Machine polish and some fancy wax on yesterday. I now no longer want to chop it in for a Mustang. Ask me again in a week.

I need to get mine out of the garage for a wash and a hoon, I keep thinking of selling it and buying a 5 litre XKR instead.

Picked up this cheap NC1 at the weekend - needing a good clean and some TLC but has a lot of service history and the rear sills have been repaired in the past and look solid so hopefully something fun for the summer

As collected


After a quick wash - still needs a polish as paint is very flat


Interior was a bit grubby but came up ok



Roof also treated to a good scrub and some soft top protector

Picked an 2.0 last weekend - to go with my matching CX-3 smile


Previously had an S2000 - I miss the VTEC, but RF is definitely more a daily driver and much more refined.
Also, find the RF much more fun at non licence risking speeds - dont have to keep hitting the VTEC to enjoy it!
The missus finds the seats to be much more comfortable too.

Here is mine.

Lots of goodies on it, but, no body that, splitters, spoilers etc.

All parts installed, lighter than the original stuff, apart from the roll bar obviously.

Wanted a very pure look.

I've spent some time, preparing second hand wings to go on our monza.




Unfortunately my racing green rattle cans aren't the right shade. I put a wing next to the old wing and erm... That's going to be a bit obvious

The old girl scrubs up ok. Having to sell it 10 months before I wanted to as the GR86 is arriving much earlier than expected.

Managed to find some rattle cans closer to Neo green, but not close enough. Doesn't matter as it will need redoing again, I took all day to get the old wing off, and get the new wing back on.
So many fked and rusty fasteners.
Almost like the spitfire I once owned.
Had to resort to the angry grinder.

Scratched the new paint as I was attempting to get it to fit.
Only managed to do one. The worst.
But worked out how to get the old discs off, so now has new discs and pads all round.

Also took 2 trips to the tip. I can actually see the floor of the garage.

Picked up a 2016 Sport Recaro 2.0 (#327/600) in Ceramic, yesterday. Only 20,000 miles.
