shame mate :( good time to uprate it though :mrgreen:

whats the thing with the tilted Numberplate then? is it to offer a smaller wind resistance or something? or to offer a harder angle for Five-0 to photograph :twisted:

Tiny update :D

Clutch problem was faulty master cylinder. Now fixed so back on the road. However, i have acquired an Accord Type-R clutch and CC lightened flywheel :twisted:

Will add to the list of parts gathering dust in the loft (Tanabe manifold, decat, Work Meister S2R's, Apexi VAFC)

Next up is some Hawk HP+ pads and Hawk discs :twisted:

The only mod i can afford right now was this: Tegiwa shift extender. Thanks for looking :D

Nice care mate what's the shift extender like to use is it better or do you keep grabbing the shaft (could of worded that different but had to be done) :lol:

Thanks all :D

As for the shift extender, it is kinda hard to "relax" with it as you can't rest your arm on the centre arm rest but to be honest, after driving an auto for so long i am just enjoying swapping the cogs myself.

But when you are pushing-on, it feels kinda race car-ish :twisted:

Small update:

After being off the road for 6 weeks with sticking calipers, i finally got the car back today :twisted:

New rear disks, calipers & pads all fitted!

Fairly missed VTEC, in fact i missed it so much that i have been avoiding this place as well :lol:

Next up: front brakes to get the same treatment :D

How much are you paying for Hawk discs? EBC/Brembo/etc blanks are up to the job. Good to hear its back on the road.
