Macca IRL's 5th Gen Lude

[MaccaIRL]

So a new day began and my muchly desired motegi bits arrived
Got the splitter and skirts but no rear

So skirts were firstly silver and secondly had a few scrapes and chips



Sanded them down


Same with the splitter but didnt get pics of that as again rushed haha

Primed them all


Sprayed matching black

[MaccaIRL]

End of the night came and after a bit of an awkward job fitting everything we thought... that bonnet looks a bit rough

So you know what comes next



Owner wouldnt let me and the misses do the bonnet sanding incase we messed up on the edges, said it would be a time consuming job so we sanded the sides and he did middle and edges



Of course the misses had to leave her mark

Incase you cant make it out it spells Meghan lol

All done


Didnt get a pic of the spraying as it was around 8pm and still had to finish mine and do a few other bits so heres a lovely pic of the front



Some blox lug nuts on too finished product wasnt too shabby





Thats all for now, got the rear lip things to go on and thats all i can really do till after xmas

[MaccaIRL]

Ive a question for you guys

I have an apexi vafc thing upstairs

Worth installing or am i better waiting for hondata ?

[MaccaIRL]

Few more updates to follow tomorrow probably

On closer inspection the rear arch is pretty far gone unfortunately, probably will require a new one after all

Car is getting a respray in summer so all the work will be done together then

Wheels look much better, as does the car with the kit on.

I like the blue sparkle colour on the calipers!

[MaccaIRL]

Well some more news, taking the car up to the workshop on saturday to get these arches checked... might just get it all checked over

Still havent got these latest pics to upload so ill do that soon

Going to a car meet tonight and so ill nab a few pics of any exciting cars there too

As always, comment away and let me know your opinions

[MaccaIRL]

So a wee quick update for today

Was a little heartbroken i needed arches... good news, passenger side is absolutely perfect

Drivers side... pretty bad lol



Massive chunks





Couldve cried







Alot came out

[MaccaIRL]

Anyways down to business..

Cut out the affected area




Hooolllyyyy good ducks!

And no i dont have tiny hands haha


Insde cut out and sanded

[MaccaIRL]

Outer bit cut away


New bits welded in





And the inside

[MaccaIRL]

Still needs to be sanded down, primed and sprayed

Also have one side flat and one side with the ridge now so gonna smooth the passengerside arch so they match


All work done was custom and i cant thank the owner enough for all his help

As always keep the comments flowing, recently toying with the idea of a k20a in the lude or turboing my engine (h22a5)

Decided im gonna buy a h22a jap import with the lsd gearbox and build it up... take a day and swap what parts i can and take it to a honda specialist for turbo tuning and mapping

This could be a very long thread haha
