Dexter Posted January 7, 2015 Author Share Posted January 7, 2015 Thanks for the comments. This year started with a proper wash & wax: Photos don't do (in)justice to how filthy she really was... Luckily we had a brand new Kärcher Pro pressure washer at work! Unfortunately it was a bit more powerful than what i was used to: Gotta learn to be more careful from now on . But i guess that also says something about the notoriously thin Honda paintcoat, and also in this case the quality of this particular deck's paintcoat. Like you can see from the photo above, there are tiny rust bubbles visible which no doubt did their fair share of preparation for the paint removal. Once fully clean i found other spots like this, in the rear arches and above the windshield as well. Sooner than later i'll have to tackle that subject properly, but for now a little touch-up will do. After that, 6 hours of wax on wax off and i'm pretty satiestied with my efforts: In 20 minutes a local tuning store Mamasan will open so i'll give them a call and place an order for EG6 BC Racing coilovers . It took quite a long time to decide between them and MeisterR's, some conversation about the subject can be found here but in the end what made the deal was that i can get a 30 day trial period from Mamasan with a 100% refund if i'm not satisfied, so i guess i don't have much to lose! Should take a few weeks before they arrive, so until then... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dexter Posted January 7, 2015 Author Share Posted January 7, 2015 How close where you power hosing! Maybe half a meter? Not any closer than usually, but you know how you move around sometimes the jet gets closer etc... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ammarbm Posted January 7, 2015 Share Posted January 7, 2015 Ouch that was a powerful jet washer.. But she is looking super clean now and we can see you have made a lot of effort.. BC coilovers sound great plus one month of trial can't really go wrong with that offer.. Looking forward to them fitted Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grant Posted January 7, 2015 Share Posted January 7, 2015 Sounds good chap! Hopefully they'll be what your expecting! Stiffer spring rates than the meisters IIRC .. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
