Cleaned up and painted the calipers and drums black today. And I visited a different bodyshop after not getting any reply from the original place. They're literally round the corner from each other. He's going to be spraying the boot lid and the rear door handles.

I can sort the scratches and marks out.


It's still going strong. Handles really well, bombing it about in a 4WD Civic, puts a little smile on your face, but it seriously needs boost!!

:lol: :D

Past two days I've been thoroughly cleaning the car, and removed a few more chips and scratches.

Buffed up the bump strips too now they look nice and fresh.

Also collected some suspension today (16v shocks with Gmax 35 springs), fitted them this afternoon and the front is pretty damn low, the rear still needs to be lower, it alway seems to be an issue!

:lol:

New pictures coming Tuesday. 8)

Fair enough.

I thought you were selling it because you couldn't MOT it or something.

How low?

Too low!
The wheels are ET30 or 31, so it's only just clearing, just have to dodge those potholes and sunken drains. :lol:

New stickers are on and all parts painted that needed it. All I need to do now is a hoover, clean and polish.

Cheers man

I'll get some new shots tomorrow hopefully


I have a set of actual Watanabe 15's, and a set of Black Racing "watanabe" style alloys 15" - those are the above. The genuine Wat's are on the VT. 8)
