Quick clean last week

 

[RolyaT]

Brilliant. That is exactly what I plan to do in the new year, head to the mainland for one with 250+bhp. Did you post on here before one that had a bit of work done?

 

[white sport]

Goes really well I was shocked how quick it is, I just went from my pre facelift ep3 and the difference is night and day and my pre facelift was no slouch either

It's tegiwa pal. Whole shifter unit and solid bushes £75. Throw in the cables too, I switched to a dc5 setup

 

[Boydie]

Looks very clean and OEM - please keep it that way.

I like EP3's but when I see one decked out, rare looking jap alloys, loud AF exhausts, I cringe!

 

[Jonny_W]

I agree with @Boydie looks well but I wouldn't be removing a toda for a hks back box.

It's a spoon rep n1, it's off and all I got the b pipe shaped and a flange added to join the hks back box so no hacking etc

It will be staying the way it is the BC coilovers and suspension is all set up properly will not be touched, I had a mugen wing on my last 1 but decided against it on this 1 sticking with the sebion carbon spoiler, it's just needs recoated again

Heard them solid shifter bushes make a difference

 

[white sport]

New to rocker cover arrived
Rocker cover gasket kit
Centre cap decals
Badge decals
Just a freshen up few are faded
I'll get pics up when all fitted

 

[white sport]

Engine bay bolts arrived today little things make the difference

Who done the rocker cover?

I ask as there was not much "masking off" done, just make sure its totally clean underneath and free from anything that will mess up the engine.
The washers for top of rocker cover need a flat surface so just watch out for leaks around those.

Cheers chum
Just of eBay, the one on the car at the min is badly painted and rocket gasket leak cause it wasn't torqued up right, the red 1 above underneath is really clean it's all good, yeah know what u mean bout where the washers would go it is flat but I will sand them a bit if needed

 

[civic_tom]

Looks great mate, very clean. Bet it goes like the hammers too!
