New here but thought id put up a thread anyway!!

This is what she looked like when i bought her: -





First thing i bought was the carbon fibre radio door from Honda out of the CR modal, pain in the ass to fit cause its spring loaded but got it on eventually










[hr]
The paint was in shite so that was next on the agenda











also removed the honda badges from the front fenders


[hr]
So this is as she sits at the moment






[hr]
Currently its in Duffy Auto Trim getting a new glass rear screen mohair roof fitted, so hopefully will have it back towards the end of the week.

Whiles its in there though afew goodies arrived :-)

Set of genuine 18" 8j and 9j bbs lms








and an oem spolier (you'll have to imagine it cause it aint outta the box yet)




It also got a full overhaul service on tuesday including air filter, pollen filter, sparks, diff oil and transmission fluid
[hr]
unfortunately when i changed the transmission fluid there were afew metal shavings in the oil, and second gear can be a bit notchy at times so i sourced a 55k mile gearbox from a 05 with the upgraded synchros and that pallet is being collected tuesday so all systems go

Plans for the future are: -


1 - Sell the lms and get a set of enkei rpf1's in 17's
2 - EibachPro Kit
3 - Oem front lip
4 - Get rid of headlight washers and front plate surround
5 - Re-trim steering wheel
6 - Respray Rocker Cover
7 - Carbon airbox cover and cooling plate with scoop
8 - Replace all bolts fixings etc in engine bay with anodized password jdm
9 - Replace Oem Tape headunit with Oem CD player
10 - Oem 4 piece mats if ones ever come up for sale
11 - Srut Brace of some kind, preferably J's
12 - Oem rear Spolier
13 - Replace gear gaitor and gear knob
14 - Replace vinyl roof with mohair roof with glass rear screen
15 - Polish up oem exhaust

Actually don't think I'm going to keep the lm's if I'm honest - would prefer 17's, was thinking enkei rpf1s or maybe oem ap2 wheels

Yeah I'll have to do a search on the geo bolts, heard about em afew times now and have no idea what they are haha

I think the LM's are gorgeous - and 18" too are perfect size for a few of us. Offset however is the most important point - be good to find out what yours are.

Well done with the paintwork. Your plans sound nice and subtle too.
