Lude Generation

I brought my first lude in May 2004, It was black and automatic. In August 2004, the auto-box lost 2nd gear and replacement was going to be 600 to 1200 quid, I sold it at a loss of 400 quid which wasn't bad considering.

In Sep 2004 I brought my current lude, which at the time had stunning paintwork and chrome wheels. The first winter did not do any favours for the chrome wheels and I plan to have them refurbished in the next 2 weeks

lol. kawa rules

Fitted the mugen bumper in 2006, think it then took at about 18 months to get it painted

I have had a CDA air filter fitted since I brought the car in 2005. In 2006 I removed the black flexi hose and refitted using an ebay special that i cut to fit the new bends.

Niiiiiiiice

Finally got some new wheels!!






(MAY 2007)

After - Been on the car 14 months and still looking 'not too bad' - Notice the replacement Honda logo

Apologies for the poo pictures, they were taken on my phone

Fitted my wind-deflactors this morning....took a couple of pics

Pull back door rubber...


Fix the holders - 4 each door.....



Anyone have any idea where these go? I have two of them, one for each side i guess?

Have removed the UKDM de-cat resonator chamber and had a de-cat pipe made. This means that at last my exhaust follows the channel correctly without vibrating on the heat shields. Also had the end-can lowered by 1/4 inch so the bumper is no longer resting on the can. Exhaust sounds much better now!! (big grin!!)

Hocked up a webcam to the carpc yesterday

will post some vids as soon as I get the file down to a respectable size!!
(60mb per minute at the moment)


Using a program called webcamXP (quite old now),
which automatically records 1 minute videos when there is
movement in front of the camera (ie all the time while driving),
then a DOS batch file that deletes any files over 2 days old.


Quite handy if you have an accident.

Has some good security prospects too.
