Hi guys,
So as i'm a picture whore i thought i'd start a project thread from when i bought it to now, so when i do more and more i don't keep posting new threads all the time!
The idea behind the car was to have something fun to drive at the weekend but also be a good daily driver, it didn't make sense to most ... A 2 seater raw sports car as a daily driver? But i enjoy it and enjoy driving it all the time.
Anyway, the spec so far...
Meister R Coilovers
SSR Professor SP1's - White centres, polished dish
OEM Hardtop
Carbon Honda badges
OEM front spliter
Driveshaft spacers
Gold wheel nuts
Ferodo DS2500 pads
OEM disks
Motul 5.1 Fluid
That's it for now, my immiediate plans are to get ASM rep front and rear bumpers from the states, J's racing exhaust system, OEM spoiler.
Future i'd like to mase turbo it, ASM front and rear fenders, 17x9.5 CE28Ns and 265/35 tyres on all corners.
From the advert, 60k, 2 owners, immaculate throughout.
Went and bought these wheels for it, Works VSXX they were badly corroded so had them refurbed in black. which is shown furthur down.
Refurbished
Had to roll the arches
Coilovers fitted and geometry set to squeeze the wheels in
Wheels fitted
OEM Front lip fitted
How it sits now with the hardtop and new wheels

Much prefer it on the second set of rims, looks fantastic with the hard top too
How much does the hard top itself normally go for?

Hardtops usually go for around 1k with the fitting kit which is needed also.
Feels like a proper coupe with it on! nearly sold it in the summer.
