seats are the dogs.. flocked dash planned?
Awesome car, would love to get a charger for my new car.
Cheers guys.
Peest.
Yes. Flocking or alcantara trimming is in the pipeline.
Does anyone know of a decent flocking company, out of interest....
Stoo
Suffolk Flocking Services.
I used flockit! in liverpool. Very good, prices too. Was a few years ago now though.
Only thing they did a bit wrong , although it could just be my bad prep - was the fuse diagram on the cover got the glue treatment ; when removing ended up ripping some off it away.
I'll check both out.
Cheers guys.
Not even 100% sure what I want doing yet.
That's an odd looking kit on a nova
Surprising what can be done in a shed in Hampshire ;)
Charger support brace turned up today... YAYYY
Booked in for a Competiton Clutches Stage 1 Cluthc, Fresh Gearbox oil and Clutch Fluid next week too.
Also have the opportunity to buy a Mugen Cage.....
Ordered these seat brackets.

Took some researching but found what I was looking for via the S2Ki forum :)
Vs a Buddyclub super low bracket ;)
http://i1035.photobucket.com/albums/...r/IMG_1654.jpg
A company called F1Spec in the good ol' US of A
£75 delivered for 8 brackets :)
Should see them sat a lot lower.
Popped in to see Uncle Tommy G today too, officially booked in next week for a new Competition Clutches Stage 1 clutch, fresh box fluid and clutch fluid change :)
Got my plug 'n' play RC injector clips thru today too courtesy of Tuf on CTRO :D
Not long to go now, starting to plan ahead for some time off with my mate to get it fitted. Looking at mid-march.
Just waiting on a new belt and I think that's it!
Once mapped, I'm aiming for the 300bhp mark.
I think that's an easily attainable figure.
Not really into Hondas, HOWEVER, this is one of the few I actually like :).
Awesome WIP so far, will be an absolute animal with the charger on.
Edit: Just read above.. nice power output.. Curious, is it 'quicker' than Lee's new Type-R??
LIkey :)
Yes, very much so....Quote:

Mine is running c240+bhp at the moment, and has no interior
Mine is plenty up on standard power but heavier.
I bought a different car in the end Stoo rather than the standardish silver one.
What does it have bud??
Ignore me, just seen you're thread!!
Nice spec!!!
Got the car for £4k, bargain? :confused: lolQuote:

I don't know about even, as mine has better gear ratios and a factory LSD, lighter weight, better brakes etc etc
£4k!!!!!
Its worth half of that in parts alone at used prices!!!
Toda manifold and decat (£450)
Kakimoto cat back exhaust (£300)
Tein superstreet coil overs with EDFC controller. (£400)
K100 Ecu (£500+)
ITG induction kit (£200ish)
RBC inlet manifold polished and ported to 70mm (£250)
Mugen pedals and front lip (£300 maybe for both)
You could put it back to OEM and make £1500 on it!
Does the Integra have shorter ratios still? I find this has really short ratios compared to the Nova with the F28. 80mph in 6th is about 4k rpm!!Quote:

Its a good price.
I'm not sure the Ratios are THAT different, but maybe the final drive....
Iknow alot of EP3 owners have fitted DC5 ratios/boxes though
Yeah mine is exactly that, 4000RPM = 80mph.
c.20mph per 1000RPM, so theoretically, at 9000RPM i could be doing 180mph flat out....
Dropped it off at uncle toms today.
Collect on Friday.
New clutch-tastic.
:D
Well, I'm back after a week of smashing up the Marin Trail and surrounding area of North Wales on my other passion, My beautiful Trek Top Fuel :)
First thing I did, Pick up my mail!
Gator back belt 8) 8)
Also, the final bolt I have been waiting for for the JRSC Conversion.
I now have everything I need! Getting closer to the day it's fitted now!
This afternoon I also went to TGM to pick up my beast after leaving her there on Monday.
Many thanks to Tom and the team for a great service yet again.
The clutch feels so much better already! So much more bite, and a lighter pedal!!
Can't wait til it's bedded in properly and I can see what she can handle :)
I do like this car :)
Cheers Simps :)
I was going to wash it today but the weather is pump, so I took all the rear trim out instead.
All I have in the rear now is the rear 1/4 surround trim and the spare wheel/jack/toolkit (til i get some tyre weld!)
The rear 1/4 trim is coming out tomorrow probably, when I will also wash her. Depending if Rodders comes round or not.
I promise i'll get some pics up soon.
Where is your front plate now? Missing in all the recent pics.
Really does want one of these :(
Do it mike.
Fancy doing me some Carbon bits???
Im gonna get a DC2 once I get bored of this pos Corsa Ive got.Quote:

I'd like a Fuel pump cover, Mirrors, Mirror Covers(Internal), Fuel filler door, Front H Badge surround, rear door cards........
Weighed the wee beasty today
1160KG with 1/4 tank of fuel and driver (85ish KG)
Dude your living it up ant you!
Fair play if you can why not i guess, i would love to be able to..
Looks amazing too dude, really like it, never been a fan but you just changed my mind! lol
Scott
I don't know about living it up..., just enjoying myself mate :)
Glad i've been able to change your mind :) :)
Well you raf boys must get more danger money then my mate in the army did lol
Yeah i wouldnt mind a nice honda, always liked the s2000 but these are nice
I don't get danger money.....
I just get a good wage, although I may not have a job next year..
Decided this afternoon, as much as I love the seats, They are simply a PITA to live with really.
Awesome support and comfrot, but awkward to get in and out of.
Also, if I come to sell the car, the Recaro's are a big selling point...
So, they are out, and the Recaro's go back in tomorrow :)
Recaros back in.
Anywho..
I said I was going to clean it on thurs, so I did.
Please note this was not including any cleaning of interior, exterior plastics or glass, or the exhaust.....
Pics, prob too many :D
Stoo
