Ok so my spoiler arrived and have fitted it to the car, overall im quite happy. It has the holes pre-drilled in the spoiler already which means its actually adjustable.















A shot at mimms before it rained and i quickly left

Car is looking great fella, lots of really good mods, would be good to meet up at brands in the new year.

Haha yeah i left as soon as the rain started....saw pictures posted up after, was like mini flood

Hi thought id do a brief update of whats been going on with my build over the last few months. Not been to much done as moneys quite tight

Sold my harness bar and harnesses and springs to get a bit of spare cash

Anyway heres a cheap nice mod.....
little hat thingy which goes on your knob
got it from one of the innocent smoothie drinks, didn't really like the drink but £1.80 is a cheap mod none the less



Never really planned on ever painting my calipers but went ahead anyway
Used a three spray kit of VHT caliper paint of eBay for £24.99
Aim was to get them to look like Spoon calipers
Did the prep really well but my painting skills aren't great not to mention i dropped it on the floor whist wet





Heater came in real handy












Dirty car



Random detailing bits bought


Returned back to standard springs awaiting the arrival of brand new Meister r coilovers
Car looked like a moon buggy :roflmao:

Also re-greased the camber arms and all associated nuts & bolts





The coilovers arrived today after 3 months !!
:laughabove:
and will be fitted tomorrow. Should have some pics up tomorrow :bigthumb:

[1812_s]

Hi guys been awhile since the last update but here is whats gone on.

- Meister r zeta R coilovers
- Meyle HD droplinks
- Genuine honda type 2 coolant change
- TGM Sport FRSU (fail)
- purchase of some detailing goodies

first up finally got the meister r's after waiting 3 months
got them fitted as soon as i had decent weather (there never was any ) and replaced the rear drop links at the same time. (the last eBay set didn't even last a year from when i did the JDM arb)

[1812_s]

Clean clean clean

5 mins of autosol














Final plans for the car are to find a solution to the geometry issue and get a set of wheels for the track tires.
Will also be doing a oil change soon as i have just gone over 6000mi since the last change.

[1812_s]

TGM Sport frsu

unfortunately didn't go to plan as i had ran out of adjustment in toe meaning i have to get shorter arms or camber bolts.
This means spending more money on it for another set up :bad-words:

[*nub*]

TGM Sport FRSU (fail) ?

[1812_s]

TGM Sport FRSU (fail) ?

i ran out of toe adjustment meaning the whole day was a bit of waste,

i have to go back to them after making some modifications to the car and get them to do it again

Car looks fantastic mate :salut: some nice progress made in the last couple of months

How do you rate the Meister Zeta R coilovers? How does it feel on the road in terms of comfort/harshness compared to the OE shocks & ABP Springs setup?

Thanks dude, i think they are a hell of a lot nicer ride than the abp springs and oem shocks but it all depends on the dampening you set it too.
I will say though that the ride height on the abp were very nice and made the car look really nice (however sometimes it felt a little too low and struggled with bumps)

[6N2 GTI 00]

Nice one
They do sit nicely on the ABP springs but I can imagine speed bumps being a nightmare, I have the pro kit on mine and that's bad enough. Good to know the ride quality is still decent with the Meister Zeta R's, adjustable damping is a must on our UK roads

[1812_s]

Got some new wheels, undecided on whether to use these for track or as daily wheels at the moment.

Also fitted some eibach camber bolts in order to sort my geometry and heading back to tgm to sort this and hopefully do a few trackdays in summer.

other than that the car has just been maintained and driven,had do rebuild another caliper....this time was the front passenger side, fitted some new h.i.d bulbs the other day and just kept her clean .

will also be doing a oil service in the next few days

New wheels look good fella, use them as your track wheels much lighter and stronger than standard.
Hurry up and get it on track as well!
