few from the weekend



OEM wheels are off for refurb as the standard finish is corroding. Refurbed the Enkeis over last few weeks.



Engine damper on, heatshield cut, smoother gear changes and no negative effects. Engine bay pics when i've sorted out my scabby rocker cover

did a nice little trade of some signs for a wheel refurb. nice cheap deal. Finish a high power honda silver, i made the centre cap decal. few coats of wax and i'll shove them back on for winter. Think i'll be keeping the OEM for track wheels as i can get some chunkier tyres and it handles best on these. I'll be selling the black Enkeis next year sometime to fund some better fitting ones, still deciding what's wanted though!



may knock the rear down a few mm too to get it sitting less nose down.



Need to order a full bush kit soon too

so, week off work, been to London, came home to a few parts.

Spoiler,



Is fitted, great colour match and only £60 posted. No pictures fitted as it was going dark. Looks good though...

New knob, wasn't a major fan of the OEM one, intend to bin the red off, fill with blue and polish it up a bit. Fitted for now, feels a lot nicer



New wheel nuts, just awaiting valves and tyres





Also trial fitted wheels to sus out whats needed



Friend will be lending me an arch roller and it'll be going the bodyshop for a few bits as the paint will more than likely crack (if not then happy days but prepared for it)

looks good, you can avoid paint cracks by heating the fender with a heat gun. Just make sure to check that the area you are rolling is still heated as you go

Cheers Vince^^


Boring winter job yesterday, greased all the seals to keep them soft and working as they should.







Had a few drips before i did it, watertight now so well worth doing.



All fluids checked for next weekend, next job on the list to get the rocker cover sorted
