some photo's from the scotland meet,

Just a little mod for the meet so peeps there seen them now you can not seen on an M but that's not saying there isn't one out there :lol Some side winglets Just near rear doors

Yep he did stow away in the car i caught him on camera

Ahh mate you did have a slightly rocky start with yours but fair play you transformed it rapidly. You should be proud and enjoy it now. Looks stunning on new meisters! ! Just don't sell this one and buy a Fiat or something equally s**t.

No, this is their vtec face

Here's one to tide you over, I'm off to bed!

Not been on here much last week or so been busy. But for a change I've not been tinkering just actually using the car. Which is nice. For example here she is at the park pretending to be a very sensible compact family hatchback.. These two love rollin in daddys blue car.

So i took the advice and now just over £150 lighter front and rear dimples and groves disc and pads on teh way

Wow, you just love to wrap stuff. Well I was going to say Sticky Stuff Remover (Look Tom, I remembered ) but it seems you've tried that, thinners maybe?

Paul (Bladerider) nearly ran some of us over with it while Dave's attention was elsewhere

My words were "That's me done, I can go home now, I've seen all I need to" having also just seen Dave's garage too!

some photo's from the scotland meet. as you can see i tried to over take it, but it didn't happen....

Thanks I filled it with Super last night for the first time, reset the ECU and took it out for a bit of spin. It's perfect. Through the residential areas it's pretty silent. Over 4,500rpm there's def a more pronounced growl, but over 6,000 that's where it really comes alive. Def money well spent.

Nice to just be able to use it! I had that moment of clarity yesterday realising all the hard work and threats to burn it but not going through with it have paid off!

I went to Honda first expecting a 350 quote, but that was the first price they gave me so well happy. On another note 560miles driven today. From town driving to high speed motorway and everything between, and also 12% incline and decline that was tackled ad well. And not a murmer from her, just one issue, some of the osf inner wing liner is still in Scotland....

Im hoping to be getting some Inovit te37 wheels... Multi fit 16"... Will they be straight fit??

Haha cheers guys! Old girl cleans up ok. Yes the burning oil saga has come to light now lol the head will be removed and I'm going to talk to the guys at work about a slight skim,new stem seals,replace the worn valve/s/guides, pressure test and chemical clean. I'll have to then replace the head gasket,timing belt and water pump,head bolts,oil and filter etc. whilst the heads off ill service the pcv valve and give everything a good clean/de grease. I'll also get the opertunity to fit the new alternator belt iv had sitting in the boot for months lol don't think il be wanting to sell it after all this work,she'll hopefully be a keeper.

Ur car reminds me of that song by Eiffel 65. I have a blue house with a blue window. Blue is the colour of all that I wear. Blue are the streets and all the trees are too. I have a girlfriend and she is so blue. Blue are the people here that walk around, Blue like my corvette, it's standing outside. Blue are the words I say and what I think. Blue are the feelings that live inside me. I'm blue da ba dee da ba die...

K20 Mk1. *Dribble*

She was not running as she should either so we would not of got the full effect anyway, worth the wait i say !!!!!

F##K YES !!!!!!!! Oh And WOW...

Yeah ok, hasn't ruined it, still looks sweet. Get some bloody tyre shine in though will you!!!

Mmm like the spoiler and it helps keep her in straight line when she hit vtec And front tints just asking to be stopped and at some point they will not be legal they have been getting lighter and lighter over the years the will be no point soon any tint upfront will be a no no

It seems like a good opportunity to replace with an MG arb.

Found out today after taking the wheels off to lift that it was only the outer egde of them! So just the width of the rubber causing the rubbing! Lifted it 10mm today anyway, still looks awesome I think! So the pictures of how it went on Saturday and then some of the "raised" height if you can call it that and a whoring shot or three! The story goes that out of the box, they are set to their lowest! 100mm drop I think! Couldn't even get the car off the ramp! So lifted it by 30 or 40mm straight away to get us going! Now lifted it another 10mm because of the scrubbing until I get the correct size tires sorted! Think one of my front brakes are binding, could hear something rubbing on the short drive after raising the car! Sound changed with braking too.

x2 minus smelling the oil but the man will hopefully have it sorted soon!

Not as stuffed, but here it is for the thread... Will be using the deck and the tourer to move house in a couple of weeks so will take some pics then

When was it last aligned? You'd be surprised the difference a four-wheel alignment can make!

Will say it will be a crying shame to raise her. Looks like she sits absolutely perfect.

Alloys this month instead Not the XXR's though, had a change of heart with my style.. you'll all figure it out soon enough

and i still want to go lower!! she maybe a little lower for japfest this year but we'll see how she plans out with the rest of the mods im doing

Wow what a BEAST! Beautiful looking motor and I love the colour! Even my Dad's jaw dropped I'm no expert on these cars but my oleman is. He had loads of Capri's, Cortina's, Escorts and Granada's

Yeah I agree the five door is not as good looking or I would have one what with the sproglets (lovely very well behaved and not a pain in the slightest kids) that is.

I like that a lot. Stealth!

Just been reading through your whole thread! Nice VTi-S mate and she sounds nice on idle on that video above. The subwoofer was shacking my room a bit Sounds a bit like my MB3 but only a bit more raspy. But goes very quiet when driving around town

For a knock yes. Assuming you have the ball jointed drop links. They wear out and the ball joints knock. Amazing how noisy they can be. If you've fitted an mg arb then the drop links are different.

Always loved moogs explanation of vtec

My boss is called Martin, went through a phase of calling him in an Aussie accent, hey Marty look at this

Wow mate Ur no hanging bout. Great job with the wrapping. Blue is Defo different but it looks gd . Wanting to do the same on mine but with black but scared I'll make a pigs ear of it

Iv actually not done one since getting the car need to find time and do it.

Wee update... Fitted a oem dc2 airbox not done much else as iv been working a lot recently so struggling for time.

When I got home I finally got the manual out and tried to get the stereo lighting to match the rest of the car using the custom RGB numbers. Pretty happy how it turned out

I'm just back from collecting the car. The car was advertised with Integra cams, but it would seem the engine was opened before I got it.......I'll let you come to your own conclusions but all the defending of the previous owner that I'd made in one of my previous posts should just be ignored. Lets face it - He's a ballbag! On the plus side I've now been able to see what the car is capable of. It's actually pretty rapid, and I was finally able to hear a more pronounced VTEC changeover and the note change from the butterfly opening, so all is good with the world. Just a shame it's near freezing outside as I didn't really want to properly push it Here's hoping there are no more nasty surprises.......
