eg. my initial settings were as far out as one front wheel had negative camber and the other front wheel had positive camber. The car naturally was pulling to the left and would eventually wear the tyres, but it wasn't noticable originally.

The result is that the car holds the road better, reducing understeer and oversteer hence the name "Fast Road Geometry Set-up"

sounds like a good upgrade or even fix...wonder if I could get this done in sweden if I bought the parts myself

[ctrdaveg]

I think ABP might post them out but i think you'll need to get a garage that has the proper equipment. Good luck

Its not altered it by much due to the fact that i'm female and already had a cracking deal at 23, 0 no claims and £507. Had to pay an additional £15 for the moment, got a quote for renewal and its not really impacting me going forward as i'm still building my no claims and the price of insurance is still going down.

Factors are, car doesn't really move too much but when it does its a long trip like Monday, I don't use it to and from work. Now 4000 miles in 8 months

Also is this change something i would need to tell my insurance?

Cheers

FRS isn't something that you have to tell the insurance about as your basically amending the car to the specification it should have been in the first place! When you get the readings its quite awful that Honda have min and max specifications but send cars out which are over their recommendations and it can't be altered

I travelled all the way from the other side of Edinburgh and it was originally going to be just for the FRS....It takes a bit of time but its worth the trip

[ctrdaveg]

Great Ang,
I haven't had any change on my insurance. They said that the FRS is not classed as a Modification. The exhaust will add about £30 quid onto my insurance so i'll be getting it done later in the year after the holidays are out of the way.

Insurance currently £405 a year with esure

Yeah the FRS isn't classed as a mod (and we're paying to fix something that shouldn't have been like that in the first place) but the splitters and the exhaust caused the wee rise at the moment.

You really need to send a PM to ABP Motorsport and they should reply to you personally. Hope you get the answer you're looking for

Best advice there, they do ship things out to folk (I saw them do this while I was there) so it will just have to be a wait and see thing.

I was considering the decat for the car but I just can't be bothered with the removal before its MOT. My mate has suggested that if fitted take back to ABP for its MOT and get them to remove then refit the decat pipe.

Dave, whats the deal with the decat pipe with regards to fitting, removal, mot etc?

Oh and how cute is that little text message you guys send the following day

[ctrdaveg]

It's called "great customer service".or "pride in the Job"

Alot more garages and dealers need to learn from them.
Keep up the good work ABP......

Totally, totally agree. Got a quote from Dave for what I was after...........I can feel yet another trip coming on

Oh and i've promised Dave that i'll take a coffee off him this time.

[Mr JP]

Right, I want this done! my dad is a technician and has the machine to realign cambers and steering geometry etc.

So what parts exactly are needed if any? My dad thinks this is alot of money. Are the original Camber bolts adjustable?

Also where can the manufactuers suggested settings be found???

Firstly its not a lot of money as its not a quick job really. The original camber bolts are not adjustable hence why you need them at £35 a pair.

The whole thing takes time because it has to be set up front and rear, the original settings reading taken so they know what to adjust and by how much. They then have to remove the front wheels, take out the old camber bolts, fit the new ones, adjust them, do the tracking, alignment, toe check the readings, road test it then give you back your car in a much better state than when you took it to them.

[Mr JP]

thanks angie, have you still got your print outs of readings etc and the set up they use?

Yes. I only had it done almost 2 weeks ago. However I really liked the guys at ABP and I am visiting them again soon (thats if Dave got my e-mail) and I don't really want to p*ss them off by giving out info that they probably wouldn't thank me for.

[Mr JP]

I'm only trying to find out Honda's original settings, not the fast road set up one developed by ABP!

Pleeeaaaaase

Brakes! Had a good look at the brakes and other than the caliper being badged Type R and being relocated to the front of the wheel as opposed to the EP3 being at the rear the discs & pads are the same as the early car. Tried to fit a StopTech 4-pot kit but no joy - The floating disc is hard against the ball joint so no 4-pot kits for now......... We then trial fitted the PowerSlot 350mm front big-disc conversion kit and this fits great (with a little mod or 2) and fills the 18" wheel really well. If you have the 19" rages you need this kit to stop your brakes looking so ridiculously small! The kit not only looks great but being 50mm larger in diameter and grooved offers far better braking ability with improved cooling and reduced brake fade which can be an issue on sustained hard fast-road use. Not anymore . The brakes are now far better even using the standard Honda pads. We will be trying some pad options over the next few weeks and will keep you all posted.
PowerSlot front 350mm big-disc brake conversion kit (includes pair of 350mm grooved discs, caliper relocation brackets and fitting kit) is £375 inc vat with an additional £90 fitting charge if required.


1) Milltek Sport ABP stainless steel cat back exhaust system - Non-resonated centre section, discreet tailpipes within the original triangular bumper trim £495.00 inc vat

2) Milltek Sport ABP stainless steel cat back exhaust system - Non-resonated centre section, 90mm Polished Round tailpipes requiring the removal of original triangular bumper trim £545.00 inc vat

4) Milltek Sport ABP stainless steel cat back exhaust system - Resonated centre section, 90mm Polished Round tailpipes requiring the removal of original triangular bumper trim £620.00 inc vat

These systems are 100% exclusive to ABP Motorsport and will not be available from either Milltek Sport or any other Milltek Sport dealers.

We are taking advance orders and the initial batch of 10 systems will be available to us before the end of August. These will sell out quickly but Milltek insist on ititial production runs of only 10 units. Our next batch of systems (probably 30+) will not be through until late September .

We are ordering 8 Non-resonated 'discreet' systems and 2 90mm Round systems so if you want them call and place your orders on 01270 567177 ASAP to avoid missing out.

Standard:

212.7 BHP @ 7625rpm

152.5 lb/ft @ 6065rpm
ABP Milltek Sports cat-back system fitted and here are the results:

219.5 BHP @ 7596rpm

[Mr JP]

Has anyone noticed power gains when driving?

Is there a group buy yet?

cheers
