Thought it was about time I got some pics up!
The car is a 99 facelift, imported by torque gt late 2010, two previous owners in this country and literally HEAPS of history and Honda service documents etc. From here and Japan.
It has no airbags, ABS, electric windows or power folding mirrors from factory.
Current spec;
Bride super low drivers seat rail
Spoon sports street muffler (swapped to this from an N1, noise issues for trackdays)
Baffled de cat
Spoon B pipe
Mugen cold air intake
mfactory shifter bushings
Benen industries rear lower tie bar
Spoon resevoir covers
EBC yellow stuff pads (i know, ive heard all the opinions and have my eye on them, swapping to ds2500 when these are finished)
new OEM discs up front.
Here are some pictures;
In the above pictures it was sitting on tein type HA coilovers, these were fairly tired looking and showing there age, so swappedback on standard shocks from a low mileage ek9.
First things first, oil and filter changed. New NGK plugs fitted, OEM fuel filter fitted also
The headlights were cut, polished and sealed;
Also, the type r decals were a bit worn out so these OEM replacements were ordered
Very hard to carefully remove the old ones!
The rear engine mount was shagged, and torque mounts showing wear so I ordered a full hardrace kit and got to work on that.
Old mount looking a bit worn!
And the hardrace kit;
The car was then undersealed fully and I got very OCD, all rear plastics removed and dynax s50 sprayed on inner rear quarters and inside rear arches, wings were removed and coated behind, all cavities filled with s50, arch plastics and liners removed and behind was coated, bumpers, sill covers and lights off to do all areas correctly, as can be seen;
The wheels were all looking a little as can be seen in this picture :0
So they were sent to be refurbed and then treated to some new tyres
Other work carried out;
RTA bushes were replaced with genuine Honda
rear ARB droplinks and D bushes replaced with OEM parts
Valve clearances were all checked and all in tolerance, but i adjusted to bang in the middle of the tolerance.
Cobra Category 1 alarm fitted.
Sorry for picture overload, hope you all like
