Heres the big update i've been waiting to drop :) Full Cusco 7 point roll cage. will be getting it powdercoated white eventually to match the Ultra racing brace bars but may just rattle can it myself!


Super pleased with it and cant wait to get it into the car!


Only down side of getting the cage was it took a huge bite out of the funds put aside for the dent mending........but plans are to have the car on the road for Christmas!

Motion, the spacers are 20mm front - 25mm rear iirc? Carbon Goodies have talked about fenders in the past but i know Ricks got a shed load of Evo bits etc in the pipeline and i think thats slowing other projects down.......Im so keen for these bonnets though mate just hope we can get a couple more people onboard!



Soooooooooooooooo...........This weekend i had fobbed off the girlfriend and free'd up my extensive diary t get the cage rubbed down, painted and fitted.


Trust me to pick the worst fucking weekend weather wise for the last 20 years to try, but thats how i roll!


Anyway managed to get most of the prep work done between showers saturday and made a number of visits to Halfrauds for the paint.

Ended up having to get Nissan paint because they only had 2 cans of Toyota 040 white in stock!


Next little mission was to build a makeshift spray booth.....out of some of mums sheets!

Not much of an update but i wanted to get some pics of the cage all fitted in the day light............ended up only taking this one because i got distracted fitting the newest ebay addition Crystal headlights :yahoo:

During a visit from mr T-Dog we decided the engine bay was far too cluttered with the remains of the 4efe set-up, HIDs and stereo wiring, so started removing anything that didn't seem to be doing anything and thinking about re routing some unsightly bits and pieces (Toby works for Toyota i wouldn't have attempted this on my own).


Because i've now fitted the Crystal headlights and because they look like shit in the bay......out came the HIDs along with Glanza radiator!

Decided to relocate the battery to the boot so will be getting the bits together for that over the next few weeks.


With the front of the car off and rad etc out the way it became apparent that the block and gearbox were in a bit of a funky state so i spent sunday covered in oil and paint!

Finally got around to fitting the green hoses i've had sitting about but didn't manage to get the civic rad on due to not having a grinder handy and the OE mount needing a cut!

DEI heat wrap ordered for the manifold and a couple other small updates to come! :)
