Replaced my old window visor with a new one, it took me more than an hour to install one side.

Finally start putting the interior back together, first put in some EK9 floor carpet, i really like it. Something new to the old black carpet i had.

Ordered the DC2R yellow stitch shift boot, i think it matchs nicely with my Y56 exterior!

Match very good with Spoon shift knob!!

Almost back together, have my Spoon steering wheel back on. Also put in a Canadian spec. SiR cluster with CTR carbon trim.

Spoon mirrors back on!!

That is for now, next major refreshment is replacing all the suspension bushing!!
 
Jot got my valve cover back but in yellow, actually it is the same colour as the body (Y56). The valve cover was original in black but during the repaint of the car it got some yellow over spray.......so i said you need to repaint my valve cover too!!

attachment.php


I don't know which i like better, red or yellow valve cover?

Also i checked the compression of the engine,

215, 215, 215, 210 psi, the number looks good, the car pull good too. But it burns quite a bit of oil before i parked the car last year (or before the repaint). What can be the cause?
- engine oil?
- type of driving?
- piston ring?
- Someone suggest bottom end bearing?
 
nice motor tat! bin busy lol keep it up type r grill? b18c? fairly sure most vtec engines use quite alot of oil mine does i kno! regular checks on level/condition an shud be ok!

I wish it is B18 (also it is illegal here to switch to different engine model)......but it is a B16A engine with Spoon 2 layer head gasket. The engine pull good so i don't want to rebuilt it......might just as well check the engine oil level more often and save the money for something else!!

I do have the R grill (Y56) in box.......but during the repaint i have the regular SiR grill repainted together!!

The interior is almost complete except i still haven't put back in the fan motor as see on the passenager side. Tested for water leak with the rear windows and taillight, it is all good. But i do have to replace the taillight gasket to keep the water out.

This is incredible! How much money have you spent? It would be easy to covert it if you told us how much money in your currency was spent :)

The money spent on this car is unbelievable.......but it was spent over the years. The car was purchased in 2001, it was complete stock from exhaust to suspension. Even the shift knob was stock, so it come a long way to now.

I have no plan to sell the car and i plan to keep the car as long as i can afford it. I have a daily car to use......
