So the car came back from the paint shop today and got to say it looks amazing so fresh!

the rear interior fully striped out, re-sealed, wire tucked into the wings, front and rear bumpers repaired of dings and scratches, also bootlid and passanger door,
they also fully undersealed the car with some clear coat so its had Plentyyyy of underseal to last a while haa!

not the best pics as my phone is rubbish when the weather gets better il have some good pics to upload also some go-pro vids when i get the js raceing system, sorry to bore you goodnight guys :)









the shifter was worth every penny! amazing! only problem is when im in vtec it vibrates so much the top adjustable point losens its self think its normal anyway i just tighten it back up,

Very nice updates. Car looks super clean.

Where abouts in South Wales are you?
 
The car is mint! I have mine stripped in the back too and I'm going to get it resprayed. It looks quite well on yours! Nice spec and no corners being cut.! The J's exhaust should sound very well...loud with no interior ha

There you are back on here:D, thanks buddy! Yeah looks fresh and cleans the car right up if you ask me lol, and the side plastics will be going back in when the js gets fitted lool! Well see tho, hows the car?
 
SK1992, you're supposed to use THREAD LOCKER on the shifter adjustment screws! It tells you so in the instructions and it's very common to do so in these adjustable shifters. I have the exact same shifter. I drove with it for a day without thread locker because I was testing it. The car vibrates in general and the screws loosen up. After I applied thread locker, it has never ever loosen any bit for months and months now.

Take it back to your mate and tell him to finish the job off, he is bound to have thread locking liquid anyway.
