All I can think of is that because it was sat for a while?! I adjusted the the boot rubber stops and after I washed it there was nothing, but before I had a couple of drips! Boot looked almost open before but seals nice now Sunroof is also very dry with no leaks

I dare mention the "sale" word now lol

Few new photo's of the VTi all clean and polished

Don't see the problem with the intake? Shall I fit the rubber one and have another filter on the end lol?!

Cheers To be honest, no idea! The belt didn't look in the best of health though!

loose bhp lol? Intake is pretty much same as standard apart from the filter? Not bothered though as makes epic noise on crossover and in vtec

i think the main areas for rust for you to check would be behind the side skirts and underneath the arches thats the main areas that i know, and maybe check underneath the passenger footwell carpet, as that is a common place for water to build up I'll take a look under the carpet when I get a chance but the arches and sills are all good Cheers

I wasn't too fussed about the belt, as I used the air con on the way home and worked perfectly but was only for testing purposes as air con has always used more fuel in my previous cars! May remove all the air con at some point not sure yet, either way a belt is only around £4.00 ! I adjusted the boot striking rubbers as they were wound all the way out and the boot does sit tighter now

I didn't check under the spare wheel well but looked at the boot floor etc, hard to find a cheap car now days so good car for the price. I've just been used to spend 4-5k on cars previously and spending good money keeping them good and tastefully spec'd up etc The hole under the filler neck is just a drain hole. If anyone wants me to show photos of where they think it may of rusted out feel free as I haven't seen any yet and mentioned nothing on the MOT last month

Hi James I have been checking the boot wheel well since this finding, everytime ive washed it and its been raining long term and all seems fine so far. No water. The car was stood up for 6-12 months approx before I got it, obviously didn't do it much good as needed a really good valet and obviously the belt for the air con didnt survive lol. Thinking about cam belt now.. something to bare in mind? D.I.Y. perhaps ?!

Certainly used to be quite dedicated with my cleaning products! But seeing the weather outside, kind of disheartens it a little but as ruins all the hard work

Ha ! Cheers dude Currently wanting a set of Sprint SW98 wheels, coilovers, red rear H badge, 'JDM' look rear lights like the electrical section, set of spare headlights to black paint, some OE side repeaters as mine are crystal or something, look into what badges the boot needs (love the look of the VTi-S set up but mine isn't one so refuse to), the rest will come with time... Just haven't got the cash available tbh !

I would be quite honoured if someone put themselves out to come and find it lol Cars mostly garaged any how but thanks for the concern dude

I have seen newer style rear boot badges fitted from looking at a few pictures on here? Damn, should of repainted it red again then not black guessing the previous owner wanted the "Type R" look as well ?!

Hello New to jap / Honda so do not really have a great knowledge about this car yet, infact, I only actually bought it as it fell in my criteria of under £1500 budget, as I'm moving into my first property soon so needed to free up some cash after selling my Audi S3 Quattro So... Only 20 minute drive away from me 12 Months MOT New windscreen New Discs and Pads all round New rear bushes (can't remember which lol) Just serviced at Honda (His dad worked there) 2 Recent Tyres All the handbooks / wallet / receipts Pictures from the for sale advert: Did a quick txt-check / HPi Collected a day or so later Next, turning on the air con which resulted in a lot of smoking and noise then found this ... Any how... lol, decided to give the car a 'once over' and removed the castle sticker or whatever it was on the boot Also noticed red springs! And found this And these ... Drove it around for a while The car was very quiet and I really wanted to hear the vtec crossover so got this bargain off ebay for just shy of £30 delivered (have a video somewhere) Finally, as my boot badge was pink, decided to paint it black while my new replacements arrived, they did arrive, and didn't fit can you buy badges for these in red or is it a D.I.Y. job? Not sure i'll be keeping all the badges off or not yet Thanks for reading ! Comments / Help welcome

Seeming it is mean't to be a car I'm not going to spend cash on... 98 Spec ITR Wheels Coilovers Black all the chrome bar the H grill badge New Number plates Want a nicer looking but NOT loud backbox ? Use some of my lamin-x for the fogs Smoked headlights Some electrical changes to the front/rear lights Or.. try and do nothing and save the cash lol...
