Thought I'd better put this in here..
Boring, Bland, Biege (metallic elephant I think
)
But it does have one of these....
Not quite a VTEC but still a great lump
It needs a few things for the MOT, Sills, rear pads and discs, C.V boots and one joint, Coil spring and Brake pipes
Now, I had to check the number of teeth on the ABS rotor so I didn't have that to fit and the other items will have to be ordered as well, so getting my prioritys right I got on with what I could.
After sorting the brake pipes and checking the rear brakes (siezed pad had caused excessive wear in one pad only) I fitted the front pair of these...
I also found one of the old springs was broken.... so they were actually needed and not just a luxury item, Result!!
And after a quick wash (one of many which will be needed to shift all the grime) it now looks like this.....
;D ;D ;D ;D
You've probably noticed the 7.5"x16" Shmidt rims with 195/45s and 205/55s.
4X100 means VW fitment and I wasn't going to pay over the odds for any in this country, so after looking at what was about I found these on Ebay.de for a very resonable price with a relistic shipping quote. Sweet!
Rear lowering springs on and new rear pads and discs
Means it now sits like this
I also fitted a new C.V joint & boots and balanced the wheels.
Sills are on order and I need to get the front light unit from somewhere (Honda want £55.00 for a tiny indicator/ side light assembly
) then it's just the rear lights to seal up and it's ready for it's MOT.

, it was the Honda way until they started faffing around with archaic technology like torsion beams (see the new Shitvic).
