Well guys got it all back together, fully serviced, timing belt, tensioner and water pump all done aswell just for peace of mind
Decided to go all out on the MOT prep even though it didnt need half the stuff so got new ARB Bushes, balljoints, droplinks, EBC yellowstuff brake pads, hankook RS2's all round and am pleased to say it passed with flying colours today, being described as "Immaculate" by the MOT tester
Needless to say the car drives ten times better than it did before and even though its taken me a while to do I dont regret it at all.
The EK9's gone from this (mid re-build)
To this
Full spec is now as follows
Engine:
B18C-R
Mugen Intake
Mugen 4-1 Exhaust Manifold
Mugen Thermostat
Mugen Fan switch
Spoon Sports n1 B-pipe
Spoon Sports n1 Axle-back
Spoon Reservoir Socks
HKS Oil cap
HKS Radiator cap
HKS Plug Cover
Skunk2 Pro series Inlet Manifold
Hondata Inlet Gasket
AEM Fuel Rail and braided line
Exedy Twin plate clutch
Fidenza Flywheel
Red Magnacore Leads
NGK Iridium Plugs
Password JDM Battery tie-down
Tegiwa red Radiator Stay
Air con removed
Chassis:
Spoon Sports Rear strut brace
Reddot 6 slot front discs
EBC Yellowstuff pads
Dot 5.1 Brake fluid
Hankook RS-2's all round
LSD as standard
Interior:
Integra Seat Rails
280mm convex Broadway mirror
Exterior:
6000k Hids
Front bumper smoothed
12Tune Carbon bonnet
OEM Wind visors
Security/ICE:
Toad AI606 + Proximity sensors
Fuel cut-off switches
Alpine Headunit
Focal component speakers (front and rear)
JL Audio crossovers
12 Disc Changer
Near enough a whole respray, underside and in behind bumpers rust treated, repainted and undersealed
Few bits and pieces coming up with next months pay will be:
Meister R Coilovers
Beaks Rear Tie bar
Decat
And hopefully some form of engine management...
Thoughts and opinions welcome as always
