Took sill covers off, pretty impressed 8)

So glad I bought an import.

Also, changed my passenger side engine mount for a poly filled one. The old mount was, well fcuked. Wait till you see pics :shock:

No more knocking for this guy anyways.

Also sold the Tegiwa Rad on to Cheify, got a vt one in there for the time beaing. The KOYO will be a PITA to fit!!! :evil:

Proper B18C plugs ordered, HAMP filter on standby, just need to get oil now for service, thinking on getting the Mobil 1 one from Halfords, they got some discount going with it I think.

Paid for my Civic Midwing sticker and got an SiR one to go with it on the otherside.

Still need to find and order a slimline fan. :roll:

...and plastic headlights

...and CF Hood, Recaro's etc etc :roll:

Going back into bodyshop soon ;)

Pics to follow of work.

Nope, im going to fill the gap, put an OEM front lip on back and do a small cutout just above the tailpipe so it slots into it.
