Evening!
So ive been pretty busy this week I took the calipers off to find that there seized FML came to mind so ive been sorting them out, s2000 seats in and spraying parts up. Luckily enough my awesome mechanic Karlos sorted me out, he had a spare pair of calipers which were not seized and saved my bacon. So whilst the calipers were off I decided to take my front coilovers off to swap over the springs which I'd be meaning to do for a while but had not got round to it the springs I were running were 18k on the front and were a bit hard when it came to the island roads which are really bad at the moment so I had ordered some 8k which should hopefully do the trick and also having them on there softest setting.
Cleaned up the forks whilst i was at it, to protect them and make them aesthetically more pleasing to the eye, not that you see them.
Oh i also got the s2000 seat in , looks and feels cool! Needed a bit of man handling when getting the bolts to line up, ofcourse i was the man to do it, so no problems there lol
So with my make shift spray booth in my dads shed i got to work spraying my calipers, carriers in gold to match my rocker cover and my front strut. I found a honda civic grey that I hadn't used in a while which was from an old uni project so I used that on my strut instead of the horrible you've been tangoed orange that is was currently( it should be a crime) came out not too bad.
So then these arrived in the post, some gather speaker covers and centre part wrapped in suede , i thought it would be a nice touch inside. Just have to work out how they go in now, that will be a fun day.
Then after waiting another couple of days, these arrived.....
So i could now put everything back together on the car and get those arches wax oiled, The guy at the body shop only had clear wax oil so thats what i have so you cant really see it in the picture. But ive used a 500ml can on the front two arches and have another for the rear. Heres a pic of it all bolted on \/ .......I just need to get this shitty cataylic converter back on and wax oil the rear arches before i can put it into MOT. But im loving the stiffness of the new brake pedal due to the braided lines, cant wait to get driving again.
So next update should be an mot lol how boring!
