Cooling plate:

Sprayed the radiator stays in Clover green as the red didn't go with my colour scheme:

EK9 spoiler:

Then I found some chrome paint so resprayed the heatshield in that to replace the standard silver it was before:

Newly washed piks of how it stands now :

A pik from the WLC meet:

Its currently at the bodyshop getting repaired after someone went into me , so its getting a few things done while its there, such as complete debadge of the boot leaving the H emblem where it is, but smoothing the rear wiper completely, EK9 rear recess with 12X6 1line plate, and a tuck here and there under the bay soon

Sean- Not got plans to change the spoiler, EK9 spoiler is over done on EJ9s tbh, I like the simple spoiler tilt on the standard thing, so it be staying there, all about subtle in this case.

good to see you changed your mind, really like the colour, good choice on the rocker cover too. im like you, not a fan of the crinkle red paint.

Thanks for the comments, really means alot

Update:

Car got undersealed and Rear recess was resprayed but awaiting a EK9 recess so I can put 12X6 plate on the back, also the rear wiper is removed and smoothed and the rear is debaged as well.

Fitted OEM wind deflectors as well and it was damm fiddly but got there in the end, piks will be up later.

Undersealed:

Haven't updated this in a long time, alot has happened

Double din:

Next was to replace the crap EBC discs and pads with Black diamond grooved discs and Ferodo DS2500 pads, Love them:

Then I was on the hunt for some new wheels, never did I think I would find a set of my all time favourite wheels, Desmond Regamaster EVO refurbed in black, wanted to stick with 15" so it was perfect, and damm lighter than the sprints I had before:

More piks to come....

Next I wanted to get the Function 7 set up at the rear, seeing US civics and etc, it was what I wanted as I liked the look of it, it be joined soon with a EK9 rear ARB which is going to be polished to match the F7's:

Managed to get the hang of my double din so uploaded a pik of my engine on it :

Snap happy piks:

 

[shuthanbala1]

Managed to source a Miracle X brace, always wanted these but didn't want to settle for any other make of X brace, also decided to strip the rear out, wasn't really doing anything the trim that I am thinking of giving the interior a lick of paint in a few months :

 

[shuthanbala1]

Did a Mild tuck including headlight loom, ABS delete, battery wires tided up and engine loom hidden, also ditched the smoothed gloss red cover that I used to have for the traditional Wrinkle red cover, this one is in MINT condition:

Also got myself into the Honda magazine:

Plans are:

5Zigen 2.25" Manifold
Interior rear respray
Baffled sump to go on
Front and rear ARB upgrade

Next year:

Bay smoothed and resprayed clover green
Focus on engine tuning

Cheers guys,

Interior rear plastics have since gone in, gives it a neater look, holes were a bit hard to cut though lol.
