Nice build!

I also have a DC2 cluster in my garage and thinking of putting it in my car this winter.
Do you mind taking the cluster frame out and take a picture of how yours is boltet to the car?

Because what I can see no bolt seem to match up from the cluster to the car.

FEEL'S oil cap makin the engine bay look better
my great stupidness was that i sticked the emblem to the cap before fit it to the valve cover...
hopefully tighten the cap more it will change it's angle a little bit more.

Car reached 100.000km mark!
New filters and oils everywere changed!
Also new oem thermostat replaced the spoon that opens at 70'c and was kinda annoying at winter months.
New dizzy cap and rotor since the old cap was cracked and old.Was a pain to remove that screw on the rotor tho...
i use a clamp on the oil filter as spoon ceo tatsuru ichishima recommends for the hi revving hondas.

 

[abunai888]

sanded,primed and painted the wheels white
also used a lot of polishing

The b18 engine came with splitfire silicon spark plug cables.(i tink they are discontiuednow)
The silicon cables are so soft i damaged one while changing spark plugs.(ngk bkr7eix-11 iridium spark plugs)
So i bought a set new ones from honda !
Before installing them i used my multimeter to check their ohm resistance.
Splitfires are low ohm cables as their advertaisment claim oem ones have higher ohm number but you cant fault an oem honda part that is proven to hold and make power even on demanding turbo applications !

moving forward...
a few pics of the car and my j's racing carbon intake !
was saving money for that intake all summer bought it 300euros and now i can admit it's an overprised intake.
the filter was really good designed ,fittment was tight, great midrange power not so good on top end.
by the time i installed the intake i made 2 oil tanks one for the valve cover and one for the crankcase.
the pcv and all lines was removed and the intake manifold was getto pluged.

 

[abunai888]

the lighter white wheels are fitted !
each old rim was weighting 10kg !
muteki neochrome open end wheel nuts was used

 

[abunai888]

removed the sound deadening from the interior completely
i was able to save 10-12kg by removing that ugly tar...

 

[abunai888]

next step remainings cleaned and everything primed.

 

[abunai888]

then black chassis coat was used.

 

[abunai888]

used some silicon to prevent water from coming inside,polished some interior parts and strut bars refitted.

 

[abunai888]

then carpet,seats etc fitted again.

 

[abunai888]

car as it was on 2012

 

[abunai888]

try to mimmic the ek9 and make the rear more rigid.
also painted the car under with chassis coat and used black spray to tight spots.

 

[abunai888]

next step buddy club rear lower control arms.

always preload your suspension before tight control arm bolts !
