So I have come to own Jordan 258 after purchasing from Keith who previously owned it for around 8 years. My previous Jordan 260 had an accident with a bush and I had to sell it on, but it always had a place in my heart. So when I saw Keith selling his I had to snap it up given the spec, which is as follows:

Unfortunately there was a crack in cylinder 4, but Keith had told me about this and already had the head stripped and pressure tested.
After a 700 mile trip to Scoltand and back to collect it I began making some changes.
First, engine out ready to be taken down to JDM Regiment for a rebuild and Darton Sleeves to be installed - this should be back with me around December time
I then changed all the locks (still need to do ignition) as the boot lock was completely different and I had no key for it.
I found some Jordan side stickers on ebay for a cheap enough price so purchased a pair of them along with a hornet for the boot from Teeky_JDM
While browsing this forum I found a post regarding a centre console suede cover, so I got one in yellow and installed that, it compliments the car really well and was a doddle to install - highly recommended!
Next came sorting some seats, my fat 38" posterior doesn't fit into the SPG's so they came out and were sold off. I tried to get some custom status seats but they point blank refuse to ship to the UK and I didn't fancy posting them to my uncle in Thailand and then to the UK as customs would be a nightmare. I could take a holiday to the US, but the mrs wouldn't be best impressed! As such I have spoken to Corbeau and they are more than happy to make me some seats and even sent me a material sample to see if it matches what I want. I have a test fitting as such with them at Trax on Sunday.
The steering wheel was then off and stripped before being taken to royal steering wheels for a refurb. This will be done in a smooth leather with yellow stitching and I should pick it up this weekend. I also sourced a yellow Honda badge to go in place of the red one on the EP3 steering wheel
Last part I have done so far is to get an EK9 spoiler - this came in Y56 but needs some love around the corners of it where the paint has come away. Pulling the old spoiler off was a nightmare as one of the nuts was completely rounded, nothing a welder and old spanner couldn't sort though. Once off I found the wiring was a mess for the brake light so I have soldered and heat shrunk the cut wires together to keep it tidy
Still need to sort some wheels, I'm after a white set of Regamasters if I ever mange to find some in the right size. Also after doing rear wiper delete, better condition mats, polishing the scratches out the rear glass, spoon carbon mirrors, repainting front wipers, drivers tweeter needs replacing, speakers need wiring sorted rather than the twist and tape they are at present, new gear gator and want to get a double DIN in there but we shall see how far I get before the engine comes back
