cheers mate, yeah im going get some decent videos on of it, thats just a crapy one on my iphone i took cus i was bored on way back from dropping the missus of

[Darkhawk]

few pictures now iv had time for a proper clean:












and a few of me and the boys

[Darkhawk]

well i got home today to find my Earthing kit from LeeH and my honda badges from s77ltd had arrived so i decided to spend the afternoon on the drive doing little bits and bobs,

started off by painting my calipers using hammerite, painted them black to lose them behind the wheels, while the wheels were off i spent half hour on each one cleaning properly inside and out and giving a good coat of wax:






then i fitted my Honda badges for the front and back, easy to remove the old ones, just heated them up a bit with hair driver and popped them off with my finger nails, the ones from s77ltd came with self adhesive back and stuck straight on perfect fit and really make the car look better,:





next on the agenda was the earthing kit, followed the instructions and pictures Leeh has on his thread, and it only took me 20 mins really easy to fit and makes the engine bay look a bit better :thumbup:









and now it all together!



really needs a good clean now,

got my Heko wind deflectors, tegiwa socks , tow strap and my sunstrip on order still should all be here by monday tuesday next week,

[Darkhawk]

Heres a few Videos of the HKS not a very good camera though

[DANCTRs-o-t]

Car looks really good dude. Nice drop aswell, not too low.

[Darkhawk]

cheers pal, yeah i wouldnt mind going 5mm lower but it catches alot off the time as it is, and im not buying coilovers for 5mm

[DANCTRs-o-t]

What drop have the eibachs taken it down?

[Darkhawk]

30mm i think mate

[RoBMX]

Looking good mate, the springs drop it just right and make the wheels look so much better. I didn't see that you have camber arms/bolts though, have you noticed any adverse effects like uneven tire wear?

I was under the impression that to lower the car it needed the camber adjusting with aftermarket rear camper arms and bolts, the only reason I havnt lowered mine is the cost of springs, the camper arms and bolts plus a fast road setup and the labour for fitting is quite substantial just to het it sitting a little lower.

[Darkhawk]

Only had them on a month and haven't felt any bad points yet, handles better, not checked Tyres much, the fast road set up is next on my list of things to do,

To be honest I wouldn't mind it wearing my rears out, there crap and I wanna replace with better ones but I can't bring my self to remove almost new Tyres,

The springs make the car look so much better and like you say set the wheels of nicely,

[Stevo M81]

Car looks great, but that exhaust needs to be a little higher up as it looks to low. A nice set of tints on the rear and it would look :thumbup:

[Darkhawk]

Cheers pal yeah tints are needed defiantly,


Don't even talk to me about the exhaust, ready to kill some one ATM lol, the monkeys who fitted the pipe instead of the mid box cut the pipe to short and it literally only just stays on the hangers, over the last month it's strained the rubber and keeps jumping off an knocking, the last few pics it was of one hanger and I didn't realise, 20 min after those pictures it fell of the second and knocks,

It's normally higher up, taking it in later to see if they will fix it for free, if not I'm
going Bodge it with tie wraps and bunjie cross :thumbup: for a few weeks till
I get the whole thing off for mani and other goodies to go on
