Few small updates...

Rear wiper deleted, de-tilted the spoiler, 1.6VT sticker back on the tailgate, red stripe on side trim/bumpers, front and rear plate mounts removed, as I think they are dam ugly! Not sure what I'm doing about plates yet.... a JDM sized rear plate came with the car, so I'll probly mount that somehow.

I have also started removing some weight, the basics... rear seats, parcel shelf, spare/tool kit, then I took out the carpet removed all the sound proofing tar off the floor and the rubber bulkead mat, carpet went back in, as I dont want it too hardcore! Still lots more to do...

Also started a few engine tweeks, pics of that to follow.

These arrived today, just need a polish up...

Rear strut and 'C' pillar braces...

Plus a dished wheel, not sure what its off, but I'm sure I can find a boss to fit it.... may paint the spokes black I think.

Some more progress...

Skunk2 Intake on.... still using the DC2 T/B as its perfect for B16... pulls much better after 6.5k with this, which is where I spend most of my time

JDM plate fitted... really need an EF9 bumper.. but it'll have to wait for now.

Parked up with his bro....

Get the Civic VTEC stickers on the garnish, make a big difference to the back end.

So, I was all set to get HSD coilovers... then I discovered they were out of stock... no probs, gives me more time to save, then surfing ebay one day, I came across these, ticked all the boxes,

24 point stiffness adjustment
Independent height adjustment so dosent affect spring travel (like HSD)
Spring rates of 5 and 8k, 280lb and 450lb, so not mega stiff
Pillowball Topmounts

No reserve auction, brand new kit.... so I chucked a bid in and risked it, used ebay special coilovers on a few cars and never had any major issues, ok they tend not to last along time, but the EF wont see too many miles.

£200 later, i'd won them, result!

So they turned up today, seem well built, very solid infact, will get them fitted over weekend and give you guys some feedback.
