Honda ATR
Hi folks, had a couple of 182's over the last few years and now I've endede up in a Ph1 172 .
Posted a few pics in the Media section but decided to start a project thread as I'm planning alot of work on the old girl in the next 6-12 months.
So picked her up 4 weeks ago now and been a busy little boy ever since.
First off was to wash the car:
The old car mats where shot so bought some black ones from Halfrauds. And the exhaust was soon replaced by a Ktec stealth system and new OE hangers.

So that was the first coulpe of jobs sorted. Next was to sort out the brakes. Managed to get some Brembo HC disks and pads and standard rear jobbies. Bit of a nightmare replacing the rears as the bearing on the O/S was stuck solid. So after an hour struggling with the puller I managed to get the new disks on
So after a week I got a little bored and decided to sort out the head lights. Starting with 400 w&d and then finished off with 1500 w&d.

All was going well until last week when the car started to make a god awful sound. After having a search in the fault section I decided it was the engine mouts. So placed my order with Ktec and hey presto they turned up two days later. Very prompt service indeed.
So was up first thing this morning fitting the mounts
So as you can see I've spent some time trying to sort out some of the issues.
As of tuesday next week a local company is refurbing my F1's in silver. Then I will be painting the calipers yellow.
further updates to come very soon.
