Nice wheels! Looks great on your hatch.
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.

- Tue Mar 10, 2009 1:57 am #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,

- Tue Mar 10, 2009 1:58 am #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.

- Tue Mar 10, 2009 2:01 am #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.

- Mon Aug 17, 2009 11:20 am #138249 Well a small update is,
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,



Cleaned, sanded and primered,





Sprayed and drying out,









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

- Mon Aug 17, 2009 9:20 pm #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.
