Re: NH-512Z EE9... B16B Speedboat
My Quaife stickers turned up today..

And I took that hose off today, but it has a valve or tube inside it, where it meets the I/M, so I could only cut about 8mm off, but it's helped anyway.
Here's a couple of new shots after some more tucking and cleaning...

And I think I'm going to paint the calipers gold again...

Very tidy!
I would however relocate that battery and fit an ITR intake setup, will work VERY well with your B16B and keep with the OEM'ness.

Stuck the gearbox sticker back on today with superglue, didn't go to well, but it's on. had to tidy up the paint around a bit though. Might take it off, respray that bit and draw/paint the sticker on instead.

I know what you mean, they do give the "bigger than they are" impression, but the car is a little high at the front in that picture, and no mudflaps make it look a bit odd. I don't think silver calipers help either, but will be painting them gold soon.

Or it may just be my eyes.

Re: NH-512Z EE9... B16B Speedboat
I'm tempted to get the NS2's refurbished, and get the centres sprayed gold...?
Shame the Sparco's are ET32, I think they stick out a bit too much.

The Speedboat has MOT and Road Tax.

Re: NH-512Z EE9... B16B Speedboat
I think those NS2's look great.
Glad to hear tax and MOT is sorted, are you driving it yet or do you have to wait until Daz tunes it which means getting a new exhaust sorted first, have you got one yet?

Yeh I've decided to keep the NS2's. Going to spray the odd one silver just so it matches, not fussed at the moment if they're not all perfect.
I had 12 advisories, the most I've ever had.
Passed this morning, went to the tyre garage to get a new tyre, but they didn't have any in stock, so going back out tomorrow for another drive to get it done, and the wheels balanced too. I'm keeping it under 4k at the moment until I get the exhaust sorted, which I'm hoping to any day to be honest, then drop past EHM after and get the tune. I should be getting an RSR 2.5" system.

Re: NH-512Z EE9... B16B Speedboat
2.5" will work really well, didn't think they made any aftermarket 2.5" systems for the EF/EE's though.

Neither did I. It's a CRX EF8 exhaust.
