Filled up on 100 octane petrol and took a drive up north to Yaedake mountain to test out the bushing, spoon springs, stage one clutch/flywheel and brake pads/rotors that where newly installed. I just finished breaking in the clutch and couldn't wait another second to feel VTEC again!

Spoon springs are stiff but not neck breakers, felt the car hop and inside rear wheel lift up a round a few corners. Exedy stage 1 clutch and flywheel feels great, revs smooth. Brakes....did what they were supposed to do.

Doing a perfessional photoshoot for SuperStreet / HondaTuning maybe next week-end. Just waiting for my 99-00 tail lights to get here, mine were full of water and I hate the amber on the 96-98 tails.

i was goning to last night but forgot my camera, then lost control and jacked up the front bumper last night....lol. so i went to the touge drifts instead, of finishing the 3 hour drive in our mountain pass.....the drift spot was really close to where i was. i gotta repair and repaint my bumper as i was supposed to do a photoshoot friday.
 
I'm also jealous! I would love to visit Japan some day! Amazing cars, girls, food, clothes and great scenery! What else could you ask for haha.. Weather also looks fantastic, unlike scottish weather lol..
 
Taged a mountain wall last night.....this is what it looked. not too bad, I'm gonna start prepping the bumper for paint today.

picture after I woke up (got home from driving at 5am), not too bad. I tore the lip and where the bumper scews on the fender. And cracked paint everywhere from flex. could have been WAY worse.
