coilovers came today whilst I was at work wasted no time fitting them, got the rear jacked up and wheels off, then the very first bolt I went to undo snapped, great, drilled it out about then managed to get the shock past the control arm, heres the bolt snapped, on the other side is a...

yeh man had to get all the niggly bits done and make it my own! I've just ordered a set of Meister Zeta S Coilovers, they have 8kg/447lb front and 6kg/335lb rear springs so shouldn't be too harsh but still a lot stiffer than it is atm with dampening adjustment!

got a couple of key parts that were at the top of my list, firstly a steering wheel that's in a hell of a lot better condition that mine is/was... so, old - compared with the new one, see the wear on the top of the old one and how faded it was - much better! also got an OSF wing...

does sound savage, not quite as loud as it was without the pipe on extending it to behind the headlight tho RARB polybushes arrived the other day, so old bush vs new polybush - the old ones are either the ones meant for a 98spec or just that worn they've oversize 1-2mm lol... new ones...

... pipe came today so filter removed, airbox bracket removed, area degreased - pipe chopped, filed, painted, fitted - much better -

returned the pads yesterday and in return I came away with some yellow stuffs as they don't do ds2500's for these calipers and a 95quid refund too... so, pads that are the correct size - fitted - theyre awesome, they were even reversing off the drive nevermind after bedding them in and...

lol, pads are down to 2mm on the nearside 3mm on the offside and theyre standard pajid's and the oil I wasn't to know what grade was in there plus it had covered a trackday to getting to temps I don't know either that's why dan@sjm i'll check them out when I do the RARB ones!

my mate says the same he opted for the ep3 just for a newer car that'd get maybe better mpg and be more reliable wear n tear wise altho theres very little if any difference between the two mpg and maintainence wise so following on from this... ive been sent the wrong pads,BAS***D... been sent...

flol video is grim and sounds like your only revving it to like 7000rpm bet it bloody shifts

that's the one! pads and bushes still havnt arrived yet I went to a dc2/ek9 breakers yesturday to get a parcel shelf as the car didn't come with one, whilst I was there I got a spark plug cover, fitted it when I got home and removed the expansion tank too - cant wait for the new filter...

Runcorn mate on the industrial estate there ive forgotten the name of it! probs say 200bhp with that and just being down to the airbox as the K&N on my mates is dreadful, great for vtec roar but such a bad design kit!

should do id highly recommened scoff/eif parts especially withy being near to us! my mate had his ep3 on the rollers on the same day, 02plate with just a hks backbox and a k&n induction kit which is placed right next to the exhaust manifold haha, it hade 196bhp 143lbs ft, I had a go with it on...

so, hopefully the correct ds2500's will be here tomorrow also bought some correct size/22mm purple polybushes for the rear anti roll bar as atm it has the 98spec 24mm black polybushes so you can see daylight inbetween the bush and roll bar *facepalm to whoever fitted them*, hopefully they'll be...

few more better pics from sunday, I fitted the new matching ITR stickers on the sides now too to match the one on the rear which I changed last week - ive lowered it 5mm on the rear and 10mm on the front since these pics, I will be changing the suspension for dampening adjustable...

went on the rollers at EFI parts today... chris/scoff said it was running bang on like Hondas always do, a tad rich to be safe, if it was him mapping it it'd be a tad leaner and make 2-3bhp more probs video - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u_rPFeO7MRc

so, bumper off, tip ready to be chopped off - ta da - took the car up on the ramp, new one chopped to the right length then welded on, great when your best mates handy with a welder - finshed and bumper back on, much better - random pics, standard unhit manifold altho the...

badges were like 8quid off ebay, I aint paying 80quid lol service items, only cheap ones for now as im gonna see how it runs on 10w40 as the oil's leaking from the headgasket slightly, not running out and dripping on the floor, just seeping out around the front left corner/3/4'' along the...
