Right a quick update how project cup is coming along.

All is going well, ive been rather busy with her recently

1st things first ive now got some new door bullets

So with the exterior now complete though I may go for a trophy v6 spoiler in the future. So I set upon sorting out the interior & audio system

So I finally purchased some Recaro's for her. I travelled 610 miles (Round trip) to get some accord type r ones

Not the colour I wanted but there recaros & their in top condition

Just waiting on sorting out the subframes now

So onto the audio

after lots of searching I decided to go for Rockford Fosgate Punch Series with P152s components in the front with tweeters & P152 coaxial full range in the rear & the sound difference is something else. Im hoping to amp them eventually

Fronts

Rears

So all is good
Heres some pictures I took of her today after I cleaned her ready for ace cafe tonight

Thanks for looking

[Mr R.]

Nice

That's the rear card id say.

It looks like you cut it with a fcuking chain saw.

Just a small update

Honda accord type r recaro's are in finally after taking delivery of the subframes

My mate rob untangling the wiring

Green I no but there so comfortable

A pic of robs arctic with mine in the background

Next thing lined up for the cup is a V6/Trophy spoiler

Im so pleased how the cup is looking now. Ive spent hell of a lot of time & money on it now (Around 6k) and couldn't be happier with it. Ive finally got it looking how I want it after 2 1/2 years

Just a spoiler now and Im sure the project will be complete

But knowing me ill keep on spending
