DuncanB's Jordan #447

[DuncanB]

I bought my Jordan at the end of November and I've been meaning to get some photos up since. I payed £2600 for it with 93000 miles on the clock a months tax and 12 months MOT.

This is it the day after I picked it up

The Bonnet was wrapped in a "carbon" vinyl so that had to come off!
The rear "powered by honda" sticker had gone mouldy and was peeling off so a new one was ordered from spooncrazy on here.

In need of a clean up, but I have a lot of plans for making this engine bay immaculate.

Carbon vinyl wrap removed, Type R grill and oem honda ariel blank off plate installed and the tailgate debadged

Unfortunately there was a reason the previous owner had wrapped the bonnet in that awful carbon wrap, as once i removed it i found the paint underneath to be well and truly f**ked!

Needless to say I didn't waste and time in getting it into the body shop to have it sorted out.
Since then I have also fitted a set of BC Racing Coilovers, which I am most impressed with the car handles so much better and it hasn't effected the ride quality as much as I thought they would do.

These are, at the moment, the only decent picture I have of it since its been back from the body shop and I fitted the coilovers

I have also fitted an AEM V2 intake.
As soon as the weather gets better and I've got time for to wash and wax it better I'll take some better pictures and get them up.

I've got plenty of plans for it so will hopefully have plenty of updates to come.
Thanks for looking and please feel free to comment.

Yeah it was just the bonnet and the front wings were blended I gave it a quick polish as well which made the paint work look a lot better.

Quick update. Bought a Spoon sports steering wheel the other day.

It is fitted to the car but unfortunately I haven't had a chance to get a picture yet.

Will hopefully have more updates soon as I'm going to go to town on my engine bay to get it cleaned up and rust free for the next south mimms and JapShow.

 

[DuncanB]

A few updates.

Spoon steering wheel fitted.

In keeping with the spoon parts I got a yellow rocker cover as well, the plug cover for the moment is a 98 spec DC2 one untill I can afford to get a real carbon or kevlar one.

A picture I found from on modifiedcars.com from The Fast Show at Santa Pod, I ran a 15.4 second quarter mile.

I have bought a few more bits for my Jordan over the last few months so thought I would put a post up to show you what I've done.

First up is three Spoon strut braces, front upper, rear upper and a rear lower.

I also got a Skunk2 Megapower exhaust system, no decat yet but that and a manifold are very high on my priority list to do next.

I've replaced the 98 spec Integra plug cover that I borrowed off my brother with a kevlar one.

Skunk2 gearknob, unfortunately the red numbers didn't match the rest of the interior so I had to change that.

And a couple after it had a good clean!

Next up will be bigger brakes (got the parts just need to pull my finger out and fit them), Decat and Header!
