only mod of the day areo wipers






the dent


the cracked bumper


rare black half leather...aint seen another yet...only red



the free alpine head unit...the wood efect is going...there is a gen honda carbon look one...hens teeth








thats all for now, am gonna start splitting the ssrs this week
got a few things on order, clear side repeaters, hamp oil filter, picking up some denso iridium plugs and a dizzy cap and rotor

oh and if anyone knows what the front lip is...im all ears

just sold a mugen rep spoiler for a 5th gen too!

alright dude, i get on really well with the bloke at the scrappy and he give's me stuff cheaper cuz im always buying honda bits from there, i noticed that your back bumper is batterd so what i'll do is shoot over in the morning cuz i've got to get a bonnet for my mates EG anyway, if you pm me your number i'll drop you a text and let you know how much, if you want it i'll take it of there and then and you can pick it up from me, dont worry im not going to put the price up on it lol i dont actually know the name of the scrappy but i'll find out for you.

o ye and its lookin better already, its mad what a simple wash can do for a car, but i still think you should let me work my magic on it with the mop hahahaha

how much do you think you could get for that interior in yours cuz there is the same in that one at the scrappy, if your on any lude forums could you ask about and see if anyone's interested please!!!

what else do you need? im only asking cuz he said to me the other day that he's gettin rid soon so dont want anythin to go to waste if you need stuff!

Looks real nice, the paint looks to be in good nick, those wheels are killing me tho.

Not sure what the lip is but i like it, its subtle but still noticable.

cus....pm'd....v tempted by the mop aswell!!!

ezza....i know, worse still when i got the jet wash on em some of the gold paint came off....got two centres out of the ssr's last night...should have em stripped and gloss blacked by the next meet

What are you going to do with the alloys on there atm?? got a mate who wants some alloys but cheep?? pm me thanks...

im sure there 5x114 jay, u on abou for your mate with the new EG?

yeah, dont worry now showed him earlier NI..

keepin em for winters/track rims.....always good to have a spare set if you run splits...winter dont like em...


next mod was waitin for me when i got home...clear side repeaters...here beggins the question though, theyve come with orange capless...do i run thses and risk the fried egg look or should i rock some silvertech bulb things?

sound no worries...

bit of work today...day off and all...lol

firstly...the crystal side repeaters...to match the fronts and rears....why they ever put ambers on i dont know...



then some nice water beading after sundays first polish....the eagle eyed amongst you will also spot the aero wipers...cant recomend these enough



and last but by no means least...courtesy of some sound scrapyarding by cus...
my new(ish) rear bumper complete with chrome prelude decal...really pleased with this and would like to make it know cus is a star....

appologies for the poor focus but it was raining and i have a blister...lol

haha no worries dude! looks better already.

looks real nice, u got lucky with that bumper too, dont even have to worry about paint.

clear side repeaters look better too, more inkeeping with the rest

theres a small scuff on the one corner...but i reckon it will touch in ok...

just ordered type r gaitors for handbrake and gear...got let down on a cheap skunk2 gearknob ( got it too cheap me thinks) so on the look out for another...carpet mats and disks and pads all round tonight if i get round to it...

oh and whilst takin the old bumper off i found i do have 4ws...so now i need to find out why it dont work....then junk it if i find the bits

I'd get something more high end for a gearknob, ARC ones are nice, but i suppose if the price is right u cant grumble.

I hear over and over again that the 4ws is expensie when it goes wrong so i hope for your sake its something saft like a fuse missing, lol

well it aint workin now...it drives straight...im tempted to just leave it

Might be worth having a look incase it is something simple but if not i would leave it

good progress mate, well done

news flash....


just secured lowering springs for £12.99 posted!!!!

Holy shit thats a good price!

what are they?

pi front gmax rear....so a little mix and match but at that price i aint fussy

Im willing to bet it wont be enough drop but for that price you might aswell have them

mr angle grinder may help me loose a link or 2....supposedly 30mm drop...
