Thanks guys.
Been busy over the weekend with trying to get the car sorted out. Managed to get the Arp studs in, braided lines fitted, All 4 calipers bled and the new trailing arm bushes fitted. will get pics up soon.
Been wanting a set of gauges for a while. Was going to go down the spa dual...
Inlet manifold and hondata gasket should make a good bit of difference. Are you going kpro or just mapped on a chipped ecu?
As for the exhaust manifold on the previous page i would personally hold out for something a bit better with proven gains(eg toda) especially if your going to get it...
looks like a good project mot. The b18c4 with an s80 gearbox is a good choice aswell. Also for the wheels do you mean GAB sports? if so then good choice but i think a set of sprint hart CR-R's always look good on eg's.
ARP studs arrived today.
D1 spec open ended wheel nuts. They are forged so should be good enough for the road and track but ordered a set steel nuts aswell for the Nurburgring trip.
Hopefully get them fitted in the weekend along with the diffuser, bleed the brakes and...
Ordered the extended ARP studs this morning and ended up going for Black open ended lug nuts mainly because they wont fade as bad as the other colours especially red and blue. Should be here within the next couple of days so i can hopefully get them fitted in the weekend. Not looking forward to...
Next on the list is a set of ARP extended wheel studs, hubcentric spacers and since the rays wheel nuts that i have are closed ended i need some open ended wheel nuts aswell to go with the extended studs. Dont know which colour to order though. Tempted to go with red for a change but always...
Definitely considering the quantums malice but might as well try the bc's first since they are fitted now. The quantums are a fair bit more expensive than the bc's so the upgrade would have to be justified. At the same time though they do have very high spring rates but the dampening makes up...
Amazing updates. Reggas on the previous page look megga and that ek with the bronze reggas is a bad influence si lol. Will be ordering a set of arp extended wheel studs, open ended lug nuts and some spacers in the morning. There goes £300 lol.
BYS bumpers are very cool but need an...
can easily measure it henry but i dont think 15mm spacers would clear the studs. Freakyparts is a machinist, has complete hubs and makes spacers from scratch and his measurement were that for the spacer to completely cover the studs, sizes would start from 27mm, which to me makes sense.
I see what malice means henry but in order for the bolt on spacers to completely cover the studs the smallest size spacer is 27mm unless ofcourse you cut the studs down and go with a smaller size spacers but i have never seen that done on a honda and dont know how safe that would be tbh
Also...
Cheers malice, well i will give the a go and see how i get on. They cant possibly be worse than the tein superstreets i had on before. If they are not to my taste then my mate has offered me a set of quantum coilovers for a reasonable price. They are meant to be great coilovers but might be a...
looks good gaz.Love the wheels and spacers will make a nice difference once their on aswell. Glad the mot went smooth. Got mines coming up at the end of the month.
Yeh thats ants old one. It spent most of its life in glasgow with ant and both this and mines were imported at the same time but as richy said ants one had its c's ecu nicked at the docks. He went for a dta s40 and originally had it mapped by henry roy then was sold to another boy down south who...
I know si but at least they would save me using longer studs and spacers. Not 100% sure im getting them yet mind but they are an option i am considering atm.
Thanks for the comments guys. The spacer situation is temporary as i needed the wheel to clear the calipers without scratching them. The wheel sits on the hub just but im not driving it like that. Longer ARP studs and hubcentric spacers are next on the list before it goes on the road, although i...
Cheers ben. The pic above shows 2x6mm spacers together but in the end i only used one 6mm for each side, which clears the calipers fine. In theory i should be ok with 6mm spacers but im still getting extended studs to be safe.
Only heard good things about the bc coilovers but havent really had...
lol will, shamefully its kept in the garage 95% of the time. In my defence though i haven't really had the chance to drive it properly since i bought it yet because there were so many things that needed sorted out when i bought it and then over winter i didnt want to use it so was declared sorn...
Not a fan of p1's at all im afraid LIL B. Would love a set of CE's chris but sticking with the raggas for the now. Loving the look of them spaced out against the spoon calipers and now the car is sitting lower.
Started removing the old front coilovers
New ones ready to go on...
for 20mm spacers you will need extended studs henry. Proper ballache to fit though. i would just buy a different set of wheels instead of messing around with spacers. A set of 98 spec teg wheels always work well and still in keep with the oem theme.
Forgot to post up these pics. This was after i put everything on and dropped the car off the stands. Sits abit lower now. dampening on full hard is pretty crazy on them. half way seems reasonable but im yet to test them properly so will wait until the fronts are on to test them out.
Yeh same the RE30 are my favorite volks. No plans to sell up but would still have to be an impulse buy i think si.
cheers mate. From the pictures the stickers look identical to oem honda ones but still expensive at £35 for replica ones. Another £35 gets you 100% genuine so thinking of going...
