Good purchase Matt, looks real clean.

What are your plans for it?

[walsh123]

Damn Matt what have you done joiniing the dark side haha Looks a great example though

Also this mean the Ec9 project is no more

I also demand to lay claim to the wiring loom if this i true ^ haha

[mattj]

Cheers lads

Ben, I've got plenty of parts i collected for the ec9 so they'll be going on. I have a bc spec2 rep, and i'm picking up a 5zigen mani this weekend. Same lad also has a teggy inlet and skunk2 thermal gasket, do those inelts fit an a1 head? I have a genuine unused chargespeed spoiler, and some nearly new ksport coilovers. Yesterday i picked up some cyberspeed rear LCA's and some front camber adjustable arms, and on the weekend i'm collecting some d2 rear camber adjusters. Have a full set of strut braces, beak rep rear tie bar and tomorrow im picking up a c pillar brace. Also have a skunk2 dual bend short shift, but i want an extender to go onto that, and then a razo gearknob. I have a nardi rep wheel too, but minus the horn as it was lost in the post, so i need to source a push button horn.

I may have missed some peices out but really i'm just on the look out for a nice set of wheels.


Walshy it does mate, however luckily for you the loom was just completed, and all labeled up. I'll bring it with saturday along with a certain bucket seat and you can decide which one you'd like to purchase haha.

[johnboymartin666]

very clean example.

[mattj]

Cheers mate.

It's been painted before, you can see the bay and door shuts are a different colour to the car. Paint work is also a little orange peeled so i'll be having some paint correction done, but it's not urgent. Would rather wait till after next winter and see what toll its hard on the arches. The car has been undersealed, and i've been round again doing the arches, but the passenger inner arch is showing the tiniest sign of softness.

Damn Matt you have some serious kit stock piled Better get some of it fitted for when you come down we could have a lil shoot

Hahah the seat is well and truly off the cards for me man as it looks like im going to have to buy a new caliper as mine seized solid today F*7%£!? !?*% are just some of the terms that were thrown around today. However the loom could well be an un missable item as i have some serious plans for this year my project is going to a whle new level haha

[SuperDOHC]

Congrats on purchase buddy

Wish a could have come down and met you oh well maybe next time

The cam cover looks pretty good not the best of jobs by myself but still cool

[mattj]

It'll be as it is now Walshy, gonna start fitting things when i get back. I'll bring the loom with me then mate. What calipers have you got? I've got a some from an EG Vei (252mm) that fit straight onto a gl / dx hub and a spare pair of vtec calipers.

Cheers Asif, really pleased with it. Cue mentioned you painted the cover for him. I'm happy with it mate, keep the bay looking fresh

[Tahir]

Nice buy, glad it went to an enthusiast

I wouldn't bother with the ITR inlet. The thermal gasket would be a good idea though.

Get all the bushes checked and refreshed.

You keeping it on the stock i-VT wheels, I love them and it would make a change if someone decided to keep them.

I wouldn't bother with the replica Nardi wheel too, I have heard and seen some horrors about them.

[COSWORTH]

whats the reg, does it end cbe?

[Mudy_M]

Good Buy Mate! Looks Stunning

[mattj]

thanks lads

T, is there no / little gains from the ITR inlet? is the TB not larger? I'm gonna be working my way round bushses, barring an ARB knock they all seem fairly good at the moment but thats at standard heigh on standard suspension. I imagine they'll start to go once its been lowered. I've seen the drift works video for the nardi rep.. It's biased imo, DW sell nardi wheels. Plus that blokes 16+ stone, i'm 12 and dont swing from my wheel like an ape. It was a cheap purchase from ebay so it will do till something better comes along.

No it doesnt cossy, ends EMJ. Just so happens to be my initials.

[robhornerhonda]

so thats the one one you got.....lol
cue was showing me pics of that car when he was up mine the other week..look s tidy that bud....

rob

[mattj]

I'll be out tonight rob, i'll come find you for a nosey round if you're out. Haha yeah special stage 19 is a go ahead like. Not tnight though, she's still got standard mani and cat/exhaust on, you can feel its really restricted. Think the little black bomber would out pull it. Should be puttin the 5zigen and spec 2 on next weekend though.
