Thanks for the comments ).gif ":)) :))")
Quantums will be going back to Quantum at some point for some bits i want doing so there pukka for my needs.
I have had the whole rear of the car out and there's no rust at all, have also had parts of the front carpet up and again no rust, under the car there is no rust this thing really is free of rust which for an EG is very surprising.
I will be taking the front carpet up to remove all the sound deadening then putting the carpet back in place so fingers crossed everything is good under there as well.

Bit of an update, been a little lazy recently but decided to get on with tearing the front knuckles/hubs off the car today due to my extended wheel studs failing causing a lot of excess movement in the wheel when hitting a pot hole, kerb on track etc. so will be fitting some more new front wheel bearings, ARP extended wheel studs and a set of A.I.Tech open ended steel wheel nuts to do away with the nasty Rays Engineering aluminium wheel nuts which caused all this problem in the first place.
Looking sorry for itself, must be that time of year again *
Turns out my passenger side drive shaft boot is on its way out so looking to order a pair of J&R Driveshafts till i have the money together for M-Factory order, will also rebuild the Half shaft while im at it.
Lot of cleaning and inspection to do!
Also got a few other bits that i been buying to fit at some point but really just want to get back out on track *:sniffle:

Well work was a little quiet today so decided to spend my time wisely and work on the car
First things first i needed to get the hubs pressed apart so got them ready to take down to the garage.
Removed the balljoints as im fitting some more new OEM Honda ones
Got them pressed out and got on with removing the studs from the old hubs and cleaning them up ready to fit my ARP studs
All cleaned up, and studs fitted ready to send of to the welder to have the studs tack welded for increased strength.
My Torco gearbox oil turned up, hopefully it will save my box as the AMSOil has destroyed it
Knuckles and old driveshafts, Half shaft ready for its new bearing etc.
New driveshafts turned up as well today, J&R driveshafts till i put my order in with MFactory
I then got bored so decided to clean up my Coilovers and SPC arms
Not a great deal more i can do till the wheel bearings turn up which there's a 2 week wait *and also waiting for all the other parts from Honda to turn up.

Update !
Been a little busy over the weekend, got my hubs back from the welder so the studs are all tack welded to the hub now so hopefully there wont be any issues with theses again! Got my arse outside in the cold, cleaned up the brakes all round and gave everything a good clean and the once over
Hubs back from the welder, just need painting and there ready.
Fitted my new to me Avid Racing billet torque mounts thanks to SaifSkyline. In very good condition !
Next up was fitting the Whiteline rear droplinks and what a cow they are to fit but got there in the end
Gave everything a good clean up on the car. looking nearly as clean as the day it all went on
(Ignore the track rod arms, got some new ones on the way)
Then i did a nut and bolt check on the rear of the car so dug out the torque settings and got cracking
Just waiting on the wheel bearings, trackrod ends, Seal for the halfshaft, Front lower ball joints and some new springs for the front coilovers which i have stil yet to order then it can all go back together and go straight down to TGM Sport to have the GEO and corner weight done

Well the wheel bearing's finally turned up the other day, so quickly took them round the garage to have the bearings and hubs pressed back together,
Also had the bearing and outer seal replaced in the halfshaft, thought while it was off the car i might as well do it.
Fitted my new 12KG springs as the 10KG were bottoming out to much for my liking, shall see how they go.
Had a little play about with the Quantum's
Reckon there going to need a bit more work done on them to get the car sitting right but for now they shall stay in the cupboard.
Not much damper travel so big spring rates will be needed somewhere in the region of 20KG up im thinking being as they came off an EK9 race car there going to be valved for bigger spring rates.
Everything here except for the lower ball joints which should be here this week then its go go go
And a big thank you to the......... Space heater, non of this would have been possible as its bloody freezing !!!
