- Mon Jan 14, 2008 8:04 pm #37607 few more pics of the car, bad weather,bad photographer (me) and the car needs a good buff! i shouldnt have bothered lol just cleaned in around the engine the other day, i had to paint the valve cover black as the previous owner had it painted bright green with a brush and he took out the orginal air box etc and had no aftermarket filter on or anything, so i just had that filter lying around so stuck it on for now as i dont want to spend much time around the d series engine because it will be removed anyways. few pics of my rear arches, bit dirty but no rust at all,inside of the car is a bit dirty, car needs a good tidy before the good weather arrives but i really like it and have been after a black coupe for a long time, again sorry about the rubbish pics and feel free to leave your comments :thumb:

- Tue Jan 15, 2008 1:40 am #37656 yea i have had a few stinkers in the past but when i seen the arches on this car and my boss said there were orginal i knew i had to have it. i didnt want to take a pick of the full rear quarter panels because inside the wheel arches are very dirty and i have crappy rims on at the minute, but tomorrow morning im going to pick up a set of 15" rims and im thinking im going to spray them satin black with a red lip, then i will post full quarter panel pics. not even a spec of rust were the rear bumper meets the quarter panel to.. as soon as i got home with the car i removed the rubbers from the arches and washed the dirt from the lip and greased the hell outa them. not going to let the rust get a chance because as we all know it can take over. :thumb:

- Wed Jan 16, 2008 10:57 pm #37895 i bought these 15 inch silver 10 spoke rims last night for £40 and even though they looked average silver i knew if i painted them satin black with a red lip they would be mean looking . so i got straight to sanding them last night when i got home at 10-15 pm and painted them this morning , very awkward to paint because of the 10 spokes but i managed to get into all the tricky bits ok.i was orginally going to leave the full rim satin black but as my car is black i thought i would do a bit of pin striping and do a red lip which in my opinion makes the wheels look sweet.all in all i have a set of 15 inch rims that look brand new and it only cost like £55 and thats including the rims lol i also went shopping today down to my buddys honda yard, he has just started a honda only car breakers. so i bought a d16z6 head which i also painted today as a trial run to see how it looks,then i will do it properly and i got a p28 ecu and a d16z6 distrubtor, then i went to my local parts shop and bought d16z6 spark plug leads and spark plugs, i had to order the gasket kit and timing belt and water pump as they had none in stock, as soon as they arrive il be attempting a mini me. :thumb:
