Dibs on a hat! -
Nice! Have you got a standard manifold on your car?
-
Needs smoked or clear side repeaters. Looks really good though!

Damn it! Gutted for you dude! Not the replacement I was expecting unless you go down the route at a later date! -
The 25 year old Accord was dry as you could want after being sat for 18 months Went to fetch parts this morning, frozen windscreen, but dry behind it. Seals were all dry around the top! Wet rear window on the inside though! So when I got to the unit where the guy has what's left of his poor VTi-S, I mentioned it to him and he's let me have his boot seal for free, said he never had a leak! Fitted it just now and it feels much chunkier and had to slam the boot a bit to shut it, going to my mates to put the dehumidifier in for a bit to dry out the interior as much as possible and then I'll see how it goes next week! But I have a feeling the front windscreen isn't the culprit!
-
Nice! They do look the part ay!? Going to have a look if they do them for the M, doubt it though!
-
Haha would leave a better smell than the car had/has (I may have become used to it)!

I prefer 16's to 17's these days for function over form. I'd even go with a 15" wheel of I found one I liked enough but I reckon 16" is about right for the M, bit more clearance from the caliper, but not so big the car bogs down.
-
Are they EK ones? Think they'll physically fit but the spring rates won't be right but I suppose you can use them to see how you want the car to sit?
-
Boot floor was still dry in mine, that's what makes me think about the boot seal itself.
-
Where's your coilovers?
-
This might interest you, I went out for a meal tonight, reversed it up to a bush on a bit of a hill so it was facing uphill. After a few hours when I got back into the car the rear screen was wet inside and out, with the rest of the windows misting up on the inside, front windscreen was the driest but still had condensation over a fair bit of it. What do you make of that? I'm thinking boot seal could need changing too? The foam around the front screen has stayed dry and the bits I dried off have stayed dry though, but I did get a drop on my arm while driving!

ARB should help a fair way! I'm the same, mine isn't what I would call 'road trip worthy' yet. That's how I measure the trust I have in a car. If I could on a whim drive a few hundred miles and not have to worry!
-
Ouch!
-
Interesting! I reckon my sunroof drains are clear after prodding them.I'm debating with my mate whether my screen is original or not, there's no Honda markings on it, just pilkington glass. I only plan to seal along the top and the corners, don't feel I need to touch the sides so shouldn't upset the drains there.
-
Looks good!
-
I keep cursing the previous owner!Want to be sure its dry or at least mostly dry before reassembling. Will have to dismantle the B and C pillar trim properly to fit the new headlining but I'll worry about that another day!
-
And that was the one that was 5 miles away?
-
Yeah I did that's why it took me ages I can send you a few, PM me your address and I'll get them posted
-
I bet you won't make as big a hash of fitting it as I did, but I did kill a few birds with that stone
-
He butchered it then?
-
Other than that exactly the same as mine, should serve you well!
-
A mate of mine has offered to let me use one, I was thinking of sealing the leaks and then leaving it in the car before putting it back together.
-
I had thought about doing it inside and out, but now you said that's what you did I'll follow suit! Cheers dude! I've love for it to be a dark grey/black but I can't say I'm bothered enough to change the colour, will probably just sling it back in as is! Plus if I do that I'll have to do the pillar trim to match
-
I know you have, just figured being as you had fitted one you'd be able to shed some light
