First car was amazing. I think you bought it from my garage!
Great mods then you were crazy to sell
I prefer the NA car to the boosted.. Can't beat screaming vtec
Your driving skills have increased massively (subscribed to your YouTube Chanel)
Can't believe you like in Stoke and I've never seen you about.
You have far too much money! What do you do for work?
Great read, great car, great ideas for my car. Thanks
Big thumbs up for this thread!
Hi mate, thanks for the praise. I bought the first one from Holdcroft Honda at the start of 2011, is that where you work?
I was crazy to sell but all loved up with the ex and decided to buy a house. Always knew I'd get another one but this one is more of a long term project now as its not even a weekend toy these days, just a garage queen. This one is 2 seconds a lap quicker round Oulton than the old one but think thats down to the gearbox. I'd like a 2 minute lap around Oulton but weight reduction and better suspension should help me acheive that - once funds allow!
I now live in Biddulph where about are you from?
Haha I wish that was the case but I work hard and pick up the overtime when its there. Im a staff nurse, working at the Haywood but start at the Royal Stoke next week in intensive care.
No real updates for this car, facelift Mugen splitter and Carbon Mugen style Seibon wing is here, Skunk2 gearknob now fitted feels nicer than the old Buddyclub I had installed previously. Took it round the block the other week and got some pictures.
Got the rear coilovers built up however they sent out the wrong bearings for the fronts so still awaiting for them to arrive, 2 months into this job.. Grr. 9kg front springs and 16kg rear springs, new front dampers and all new bearings. Bottom mounts have been painted do like how the BC's are completely rebuildable.
Also the new daily has been restored, needed quite abit of TLC, full service, replacement dampers (coilovers), wheels and tyres, brakes and interior items replaced/fixed. Its been machine polished and corrected due to my aunty/grandparents never polishing it the last 10 years... All taxed and insured and returning 55+ mpg. Its been nicknamed the diseasel ha. Alignment booked in @ Brosport in the morning and it'll do for 12 months before I change it next year.
Also booked on for the stand at Japfest so will be good to attend this year, and first trackday of 2016 booked, Cadwell Park 22nd May - cant wait, just hope the suspension is rebuilt and installed in time!
Thanks for looking,
Dan
