use a tad of anti-seize
yeh heard the same with nearly every set of forged aluminium wheel nuts including rays. you just need to be careful with them and torque them up correctly. i have had my rays nuts on for about a year and had no problem but i use copper grease on them every time i put them on and torque them up properly.
sell me your rear diffuser
Haha alex will need to see what it looks like once its fitted first.
Seeing as you are one for attention to detail, your arch liners are fitted wrong.....
The plastic at the rear of the arch should overlap your sill trims, not tuck underneath them
Cool
Loving the detail going into this project!
Thanks will.
Appreciated guys.
Been busy over the weekend with trying to get the car sorted out. Managed to get the Arp studs in, braided lines fitted, All 4 calipers bled and the new trailing arm bushes fitted. will get pics up soon.
Been wanting a set of gauges for a while. Was going to go down the spa dual gauge route built into the honda blanking plate i bought a while ago but think that it looks a bit out of place so bit the bullet and ordered a Defi- din gauge. Three gauges fitted neatly into single din size with a flat glass face with all gauges angled towards the driver (RHD) for better visibility. They are exactly what i was wanting in terms of look (oem) and quality so cant wait to get them fitted once they get here.
Look like this fitted to an ek9.

Likewise mate. Hopefully your at the Dundee meet on Saturday .
The ARP studs weren't too bad to replace. You will probably have to replace the wheel bearing at the same time though. Dont know how strong oem studs are but ARP studs have a tensile strength of 190,000 psi so are incredibly strong. Defo a worth while upgrade imo.
