Hello guys

Cheers Andrew from the outer island lol

You're putting a Mivec into a 2nd gen body? How? The engines are opposite orientations, or are you playing with the engine mounts etc?

Other than that - give us a call at RPW got all the options on twin piston calipers with stock rotors / or larger 294mm rotors for the vehicle.

One more won't make a difference :D. How long have you owned it for?

I'm actually keen to head over there for a while.

Dunno. I'm not so sure how picky they get but if there's compliancing involved, I guess so. Got a pic of the car yet? :D
