2nd hand, bargain £60.....$285.00 new from summit racing

thats good price, i paid 70 for one of these of bobby back in the kwik save days

Nice!

ye thats a decent price dude good ebay find!

few pics from today...

finally unwrapped my 2ws subframe...



gonna get the wire wheel on it and clean it up..

been as the weathers been so great today i thought it rude not to take the bumper off and put the AEM on...what a job...will be a pisser having to take the bumper off everytime the filter needs cleaning


was a bugger to get on....the whole left by all the now redundant air filter gubbins was just a little too small for the pipe to go through, so i had to open it up a little...then paint it to seal the bare metal edges left.

also put my black honda badges on...aint to happy with the quality so i think ill spray the originals black and put em back on



yes my car is filthy in the pics....it aint now...lol

the eagle eyed amoungst you will have also spotted the feet off of an ebay strut brace i had a go at fitting....

it just wouldnt go on, where am i going wrong....the alloy bar seems too long to go between the two feet...i tried jacking it right up, one side, the other, both wheels...nothing...what am i doing wrong guys??

give it a clean off and a lick of hammerite and the jobs a goodn!

few updates.....
took a trip to pickup some honda access carpet mats...colour will take a little getting used to, and they need a damn good clean, ran a vax carpet cleaner over em but still look grubby...front two are in great condition, but the binding on one of the back ones has freyed and come away, know anyone who can re bind em?

carpet matts ok to jet wash?

finally fitted strut brace, had to cut two cm off each end and take the adjuster nuts off to get it narrow enough...crazy

subframe is stripped and ready for hammerite and fitting weather permitting on saturday, wheels are totally stripped and in primer...gloss black on its way...

bought a box for my sub and fitted it all up, and finally wired in the ipod...

pics up soon as i find my phone lead

nice update!

when i used to do valeting i jet washed car mats all the time and nothin ever happend to them, also leave them to soak in somthin over night it reallllly helps remove the shite out of them.

Sounds good, I think your lead is in the 2nd drawer down in your bedside unit thing ( Imk if I'm right, lol)

ok heres the pics as i found the lead...


only just fit...glad i didnt order the twin..




shifter extension and new knob


strut in position


honda access matts


ipod lead in centre consol arm rest pocket...

looks good mukka

ye man looks and fits mint, like what you've done with the i-od lead looks like a factory fit haha

gonna trim the bottom of the box with some black accoustic carbet to fully fininsh it....even contemplating a cradle of some description so it just slots in nice

i've got 2 10" and i put them that ^^^ way up and i must of took a corner to fast and the box fell over and fucked one of my 10"'s up

rest it on the back of the sub box so you dont do the same.

it cant over turn the parce shelf is in the way....
