Havent got a lot of photos but a few stickers here and there, New colored lights in the dashboard and a sexy photo in the end;)

Probably could do with an update this thread... I'll keep it brief as I waffle at the best of times - 14 or so months ago, passenger side front caliper started binding, badly...out of sheer stubbornness after a particularly crap day at work, I just drove home on it anyway with the lovely smell of melting brake pad wafting through the cabin. That was after all of a mile, mile and a half... put it through another 13 after that! Dumped it in the carpark and, after a few drinks one night, ended up buying a 'more sensible daily'. As is always the way, when I buy with my heart rather than my head - that new car transpired to have been advertised rather misleadingly, so its basically swallowed all of the time and money I had set aside for this and the Integra over the past twelve months, in just getting it up to a useable standard... Anyway, in the interim this just sat in the carpark unmoved and largely unloved all of this time. Gave my head a wobble the other week and decided to start giving this some love. Cracked the door open and was met with a very mouldy rooflining... the seats, door cards, the steering wheel etc had a little bit, but the roof was particularly bad. Cleaned it all up as best as I could, and went to fire it up to get the AC pumping again and some heat in there to help dry things out. One thing I hadn't counted on was the alternator bearing going so I was met with much squealing and smoke, before the belt snapped. So, currently on order are two new callipers, new discs and pads (again), new alternator + belts. On a more fun note, I also managed to find a BNIB Pirates Black mid-spoiler with fitting kit (including the paper template!), which is now just waiting to be installed. As the white vinegar mix didn't touch the sides, the skanky roof lining is now completely out and at a retrimmers near here being recovered with new foam and new fabric, just need to adjust the sunroof glass height now its all apart and we're golden... if anyone has any recommendations on new roof speakers as well, that'd be great! I've also bought a second hand MG ZS180 rear ARB that I'm going to get cleaned up and refurbed with new bushes etc, then hopefully get all the suspension arms off and refurbished along with the ARB. Get it all bolted back on and then new coilovers... which seem to have crept up in price a fair bit from the last time I looked - albeit that was 18 months ago...then hopefully have something I can enjoy again. Hate having it tucked away doing nothing! And as it's not right posting without a pic - last one I took of it, as part of the broken b*****d estate gang - why have one decent car when you can have two slightly ropey ones?! :D

Great news nice simple fix.

China’s finest haha. Thanks though!

What a great watch! If you do decide to move it on, you've got to have yourself some enjoyment out of it this summer mate.
