do for you.. Small ugly bloke you wont mistake him.. Hopefully by then all my bits will be fitted and she will be kicking a bit more power out, with the help of the Nismo Super Coppermix clutch too...

I also will be fitting this wideband AFM , http://www.ngk.com/afx/ as this connects right up to the Vi-pec, so not only do you get a dash display it also data logs in the ECU too. Recommended by Vi-pec to use with their products. It's coming along steady but showing the potential results I want.

My RS-R coilies are now fitted and she sits a little lower now looking sweet..so buy my Tein Super Streets you know it's right.. Also got the R33 rear brake conversion done with K-Sport 4pot callipers. So they look sweet with K-Sport 8 pots up front. looking good and stopping better..

The new wheels, J9x17" I have to roll the rear arches a little but I love them.. I may have the centres repainted in gunmetal grey, not sure yet.. What do you think?

Yea going to go to the painters and have a look at some colour chips, see what may be a good choice. I was thinking of the same bronze that my gram lights were. Trying to get it sorted for Japfest..

They look good as they are, if I'm honest, but darker shade wheels always suit grey cars much better.

Yea I was maybe going to use the exact colour of the car, but worried that it might look a bit cheesy.
