Silicone vacuum bungs ordered for inlet mani and throttle body. I'll try and upload a few pics over the weekend, especially if I make a start on the dress up kit. Cheers, Phil.

inspirational as always bud! Really enjoying reading the updates! Fingers will be crossed for MOT! Phil.

Agreed! I shall upload pics ASAP buddy! As always, plenty of photo updates via IG, #GaragEP Phil.

Thanks Jack! Parcel of goodies received from JDM EP - unbelievable service, packed one day, delivered the next. And Matt being the big softie that he is, has thrown in a few pressies too! Seems I now have a lot of work to be getting on with, get this dress-up kit installed! Huge thanks to Matt for the super service! Phil.

Thats a good question Glanzadude - I originally registered on the forums in 2004, but I had the car before that as by the time I had registered it already had springs, exhaust, wheels and a bucket seat. Maybe since 2003?? Or maybe even 2002 - I'd need to check the previous V5 from when it was registered to my dad as he bought it from a colleague before I owned it. Thanks chaps, looking forward to getting these few bits sorted, especially the suspension as it will be a significant step towards being MOT-fit. Think alot of the motivation is coming from the NorthStars camp at the mo - being involved in the local group discussions and going to meets in the daily just isnt cutting it any longer. Being on the road is still a while away as we're looking to move house this year, but it should be a good bit tidier and closer to an MOT this year. Big thanks as always to Joel and Jay for the continued guidance when considering parts and changes, keeping a buddy on track! Phil.

Excellent project! Nice to see one being treated to some TLC and restored to fully glory! Socks told me a mate had bought some of the new ZetaCRD+ coilies, now I know who it was! Ordering a set myself very soon, nice to see your pics above bud! Phil.

Who would have thunk it, I appear to have found some motivation. Amazing what watching Fast N Loud and having Jay and Joel post some photos from back in the day will do for a buddy!

There's nothing sitting pending approval. Did you follow the template or delete it? I've deleted a few over the last week that were posted and not followed the template. The template I'm afraid is non-negotiable. Throw it up again and keep the template in there and one of us will approve it ASAP for you. Cheers, Phil

10 years ago this would have sold in 20 minutes. Tops. Only the third one I have seen for sale after Iddy's and TTEStarlet's a few years back. Rob Bower needs to buy this and be done with his front end! Fact! :p Phil.

Oh I know what you meant buddy, I just got excited thinking about a 98 spec with added aero....admittedly not the most level of lips to which you would attach a big ass splitter, but still, with some cannards at least, would look evil! Looking forward to more progress dude! Phil.

98 spec front bumper and lip with aero would look awesome, think the more aggressive lip would make it look well!! Phil.

Were available for both 82s and 91s with only very minor differences between them. I paid £50 in 2008 for one, recently they are up into the £120 area. Phil.

There is one buried in here: http://www.speedhunters.com/2016/02/the-goofiest-and-perhaps-best-racing-on-earth/ Phil.

Haha no worries Hookie! Phil.

CJ Water Pump pulley sold and original post updated. Phil.

:thumbsup: :thumbsup: Phil.

Cheers dude, pleasure dealing with you! Phil.

Half way down, quad lamp with Advans, dodgey spoiler, and single wiper conversion at Fuji. Its in Japan, so it must be ok: http://www.speedhunters.com/2016/02/car-spotting-in-the-fuji-parking-lot/ Phil.

PM'd Alex. Original post cleaned of rails and pulley marked as provisionally sold. Speakers, Oz Titans, Cobras and radiator cap still available. Phil.

^^^^^^there is ALOT of truth in this statement!!!!!!!!! Phil.

@ Alex - I am a complete buffoon, I left it sitting in my garage. I will get this into work and wrapped up next week for you. Apologies, heads up my arse, some guy had me lugging a heavy ass box across the car park........ ....OH, speaking of Mr Jellybaby....lol - an 8 hour drive for a £100 set of wheels that need refurbished and tyres? lol! My brother (who owns them) lives in Ayr, Scotland. If we could get the wheels to him, would that be any easier for you? (I'm aware Essex isnt exactly within a quick spin of Ayr lol) Phil.

Nonsense, get the freaking boat over man! Wont cost alot to post, probably no more than £2 or £3. If you like I'll bring it into work this week and get it weighed in an envelope and let you know?? Also, I'm assuming its a bolt-on water pump pulley based on feedback on the forum - CJ isnt around anymore to confirm but pretty sure thats what it is. Not like I'm hard to track down if it aint though lol Cheers, Phil.

I am by no means a Honda guy, but by f**k that looks utterly savage on those new rims coupled with all the aero. Really liking how this looks bud. Phil.

new wheels?????????? how am I only learning of this now on the forum and not via the ridiculous whatsapp chats?!?! I hate you guys. Never tell me anything. Too busy picking on JJ! Phil.
