Wasn't sure what to make of it the first time I first saw it but the more I did see it, the more I wanted it.


In other news, after searching high and low for Motegi sideskirts to complete the exterior, Lankysod saves the day yet again. Picked them on sunday evening and they're currently in the process of getting sprayed and fitted.

Excited to see the end result!

Hey guys, its been a while since I last posted. After getting a new job, the car has been driven mostly on weekends.

So i've decided not to fit the bonnet spoiler, after looking at pics of with and without, I think it looks cleaner without it.

The car has been at Hond-R for few days and has had the following done:

Cambelt
Waterpump
Kaizenspeed Manual Tensioner
Tensioner Bearings
Kaizenspeed Walk Blocker
NGK Platinum Spark Plugs
Magnecor Leads
Castrol Magnatec Oil
Hamp Oil Filter
Air Filter
Honda Transmission Fluid
Honda Coolant Premix
Valve clearance adjustment
Rebuilt rear calipers
Rear discs and pads
Front and rear drop links
Front Passanger side cv boot
501 bulbs for sidelights
LED cluster rear foglight and reverse light bulbs
SRS light reset
Rear sills welded (both sides) seal, waxoyl and treated
Steering rack Boot
Fit Motegi Skirts (turns out one side is genuine and the other is a fiber glass replica)

Been told that the subframe has some corrosion, and also the bushes will need replacing soon so will go back soon.

Few pics, will post up some better ones when I get a chance.

No way dude, seriously?

I can only apologise, I had no idea. They both come off the same lude and could see no difference. I didn't even question it to be fair.
They look great tho, all painted up and on the car mate!
Some decent work you've put in on the car to bring it up to spec!

Cheers bud, and no worries! I couldn't notice anything different and they were sitting in my room for half a year, I wouldn't have questioned it myself.

If one was fibre glass, there is no way neither of you wouldn't have noticed - the fibre glass one will have been thicker, heavier and much stiffer. Fact.
Great to see the progress on the car though, looking good 8-)
