Picked this up from Jase on the forum a couple of months back. I'd spent a while struggling to find a clean example and typically missed out on one that Dunx had before eventually viewing Jason's and putting a deposit down.
His thread was here.

Spec when I picked it up was
- Bride low position drivers seat rail
- Spoon intake elbow with custom cold air feed
- Spoon strut braces front and rear
- Tein flex coilovers with EDFC (EDFC not fitted yet)
- 5Zigen fireball exhasut system
- 5Zigen pro spec header 2.5â (Currently restoring so has not been fitted)
- Clifford Avant Guard alarm system
- Volk Rays TE37âs (15x7 ET38)
- Rays center caps
- Fresh Toyo proxes T1Râs all round
- Wind deflectors (For some reason my car did not have these on when i bought it)
- Mugen number plate bolts
- Buddy club forged wheelnuts
- Fresh number plates (JDM size)
So far aside from clocking up a couple of thousand miles I've done very little aside from replacing the double DIN JDM headunit with my Alpine one.
First to be resolved was the removal of the eBay rays stickers that were fitted, below are the offending non genuine ones.
Fresh from Japan.
and the after.
The bonnet and boot badges were looking a bit tired too suffering fade and tarnished finish so these arrived from my local Honda dealer.
I wasn't expecting them to put up as much of a fight as they did, thankfully a quick search on the forum and employing the cable tie method saw the badges off just leaving me with the time consuming job of removing the badge tape residue and cleaning up the 12 years of built up **** around the edge before fitting the new badges. Only took pics of the front.
Before
After
Comparison
A few shots of the car as it stands.
Just waiting on some more servicing items as that's the next job on the list, so far have these sat ready for the engine and gearbox oil changes.
