Shame you couldnt get the supersprint etc on, never known a car have a full seamless exhaust though, guess no chance of it blowing at any point! Lol

Love the Gruppe M, bet it sounds awesome with the JRSC! Anthracite wheels are the way forward, I'm tempted myself but they've only just been refurbed by the dealers... :/

Think mine must have skipped the wheel warrenty recall as they are bubbly as fuck around the bolt holes

paid 6.2k and sold some of the spares and extra mods it came with so owes me around 5.8 as it stands, didnt plan on buying a supercharged one but it seemed a bargin compared to what others you were getting for around that price

UPDATE TIME

Right dispite a stinking cold the weather was too nice to not get on with fitting my springs so I manned up and did it :rolleyes:

Springs from egay








was going to help update one of the how to guides on another forum so here are a couple of snaps anyway

first off get generous with the WD40





out with old




in with new







Fronts







If anyone knows how to get the track rods off without busting the boot let me know :bad-words:




So need to buy a set of these asap







Before







After








Ignore the hellaflush camber as I need to take it for a geo setup asap :lol:

Has had the camber arms set for the TGM settings on standard springs so now its on these its got a fair bit more :o

[gavin_t]

Heres what it was set to

Old settings from a couple of years back




What it was when I arrived after I had pulled it apart and reassembled




What I have now




Nothing special just nice and even and gives a smooth stable ride. Im going to drive it for a bit and take it to castle coombe in april and may add a little more rear camber if I think it needs it after then.

Well happy with how it drives at the moment though its like a new car, although that maybe because the geo was so out on the way up there :lol:


Impressed how close I got the camber when I put the bolts back in by eye though :look:


Some slightly better pics after a clean

Gave it a clay, polish and wax using the megs kit that I had.

Still faded but at least its shiney and smooth now






Wasnt really anywhere to go decent for pics so just rolled down the front to the sea front











Even polished up the exhaust :o




If I remember I will take a picture of it on level ground at work tomorow to show how it sits properly






Well now I am happy with how it drives the only things left to do are cosmetic

Wheels need attention





Do I refurb?

Or buy some rota's?


Also The paint is unfortunatly in a bad state of fade and has a few chips. Dont know if to sort this or leave it. As I like to use my cars and there is no point if its only going to chip again unless I can get a thicker coat or something put on. just the roads round here are terrible and I know at least 4 of the big uns on the front are from the time I have owned it

[-shuggles-]

buy rota's cars looks great

[Chr15]

fuck rotas, get some buddy club qf1's

[gavin_t]

Was reading total honda earlier and realised mugen wheels were nice then realised they were £738 each

[CitSaxo589]

looks nice with the springs fitted, not to low but not like a tractor lol.
My mates just lowered his EP3 on some Spoon springs and it sits about the same as yours.

[gavin_t]

Yer didnt want to ruin the ride or handling so these seem spot on

Drive better, still comfy and look better



So refurb oems






Also liking bronze torques



rota slips, not sure if mine sits low enough to pull it off though





Seems hard to be origional now days so might just go with what looks good

[gavin_t]

double post fail

[gavin_t]

Right got it ready for its track outing this weekend


Also fitted a new exhaust as the buddy club one was a bit loud for my liking, sounded good when giving it the beans



But around town etc it was a bit of a mare


So fitted a silenced 2.5inch back box with a OEM rear box. 100% sleeper now and sounds oem



Changed the exhaust over to get it legal for castle coombe too its noisy days are over

Old race tube off



Found out what i hit on a speed hump the other week :roll:




New system on

OEM rear box with 2.5inch silenced stainless centre










Rear box had been living in the old owners shed since 2005 so cleaned it up







New exhaust sound


Sounds oem but with a whine when you boot it :cooldude:


Also means I can drive into the multistory at work in the morning and not set off car alarms :lol:


Need to get it rr though to check the rear box isnt too restrictive for it as it feels it could have lost a bit of top end for 6k up




Couple of meet pics from the other week

[Peter_D]

Love it!!! Go for the Rota slips, they are lovely

[gavin_t]

Been a while so time for an update


Since last time:


Bought a cheap set of rota boosts

painted them with some halfords anthracite paint to get rid of the chips


Car drives better now on the wider wheels, feels stiffer and more sure footed on turn in


Still not sure on how they look though

pics































Also found a spoon n1 cheap. However I dont think it will be staying long as its loud as fuck :|
Quiter then the buddy club I had in the begining yes but still really droney. Sound when on it though :lol: Going to see if I can find a bung to make it quiter


Polished up the rear box for bling before fitting










Noise check :o sounds better coming towards you as you get the charger noise

[simmo]

Havnt read the thread and the schooperchargers awsome etc..

but do you realise how Rare full leathers are? Apparantly offered as an option that was so expensive + rare that if you ordered them honda simply took the seats out and sent them to a re-trimmer. hence alot of the full leathers being all different.. some having type-r sticked in and some being plain etc?

Didnt know you had one, its a good combo. I went back to one as this is my second

N1 is still on at the moment going to try a bung for daily driving. Love the sound of it when on it though. Failing that im going toda hunting. Need to decide for sure before I it goes in to get the map tweeqed again though.

[VTR-Chris]
