Hey!!! :bat:

That's ornaments... buster!

Have to admit though, this S-Spec certainly deserves to be top of the list 8-)

Some great work there. Sometime I wish I had the patience for this kind of maintenance ;)
Cheers Nathan.

Watch this space, Tein Street Flex Coilovers on order...

Got my new exhaust fitted, any one who has read or contributed to the thread where I asked for recommendations will probably know I went for a custom 2.5" cat back from Demand Engineering, it is really well made and I am very happy with the sound.

Not a bad job to be fair, the rears are a PITA to get out as we know but after a bit of wiggling and swearing they were free. I changed the radius rod bushes at the front whilst I was doing the job too because they had a tiny creak. To be fair greasing them probably would have fixed the but once I'd gone to the effort of getting the rod off I just changed them for new Honda ones.

The handling is mega on these coilovers. Prelude is still not a low speed checkable car but at any medium and fast corners it just eats the road up. I am currently messing up the damping settings so if anyone has any tips...!

Looking good 8-)

Being an S-Spec, did it not have Honda Access suspension anyway?

Thanks everyone, it's coming along nicely. I noticed a split in one of the steering rack dust boots so changed that at the weekend ready for it's alignment on Tuesday.

Not this one, from my research that appeared to be a factory option as not all of them come with it. On the off chance someone had previously had coilovers or something on mine then swapped them back to standard Prelude ones before selling I checked on the Honda EPC. My chassis number clearly brings the car up as an SiR S Spec but the part number for my shocks and springs was the standard ones. Boring bit of info there!

For me lowering it has transformed the look, I should have done it sooner.
