Ultra light wheels! I nearly bought one set. Unfortunately the
offset was 25!!
What happened to your radiator stay bro?


The rad i was using wouldnt fit with the new manifold so i had to put in the half rad for the time beeing,

I have a dual core alluminum one in the back of the car,

I just have to move the bottom rad supports over to fit it right,

The lack of a garage and the amount of rain we get over here doesnt help to get things done.

#101828 Picked up some new shocks.

Thanks to local Lad Ollie Burke sorted me out with ITR rear LCA's and Rear ITR ARB.

Well i fitted them yesterday,
Only had one really stiff bolt on the last shock i was doing,

I tried them on the hardest setting last night, way way too hard, but they it does feel alot better going in and out of corners,

2 min job to adjust the damper settings,

The ITR ARB is alot thicker than the standard one,

I have to get the rubber brackets that fix it to the rear sub frame, since its thicker the old ones wont fit around the bar,

#101829 Had to do a bit of work on the brakes today,

My drivers side rear caliper was sticking and wouldnt wind back so it got the bin and i put a new one on,
Brakes were a bit soft after so i had to bleed them today,

Had to change over the front 2 calipers as the last lad who put them on put them on the wrong side,
And i was wondering why i had no pedal when the bloody things were full of air.

Best do it yourself!!
2 17mm bolts and a 14 for the brake hose and off she comes,

Once again big thanks to Ollie Burke (Honda Heavan) in Galway fof letting me use his lift and giving me a hand with bleeding the brakes,

Couple of pics from earlier.

#101830 The only other things on the list for me at the moment are,

I have ordered a k20 ps pump, so this is my main aim for the next couple of weeks,

Have to get a smaller pulley and belt to fit it and also get a high pressure line made up,

Hopefully things go smoothly,

After i get that sorted i was thinking about going down the lines of doing an ITR dash conversion, see, like there is a good bit of work involved so ill have to wait and see.

I got another set of wheels for the car,

Fancied a change from the white Weds sports,
So i picked up a set of ITR 96 spec wheels from none other than Olly burke @ http://www.honda-heaven.net/
He did me a good deal as usual and since i didnt need the paint 100% too,

I intedended on spraying them so here are some pics,

Bit dirty when i first picked them up,

Image

Cleaned, sanded and primered,

Image

Image

Sprayed and drying out,

Image

Image

Image

Image

Pretty pleased on how they came out,

Im waiting for spacers before i can put the front ones on as they wont clear the front brakes must be a different offset sompared to the other wheels,

Ill stick some photos up hopefull tmrw with them on the car,

Weds sports are up for grabs too :D

#138370 Dang bro! Looks great! I love the look of a k20 in an EG. And i love the recaros. You need to nab some different colored locking lug nuts for your rims though. I Think it would be a nice little touch : )

I prefer them in the black,

They look alot better in teh flesh than the white ones ever did.

Easier to clean too.

I am going to change my lugs to extended ones so ill chang the wheels nuts then,
Its hard to get a nice open ended set in Ireland and any on teh net are too expensive on postage costs to deliver here.
