Ah man! this is so weird. my cousin said he'd seen the car in canterbury today..

I sold this car to some scottish girl, over 400 miles away... 2 owners later its back within 20 miles of me again! still with the same stickers and wheels... find my build thread may uncover some more stuff you didnt already know.. yes i put the blitz kit on the front, apart from 1 pipe that was missing.. which i had to get made up.

Id like to come see my old car if thats ok with you?

First day i got her home.

Had to get this.

Put in my yellow rainbow bulbs, suuuuuuch good bulbs.. they look sick and give off great light.

Put in the civic rad, shitting hell this was a hard job! fucking hate intercooler piping!!! The rad sits as you can see a tiny bit lop sided but otherwise the intercooling pipe will hit the floor, but it's bleeded and the fan kicks in with no issues and cools the engine like normal.

Bleeding it all up

Then finished the rad and gave her the very first clean of ownership, the paint work comes out real nice! looks sick.

Did the air filter relocation, and holy shit, what a difference it makes in spool up time/sound and it pulls much harder. Such a great mod for any glanza/starlet owner to do! The flutter goes on for much longer and sounds 10 times more aggressive too.

After

But unfortunately my nice shiney brand new blue filter was too big to get the bumper back on haha, i first took out the grille to see if it made any difference, and it didn't. So i put on the old red filter and STILL the bumper only just about fits on haha! Good shit =p.gif

IMAG0650.jpg

Had to obviously cable tie the bumper on in the middle as there's no grille for the bumper screw to fix in to haha.

From outside view

Put the radiator in the correct place, put the hot pipe on, and also squeezed in the new shiney filter =p.gif.

Looks much better to look at when i open the bonnet smile.png.

I love the way the air filter looks, i think it looks SO aggressive! Very happy biggrin.png.

Managed to bag a full epexi exhaust system for £50 posted, granted it DID have a huge hole in it hence the price.. But still i thought £50 was insanely cheap haha. Well happy with that, anyway.. Some pics.

So decided to remove the yellow tint from the fogs, just like to change it up now and then so went back to normal of the clear fogs. Cleaner imo.

sadly, i doubt i will own the car too much in to 2013 as i'm doing my fitness training for the Royal Marines (hence the avatar picture), and will most likely be on toue by this time next year! However i will continue to do my thing to the car, sad times. But i have no driveway or garage etc to store it so it would be a waste for it to be sitting there! :(.

C+C welcome.
