So got this car at the back end of last year, has not been out a great deal yet, but excited to get it ready and out for the spring/summer this year.

Photo from the first event a went to with it (not my own photo):
Back end of last year a met up with some local honda guys for a photo shoot, was a great night and some nice cars there, my photos from it, still wating on the professional photos taken…
After a sold my eg6 a did a deal with the guy to keep my hondata and got some parts to use on the da also.
S300 with launch control for a jdm spec car, need to convert the wiring and a few parts to be able to use this but a plan on fitting it this year.
The car has been hidden away for the winter at a friends place and means a can work on it too:
So far over the winter i have removed front and rear bumpers, all mudd flaps and arch plastics and wheels. It has a custom made set of meister-r coilovers on it the only set made a believe. So they have been degreased and cleaned down, then applied a thin coat of oil on the treads to keep then in good working condition. I carried out a full rust/corrosion inspection on the arches, sills, wings and underside of the car. The car is in fantastic condition for its age still. The previous owner has had the underside stone protected so saves me a job. A still cleaned down the underside and archs and applied a new coat of wax oil protection, paying close attention to the common honda rust area’s. I also applied the protection treatment to the rear chassis legs, fuel tank, fuel filler neck, real slam panel. Only one arch to finish off then its all finished with.
The rear brakes where stripped and cleaned as they where sticking a little due to lack of use. Have carried out a oil filter, oil, spark, and air service. The fuel filter had been done not long ago also.
Its running again and sounding healthy
A had two manifolds from my e.g. so used the dc sports ceramic to give a better flowing exhaust to the car. A also had a j’s whch is better flowing and a larger collector but it hangs to low which cause ground clearance issues on some roads. Playing safe with the dc as it tucks up nice and close to the sump and away from prying roads.
old vs new
After removing the wheels a decided to get them looking new again, they a ssr reverse mesh in 16". The bronze paint was flaking off and the rim was corroded and had lost its shine. A split the rims at home to help bring down cost’s etc.
A snapped a few bolts in each wheel as they had been in so long, was no real hassle to do though. The centres have been painted in bright white to suit the car better, a bought brand new stainless a4 grade fixings to assemble them back together with also. The rims once split went to my friend who polish’s metal work etc. Due to family and space he was unable to complete them for me. Have recently got them back and will be finishing them off this weekend ready to be rebuilt and then the tyres fitted ready to be used…
Photos to follow.
Plans for the moment, am awaiting some parts from a guy in america just checking prices and shipping times etc at the moment though. Has a booking for a new stainless system in early april undecided on tail pipe design at the moment though. My friend should be doing a paint work detail soon also to bring back the glossy shine as the paint is not as good as it should be currently.
How it looks currently:
