Mike's Type S

[ATR84]

Not much of an update.

I was getting a bit of water in the boot after a wash on one side, most likely culprit was the gasket on the driver's side rear light cluster. Ordered one from Honda and fitted yesterday evening.

Picture of old gasket:



So I cleaned my car this evening in preparation for Go Japan at Brands Hatch on Sunday, and......no water in the boot, so it did the trick . Here are some shots of the car after it's wash. It was just a standard wash, hoover and dust inside, quick detailer and some tyre shine, didn't need anything more as it lives an easy life in the garage away from the elements. I did realise though that I don't take many shots of the interior so I took some of those as well.

Lo
Looking superb matey
I was getting water in on the driver's side of My boot.
I simply pulled the boot rubber up all round a little then closed the boot down slowly to push it down again.
No water ingress since
Cheers for posting all the luvly pics

P.S out of interest what do You recommend as a great alloy wheel cleaner ?

Hey Toadster

Thanks for your nice comments.

In my case the leak was definitely the fault of the light cluster gasket, it was in pretty crap condition once I removed it and since fitting the new one, no more leak

As for wheel cleaner, I tend to use normal car shampoo, I never let my wheels get dirty enough to require an intensive wheel cleaner. I do however wax the wheels when I wax the car and also use quick detailer on them if I quick detail the car. I find these extra layers make cleaning the wheels are total doddle, but like I say I don't let it ever get that bad.

On Sunday it was Go Jap/Tunerfest at Brands Hatch. I didn't get much interest on here, but @Hagland-BB4 was so we convoyed down with a couple of my other friends who don't own Preludes (shame on them) and tagged onto another car clubs stand. All in all, it was a great day, lovely weather, great cars to admire and endless car talk all day, what's not to like?

Some pictures from the day below:

Thanks @Hagland-BB4 for managing to capture a rolling shot of my lude, my friends Datsun 510 and my other friends GT86

I don't think there is a need to wear masks outside really, I just kept my distance from people as much as possible, less so with the people I know and trust but still kept to social distancing.

The 280z was lovely, and the CRX in the pics was an OEM UK car and totally immaculate, very impressive.

They look great fun, I would love to have a ride in one let alone drive one. Unfortunately ownership is unlikely due to the 2 seats thing and having kids.

Yellow NSX really cool and want. Failing that, a Prelude will do
