I love it!!!! Looks real nice, if you get a chance source some clear indicators for the front bar and the side panels. I have them on mine having swapped them over from the ornage ones. Mine is standard silver, and with the clear lights looks very nice. Black and clear would look primo. But the car as it is looks real good. Money well spent IMO!

mate i like the paint colour only two things about the car i dont like (and these are personal preferences so no offence) are the height it looks too high to me and i dont like white rims on any car especially one thats sitting as high as that.

the black looks good tho. did you get anything colour coded? like bump strips and the like?

dont mean to be rude but do you mind if i ask how much approx it cost and what they did for the bucks?

Happymeal : Clear indivators would be good. Could you please tell me where I can find some?

Silver GTS-T : It's Honda Back with a blue pearl on top.

McNamg : I totally agree about the height thing and as soon as I can afford it I'll get some adjustable suspension for her.

The paintjob set me back $4000. They prepped it and painted it.

There was a dent in the bonnet which they fixed and they found some rust when they took my rear view mirrors off so they fixed that too. They painted inside all my doors, Colour coded all the bumpers and strips and mudflaps but not the roof racks and they didn't paint underneath the bonnet or the engine bay.

They also painted my brakes red. I'm fairly happy with it.

Of the three decent paintshops near me they were the only one to quote me under $8000 so I didn't have alot of choice.

Thanks for the feedback guys.

I'm with Glenn (mcnamg) here, and don't like the white wheels, and the height's a bit of an issue too, but considering you're already contemplating the suspension change, there's no need to go on about that.

Other than that, it looks like either a hot-looking panel van (with those super dark rear tints) or a Mafia/Yakuza-spec wagon. (Don't worry, the panel van comment is meant to be a compliment!!!)

If it was my car, I'd be throwing on some Black Chrome or Hyper Bronze coloured wheels.

Love it! Nice choice of colour!

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By Gareth87 · Posted

      I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.

      So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
