Benny's BA2 Prelude - Project Shakotan.

[Benny]

This has been copied from another forum so if it doesn't make sense then there's not a lot I can do looool

Startu!

Righty ho ladies and gents!

I've bought myself another Honda, not just any old Honda (although this one is old lol) it's a 1987 Mk2 Prelude 2.0i-16

One of the last Mk2's made it has a non-VTEC B20 engine, Cool as fark factory single wiper, Shagpile carpets, SUPER comfy seats, optional amazing squidgy spoiler and . . . . . FLIPPY LIGHTS!!!!! Haha

Actually LOVE this car already. It drives like new, no really, it does.

54K on the clocks and it's pretty much the definition of immaculate.



Plans are:

To lower ASAP

Source an HKS Windmaster exhaust

Find some temporary track wheels

Source some old skool Deep dish SSR wheels 15x8 or x9 ET's in the minus's

Then get them to fit lol

Hopefully it'll be looking fresh as for Japfest.

Time for some pics!










Retro wheels!



Single wiper! + weird bonnet spoiler thing



LOOOOVE the spoiler





Interior is IMMACULATE



Woot!


Fitted an 1986 Integra 4 door lip last night.

Here's a Shot.

Found my self a complete BARGAIN!

VERY rare set of WORK Carving Stark II's which are made by Work wheels Japan.

3 Piece split rims.

Refurbished and have brand new T1-Rs on.





Then fitted my coilover sleeves! Didn't even bother with the adjuster part on the rear, just swapped the springs lol

I LOVE the results! 100% happy chappie!

Thanks dude, this is only the start!


Right so one of my Work splits was loosing all its air over night so I did the old washing up liquid and water bubble test and found the air was leaking BAD outta the wheel seal. So I separated the rim, cleaned right up all the surfaces and then used polyurethane sealant and now I'm just waiting for it to dry before I refill with air.



Next I wanted to upgrade my wiper for a new Aero one. Ordered one up and it arrived but then I found it doesn't work with the old style wipers sooooo . . .



I used one of Rob's S2000 wiper arms and cut the end off and drilled two holes in it and popped it onto the old arm. Works a treat!

Also while I was messing with the wiper system I upgraded to Honda Jazz washer jets. Simple but effective. They spray a mist rather than just firing massive jets onto your window.

Part number for anyone that want's to do the same




My coilovers are turning up next week so next weekend I shall be a VERY happy chappie so long as it all goes to plan!


Oh and My HKS windmaster exhaust is on it's way from Japan!

Looks like this:



It's very inkeeping with the old skool vibe I think, Always wanted one too!

[Benny]

Well the GAZ coilovers have arrived! Soooo damn tempted to put them on there and then but I'm going to be sensible for once in my life and wait till Saturday.







Gonna be slammed for sunday's meet!

[Benny]

I fitted the fronts this evening, I'm a bit confused about the top hat situation so I'm going to have a play and I'm not actually sure they are gonna get me as low as I need to be. Some mods are going to be needed I think! I know the top arm is going to hit the strut tower


Oh and I've ordered some new wheels!

SSR Mk1's Just till I find a set of SICK Mk2's.

6.5J ET18 But with 25mm adapters they'll be ET-7 HAHA!

They'll be sent straight off to my polisher and will come back gleeeeeeaming!






If anyone has 4x100 to 4x114.3 adapters they want to sell me then that'd be great!

[Benny]

Coilovers on.

[Benny]

New Lip. It's called EZ lip from America. It's a soft foamy rubber that sticks to any existing body work. To make sure I didn't rip it off I glued it on with polyurethane.

Love it. I'm actually going to go about another 20mm Lower at the front soon so it'll see plenty of tarmac, not enough sparks come out at the mo! Sparks are amazing to fend off tailgaiters by the way! LOL!

Oh and check that I've had vintage British pressed plates made. MUCH better than the modern plastic crap.





Few random ones from today.

[Merlin]

It's very Certainly a rare car! I like the EZ lip, I was looking at something similar.

[Dbo]

I WANT ONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[NafemanNathan]
