I forgot to point it out It's due a service anyway. I'll get my local garage to do it I've used them that long, I can get simple jobs for freewurlycorner wrote: So they can spend the next hour and a half putting setting the headlight alignment right again?

Re: Carlosfandango's '98 White Diamond Pearl Type-S
After the shock of seeing my car even getting a mention in the LOTM, I thought I'd better update my thread Not really done much to the car since its return from the bodyshop.
I'd been meaning to put some red Hs on it for ages, since getting the part number off Ratty for Civic EP3 rear badges. I'd also been umming and arring about the badges off a Civic EK9 (owing to the similar age of an EK9 to a 5th Gen.)
EP3 rear- left EK9 rear - right
I ended up using 2 EP3 rear badges, owing to their smaller size, but I'm keeping the EK9s in case of a change of heart
Whilst going down the red H route, I got myself one of these
Some arty-farty nighttime pictures.
Really must get a proper camera. Camera phones are great for immediate needs, but certainly don't beat the quality of a good camera.

Re: Carlosfandango's '98 White Diamond Pearl Type-S
I know the red Hs can be a dividing topic, but, they do look good on a white car
Speaking of its colour, I was asked the other day if it had had a total respray Oh, unknowledgeable Heathens!! I explained about it being an import and its position in the Prelude line-up I was then asked if imported Japanese Preludes were cheaper? A logical question, given that used to be the case for Euro imports. I said, "not in this case, but they got more toys than British/Euro versions"

Re: Carlosfandango's '98 White Diamond Pearl Type-S
Nothing really exciting changing on the car. It's become a daily driver now so I don't want to compromise it too much
Best thing has been the change of wheels to Accord Type-R ones, curtesy of Shaun and Kerry Marsh...cheers peeps
Type-Ssss
Type-Rs
Whether it's just the kiddology of "bigger is better", or not, it certainly now feels more planted on the road
Next stop, springs, to stop the 4x4 height
