Hi =) no I won't be at mimms, I'm away unfortunately, although the weather doesn't look to promising =S Hopefully I'll be at the next one though.

Managed to get a few bits done tonight, changed the air filter which looked brand new =)



I changed the diff and gearbox oils, which wasn't fun. The diff fill bolt is in a bit of a pain in the arse location. And changed my cabin filter, which to my surprise was filthy...





Just bought a raised oem rear spoiler so looking forward to getting that on the car with the front lip =)

Just finished a bit of an epic drive today, Friday night I had to drive to leciester, then Saturday I drive down to Bournemouth, spent the whole day driving around the new forest area, Salisbury, and Poole, then back to Milton Keynes this morning. I was quite surprised how comfortable the car is over long distances. Unfortunatly due to the weather, I only got had Saturday with the roof down but my sister just commented that I look like I've stuck my face in a sun bed haha! One thing did annoy me was in the rain, water seems to run off the roof and land directly on the window switch which was annoying. And the fact my car is now on 14,250 miles =(

Shin Etsu grease will help with that water problem.

Interesting to see these low mileage cars surfacing.
Any views as to what the premium is on cars which have covered 20k miles, say, versus 50 or 60? Assuming excellent condition in both cases.

It boggles the mind some one has bought this brand new and hopefully kept it serviced just to do the engine running in for you

And that pollen filter is scary. Mine looked like that when I changed it last summer, have to figure they get that bad very quickly and then can't get any worse.

I might take a look this weekend.

Haha yeah I know, it came with a full Honda service history which was good. The best part is that it has all the original manuals for everything all wrapped up in the cellphone unopened even the tonneau cover was unopened. I got it out the other day to see what it looked like bit 10 years of being folded in its packaging made footing it a nightmare. Just have up in the end haha!

I'm not to sure what kind of premium you can ask for with the mileage. I suppose a very good condition (near immaculate) 70k mile car usually go for 8-9k. I paid 10,600 for mine but don't forget I got charged summer tax too =)

It would be good to meet up with some other owners, the person I know at the moment is DanBeS2k, but he's my brother in law so it doesn't count haha.

Just ordered a cusco master cylinder brace from RESpirit, unfortunately it won't arrive for 4-5 weeks from japan =(

Also ordered a set of brake lines and a clutch line fro HEL Performance and some gulf RF1000 fluid. Hopefully they will get here soon =)
