At last......
Hi all
I introduced myself a couple of weeks ago, at the time I had already been looking for an S for some time.
I was originally looking for a lowish mileage pre facelift model as i'd given myself an initial budget of around £5k.
However, the more I looked at them, and the more I loved the facelift model, and I eventually decided to forget about the initial budget and go for what I REALLY wanted...
So, at last, meet my 05 GT... all original, full Honda service History, lowish miles...
Pics from this morning (it was very cold!)
I am not planning to do too much on it, as I like the all original look and feel. So the only things on my radar for the next few weeks/ months are:
-Treat her to a full fluid change
- Alloy refurb, will probably do that when I change the tyres in the not too distant future
- Fit a backyard Special lowered seat rail on the passenger side. I am 6'3 so could do with the 20mm reduction. Not keen to go down the DIY route even though a lot of the guys here have done it successfully. Would like to achieve a bit more than 20mm but not happy to go for aftermarket seats either, I really want to preserve the original look...
- will probably get the geometry looked at
That's pretty much it, i was also planning on selling the hardtop to help digest the budget increase, i never really wanted one, but I have kind of got used to it now, and I am thinking of keeping it...
That's it, now I can finally wave at you lot on the road
