this is what she looked like when i got her




then hada bit of a problem with the bumper so had to get a new 1

re-sprayed myself with rattle cans






then i had to get some new mirrors that hadnt been butchered with stick on indicators
again, rattlecans


as she looks now




i'll be updating more when i get chance to get stuff done

looks like u got urself a nice track toy there.

One thing tho, i would rattle can the whole thing black, a: it will look better b: it will cost less to make any touchups if you have an encounter on the track.

i think lowered and 15's will help looks and trackability, pics when there on~!!!

yeah the whole things going black

1 panel at a time lol!

ahhhh,

I was thinking about doing the same to my cord

ye man same spec as mine, will be sik, are you stripping it? weight makes a huge difference in them and if you have any spares left over give me a shout bud, may take them off ya, keep us updated!

lol observation fail!

i dunno about that, thats a stripping it fail.

theres still loads of sound deadening to get rid of, its a start tho

yeah i couldnt be arsed, its like f00kin tar

tellin ya, prior to my teg going in the body shop me and some mates spent a full weekend chizelin the shit off.

apparently lay some dry ice on it for a bit and it should chisel out pretty easy

ezza is correct ice messes up the sticky compound and the stuff jus crack of like mush, example when i has a boot leak the water turned all that sound dead to much and it all jus fell of lol

decided to pull my finger out and start getting stuff done on the tracklude
so started fitting my coilovers this afternoon.



i fitted the FM shortshifter to with teg type r gear knob (no pic)

before


fitted

got the rota's fitted with 205/55/15 BFGoodridge tyres (got em cheap part worn)

lowered on k-sport coilovers and fitted the spoon wheel nuts

so i gave it a bit of a clean and took a few pics

thats 100% better looking.

But please remove rear lights and set fire to them.

looks really nice on those slips, paint the thing black tho!!!

feeling it mate lower it and will be fun on track but i woul deffo put every strut brace possible on that lude

seats fitted

woundnt have chose that colour personally but looks good regardless.

do the rails u used fit corbue's? and how much were they and where from?

i got them 2nd hand off the prelude club,
colour wasnt my thing either, but they came up at a good price, so i thought fizzle it, its a track car, it aint gotta look good, its just gotta do the job. they were custon made rails, cuz theres none available for prelude. thats why i got em, saves me messing about

ahhh fair enough then, should do the job

lude went on its 1st outing last week, just to a local meet
another member took this pic which i thought was pretty cool

dude!!! you should totally do it in advan livery!!!

well, reverse advan livery!!



Looks good btw, i think try spraying the mesh in the front bumper black, might look cleaner.

wheels suit it though

safe dude hows the car, sorry i couldnt talk much when you popped into work i had one after another people waiting for me.

safe, just waiting to get it booked in to get a full geometry setup at the start on next month
yeah no problem i could see that every1 was loading all the customers on to you

not updated this for ages either
did a few things to the car last year,
i fitted the akimoto intake i got off duayne (sp)



then last year on the way to getting some tyres swapped over it blew the balance shaft seal and emptied all the oil out in a matter of seconds
worked carried out was:
Timing belt kit
balance shaft belt kit
balance shaft seal kit & retainer
Auto Tensioner
Water Pump
swapped the alternator belt for the non. aircon version
so i can remove the aircon too, which i still aint got round to doing

i've swapped the rotas with the accord for the dc2 wheels aswell
for a couple of reasons the main being that i've been using the accord all through the winter and the ludes been SORN'd and a couple of the tyres on the dc2 wheels were bald so i swapped them over as a cheap alternative to buying new tyres. the other reason being that the dc2's are lighter than the rotas so will be better for track, and i got a set of toyo r888's that i'm put on them too.

and i picked this up the other day, probably the best brace out for the lude and rare as rocking horse poop




and to end some random pic whoreage from shakeys last year
