Well its been a while since I last updated this thread, I have not done a massive ammount to it since the auto to manual swap but I am pleased to say I got it running real good, its proper quick and responsive, I think partly to do with the exhaust swap I did, I finally got rid of the side exit pipes, allthough it sounded supreme in VTEC it was just too dam low for them and I didnt like the look of them at all on a jap car. I scraped them on pretty much everything and it was embarrasing. I got a nice Scorpion cat back zaust on now which is not overkill at all and it does seem to of improved fuel economy a bit and throttle response seems a lot sharper.

Next is to ditch the Koni set up, too harsh for these bloody roads, I was quite happy with the standard shockers and 40mm drop springs I had on my last lude, good handling and great damping. Better IMO than Koni's but I dont do track days or anything like that so Im not arsed.

I need to get some money in soon, been made redundant and I have been trying to get level with my bills so spending on my lude has taken a back seat, usual tinkering has not been up to much either because of the sodding weather!!!

So far since I had this from Merc I have done:
Hole repair in quarter
Close ratio box fitted
Engine swap, now has H22A8 (started life as a F22B auto)
Auto to manaul conversion
Auto to manual clock swap
wiring looms changed, immobiliser removal
Interior swap
Zaust system swap
Lowered 40mm
Nice Steering wheel fitted
Poly Spoon lip
MOT
Geometry set up, needs doing agian I reckon, arse is bit twitchey on certain roads none 4WS

Anyway, futre plans:
Stock shock swap
Service
dent removeal
respray
new tyres poss new wheels, I would like some nice 17s but 16s would be better still
polish paint cam cover
clean bay up
Interior re trim like my old one, maybe purple/black combo or maybe red black combo.

All dependant on the dreaded M word ATM

Anyway piccy time.

On stock wheels I borrwed from Merc because Im skint lol

Thats it for now, will update soon hopefully.

Somehow I think no!

Nice to see progress on this as well

if you're after a set of OEM shocks, I have some also with the OEM springs on. They're yours for the cost of postage whenever you're ready? I don't need them and no one will buy them!
