Civic VTI - Replacement standard exhaust in Stainless28 Sep 2008 11:49 GMT14
I have got a 1997 Honda Civic VTI and find that each section of the

Latest versions of the Rover V-8 have the block casting modified to accept
a knock sensor (thanks Badger).
Anyone fitted one to an earlier engine and if so where and how? One type

Not the most productive day24 Sep 2008 08:36 GMT14
