ok so this is where my car is hidden at min and through the hole winter so missed snow and ice

ok so removed all trim from boot and jacked it up and set on axel stands

picture of old suspention, bilsting

ok so removed nut from the rear struts,

removed bolts from anti roll bar, and the ones holding on the oem control arms, dropped the suspention and fitted rear cusco to the D2 arms and the fitted the lots in reverse to removal

same other side

so decided to get rid pf the tacky tenzo R rocker cover,
got a oem honda one and decide to re-painted it,
this my first attempt and think it came out well enough
next one i'll be using paint stripper

ok so this is the one i had one

and this is the one i picked up 2nd hand

this is what i used to remove paint, drill with wire brush heads

so after removing paint i primed it 3 times, fallowing times on spray cans

then painted it 3 times too

refitted it and bobs your tea pot

this isnt nessary but i like this sticker so thought i'd share it

JDM YO!!
