I'm also a big fan of the mid-rise...anyone throwing one out?!

Good luck finding it for a decent price.. Some on USA but prices start at $300 without delivery.

I got mine locally with a Type-S badged trunk lid for $299 Canadian...ooor about 180 pounds

Glad to see you have a profile up

Brave man getting pics of the missus up Although she is pretty hot so maybe not so risky after all

Coming along to the Dyno day? would be good to have a starting figure before all the mods

Not sticking the car on but think ill tag along

Its the perfect time to set a base line before you do those engine mods

I know it's runnin like jobby just now though hence the rebuild so would be a waste sticking it on I think

Does anyone know if the ATR calipers are a straight swap on these ?
and does anyone know of any projector headlights about ?
going to finish off the red wheels next week and hopefully get some decent rubber on them and on the car before the snow and ice hits. good winter tyres ?
Calipers are painted.....thinking on spraying the bonnet myself ? what du guys think.....i did do a bit of airbrushing before and i do have a compressor set up.

Hoping to get my ATR front brake set up on in the next week once the carriers arrive and my locking nut key. Once they're on its onto the big stuff. Got a thread up for wind deflectors it anyone has any OEM ones ....whats the thoughts on these sunroof deflectors never seen one in person ?

calipers are straight forward swap. You can use them with prelude cariers and discs or acc cariers and discs.

Personally I wouldnt go for acc setup if you have standard rear brakes. I tried this on my 4gen and it was a lot worse braking then before. After rear brakes upgrade it shows it's potential.

The back brakes are getting done soon aswell the discs are shot
The front discs are showing stress marks so going for the full change to use the ATR discs aswell.

Wee update now fitted my yellow headlight bulbs which are actually pretty decent
And finally got round to sorting out the fogs with a wee wiring trick their back up and running as they should and have been wrapped in yellow film
A full new set of red muteki locking wheel nuts have also arrived so these will be going on when I get the brakes done
Will get pics up soon

Any suggestions on good all round tyres ? since im sticking the teg alloys on once theyre finished and they need new rubber all round. 205/50/R16....baring in mind it does rain a lot here so parada spec 2s for instance are out.
