Next update,


The car now has a Hondata Kpro:

Kpro ECU Swap with Rob

Then when I got home I decided to swap my interior carpet from black to red and fix a couple of rattles that were annoying me. (turned out to be the parcel shelf wasn't clipped right in, and the lid for the crossover in the drivers door had come loose)

Interior Carpet Swap

Very happy they are fixed was annoying the turd outta me.

So now I have Launch control set at 3.5K and my vtec crossover down at 4.5K.

Next on the list is to get the exhaust swapped then RBC fitted and then finally the Kpro mapped to my mods.

Can't wait

Yeah mate, the carpet is SO much better but now i'm not keen on the red with red, so I'm gonna put black matts in and keep the red carpet. should look sweet I reckon.

Decided to clean the car and clay it to get rid of some of that winter gunk, Its the first proper wash since the respray so I think it was long overdue.

Used Meg's claybar then Stage 1 Paint cleaner and followed by a Stage 2 polish

Then took some pics...

Dave you need to bring this to JAE this year. You missed a corker last year.

I was gutted i missed it, i was filming a wedding for a mates sister...Not quite the drunken plonked in a field surrounded by nice cars and scantly clad women bank holiday i was hoping for.

Will be going this year, planning on filming with Lucia and making a bit fo a doco about it.

I'll keep my eye out for the thread on here
