Cheers mate. Still got that arch roller?

I have yea lol. Not sure who's got it at the moment though.

I maybe in touch then if all doesn't go to plan.

So the fronts decided to turn up in the end after a substantial wait. I decided to go for a full set in the end as the colour difference is quite noticeable between the old set and the newer rear ones. I still wanted to run a staggered setup for now and see how that goes. If need be, I'll go down the route of relocating the engine loom, but I'm happy with the ride height as it is to be honest.



I opted for the same specs as before but with the updated version of Work's CR Kai:

Work Emotion Ultimate Kiwami
17 X 9
et 17





Centre caps and new nuts/locking nuts.





New setup will be:

17 X 9
et17
235/40/17

18 X 10.5
et 22
265/35/18

All I need to do now is test fit the rears, fingers crossed they'll fit without any dramatic arch work. If not, so be it and just swap the tyres over from the fronts.

Also bought a pair of new top mounts for the fronts as one was knocking slightly and Mr MOT wasn't very impressed last time.



A few quick pics from Japfest recently. Cracking show with some awesome cars on display.

Cheers mate. Hopefully will be fitted soon. Just debating whether to get overfenders or a bigger roll and flare for the rears.

Thanks mate. Old wheels will be up for sale soon.

So I finally got around to putting the new rear tyres on the 18's. Was quite pleased there wasn't a massive amount of stretch considering the RSR's come up slightly squarer than other wheels. I'm just weighing up whether to buy new front tyres for the new Work's or just swap the old ones over. I can then sell the wheels and tyres as a package instead of just the two tyres. We'll see I suppose.







Also picked up an Apexi GT Spec as the Buddyclub Spec 2 was limiting me to what tracks I could go on(which was none)



Also I needed a new daily as the S14 was becoming a bit of a ballache to be honest. It will be going into storage over the winter.

Always wanted one and I had the opportunity to get one.







It has a few choice mods on it with 76k on the clock(miles). I know a few people have owned these on here and they are such good fun. The grip is amazing and handles any B-road with ease. Well chuffed!

Nice teg, owned an EP3. Loved it for about a year, until i drove a 450bhp skyline.

That prompted the sale lol

Jealous of the daily! I ran an ATR as a daily for a while; Hondas are so different to our cars, but tonnes of fun.

Cheers Guys. The 200 is my speed fix anyway, whereas the DC5 is an all round car that ticks every box.


Apexi GT Spec fitted with an oil/filter change. Mobil 1 Motorsport 10w60.



I can actually hear the engine now The Buddyclub was awesome though.

Next is to finally swap the wheels over and potentially flare the rear arches depending on fitment issues.
