Collected the car earlier from Tgm.
Great work as always.
I forgot how nice it is to have a new clutch
.
Very impressed with the modulo suspension - oem quality with a twist of aftermarket feel. I have them set to 3 all round and I'm happy with that, perhaps a little stiffer than the koni's but overall a good feel and they sit very nicely and the Rays look great under the arches!
I have been out driving randomly and clocked up some 60 miles , Initial feelings about the fresh AD08R rubber is very good.
I now have a bit of a dilemma .. I have Mugen gp alloys in the garage but the Rays look great ...
Maybe I will keep the Rays and wrap them in the Pirelli I have on the oem wheels ?
Spoon sump is on too, nice to have some peace of mind , I've also rebooked in to Tgm for the Mugen front lip to be fitted and the mu braided lines and Cusco front and rear anti-roll bars. Maybe the seeker blade will arrive in the meantime.
Bring on Spa !

Maybe a pic at eye-height/angle? I think if the red lip wasn't their to contrast them they'd look small and blend with tyres too much.

If you don't want those Mugen alloys, I'll get rid of them for you

It's hard to photograph them. I'll be fitting the Mugen alloys in a couple of weeks.

Seen this car a couple of times at Tgm recently. Sublime car and a proper Honda. Would be a crime not to see them Mugen's on though!

The do indeed ! I'm not sure I can part with them but financially it's the right thing to do
I've given the car a much needed foam/clean/polish ready for its change of appearance in the next week. I've also ordered some 'hard race' front and rear drop links to go on with the Cusco roll bars , also ordered some Mugen heptagon wheel nuts which are needed for the Mugen GP wheels , the Rays nuts won't work...
Also getting the project mu lines fitted and a brake fluid change (millers racing fluid) with a bit of luck the Seeker blade will be here soon and then I want to get it booked in to the bodyshop at Tgm to iron out some imperfections. Not looking to spend out on any more modifications any time soon , I feel the car is perfectly balanced, but the roll bars will be a nice addition and the mu lines can only improve the already great brakes I have on.
Obligatory snow foam / spray bottle pics.
