Looks immaculate, shame EGs in this condition are very hard to come by now. Very very nice, good move on the itr wheels too, suit it much better

Update

I found the oil level to be down for the first time ever last weekend. Normally level doesn't drop between services. I found it was leaking underneath between gearbox and engine. I removed the gearbox and changed the crankshaft seal, so that should sort it.

While i had the gearbox off, i decided to paint it and the engine block. I also painted other brackets that were beginning to look there age. I basically ended up cleaning and painting everything in the engine bay. I got some new parts such as :
3 point strut brace
tegiwa socks
mugen oil cap (rep)
cam cover to be painted wrinkle black
distributor cover
carbon spark plug cover
cam cover gasket
cam shaft seals
camshaft plug seal
upper and lower vtec solenoid seals
crankshaft seal
driveshaft seals
new oil dipstick
new oil sump, hardware and gasket
all engine oils/coolant/brakes bled.
all new engine mounts
fitted new drilled and grooved discs on the rear with 262mm calipers and ferrodo pads
(all seals/gaskets genuine honda.)
tidied up the wiring a small bit but would like to get wire tucked in future.
Have a few other engine and interior bits on order.
I will upload new pictures at the weekend.
