Then I purchased this B16A but found that the engine code was gone! was not too happy and the guy avoided me so sadly I had to break the engine for parts. Painted the rocker cover when I got bored one day lol

Got some rota slipstreams for a bit before I sold them

New engine in! The legendary B16B.

The lug swap/ brake upgrade lying in my garage

Black Edition Slotted Discs for my brake upgrade

New Cluster as the old ones were revving off the clocks lol

My current set up with the new manifold and induction kit, sounds lovely on vtec

New Spark Plug Cover

Yeah I know alot of people that use him a few that are very fussy about who works on their cars, nothing is ever to much hassle for him and like you said he always has some sort of build project on the go. I have a T reg Accord Type R in Pirates Black, I won't go any where else now. Car is going in on Tuesday for some more work

Cobra seat shouldn't be too hard, as long as you have the correct rails? Are they like side mounts? I'm not too sure with them seats haha

Thankfully they are bottom mounting, had to get another set of rails but he will mod these ones to fit, the other ones are £300 a pair.
