So far I've only had time to swap over the interior for my Team Honda Sports seats, and Honda Access mats.




And this is how she stands at the moment



The wheels are off, ready to be replaced with my recently refurbed Pentas, and i'm also planning on swapping the suspension for my Honda Access shocks and Tein lowering springs. Once this is done, I'll be looking for a suitable replacement engine, and will most probably swap the gearbox for my M2T4 LSD tranny I'm really looking forward to getting her back on the road, but I just need to get a bit of time off work now

Here's a pic I took the day the Lude came into my possession, thought it was pretty cool


I haven't got any major plans as its already spec'd to my liking, but I will be making a few updates over the next few months

So what's happening with your JDM one?? Breaking it and putting the parts in Salazar's one??

Looks really nice mate

No dude, everything I have on my SiR is already on the new Lude, even down to the ATR clutch and XTD flywheel combo I will be selling off a few bits to fund the engine transplant, but i'll be replacing them with standard OEM parts. It will then be sold as a bog standard SiR lude for cheap

It really is a credit to it's former owner. I'm glad to have the opportunity to get her back on the road

Congratulations Dave, the car looks great!
