Things have arrived
today a few things i had brought while on holiday arrived. You have got to love fee-bay..Anyway i needed a new intake hose badly mine had 2 massive splits in it so that was the first job nice and simple.. Also brought a HKS intake with a new HKS filter ...so much better than the stock airbox the engine bay is starting to look better but so much more needs to be done also removed the plastic engine cover i don't know why but i just don't like them. decided to remove the bonnet sound deading too.....for good measure.. My new K-Tuned oil cap looks nice just need to sort out the cam cover now be course that's letting everything down....

I have that head unit, its a nice bit of kit but your fitment looks much better than mine!
Which fascia is that? Did you trim it?

Mini update
Hi everyone
its no much of an update but i thought id put up the progress ...anyway last week i received a silicone intake pipe which i needed be course mine had a couple of large splits in it...
well not long after i fitted it i decided i did not like it. The original one is a lot neater in the engine bay in my eyes ..so managed to get a used one in great condition trying to keep this one as oem as i can to a certain extent.

Mini update
Hi everyone
just thought i'd post some more progress on the restoration project. So first of all i received some parcels in the shape of a new engine mount and the black series powerflex gearbox inserts
As for the engine mount it was looking really worn but did not realise it had a split in it until i had removed it from the car....The replacement engine mount was ordered from japserviceparts. also resprayed the arm with some hammerite to freshen things up.
next up was the gearbox mount powerflex inserts decided to go for the black series has i want to keep things as oem as i can ..also resprayed this mount too which came up well..The gearbox inserts are a great little mod as these engines do tend to move alot during hard acceleration.
