Figured its about time I started a build thread
So here she is when I got her back in October from a VERY elderly gent like so bad negotiating a price was a shouting match haha but in the end I settled at £900. I had 92,000 HPI clear, 18 dealer stamps in the book same owner from new I also got the chance to put it on the ramps at a mates garage before I committed to buying and it's incredibly clean and solid underneath for a 12 year old Honda!
The day after I bought it some old tit reversed into my tail light in Asda carpark luckily no bumper or panel damage
Since I bought it I have done the following:
Ek9 grill (colour coded)
De badged rear (except Honda badge)
LED number plate lights
JDM rear plate
JDM EK9 rear plate recess (yet to be fitted and painted)
Ultra blue headlights
LED sidelights
2 full services (overkill but I wanted to flush the oil system)
Underseal carried out as far as the fuel tank (more to follow)
Identify areas of corrosion
More pics to follow and plans for the car are front + rear type r lips, type r spoiler, full colour coded, Ctr headlights, spoon n1, wheels and tyres, finish underseal, repair any corrosion, H brace and strut braces fitted, zeta s coils, JDM B18C conversion, cusco LSD, probably rear strip out and other weight saving measures.
I'll try to update this as much as possible, I work offshore might be every couple of weeks. C+C appreciated
