Looking good, love the Recaros in mine; so nice!

How long did you run without camber arms on the Eibach springs? Was the camber massively out?

[Butter Face]

Hi mate.

I only went a month or so without the camber. There's a before and after of the alignment below to show you how out it was!

Before


After


Only an after of the Front but it was way out like the rear!!

[MyVTECGoesBwaaah]

Thanks for the pictures.

Always see people say you need camber arms, but not seen any pictures of before and after so was curious to see how much it is out - So that was interesting!

Will keep an eye on this thread, see what else comes up.

New seats and door cards are in, lovely interior.

Had the door handles etc all painted in gloss black to match the centre console.

Looks good

[seany87]

Looks good with the premier seats and doorcards.. if you don't mind me asking, how much did they set you back???

Keep up the good updates!

[Butter Face]

Well, they weren't cheap, but I got a cracking deal with the seats and doorcards delivered to my door. I can't say exactly how much. Lol

I love the interior now, the new seats and gloss black details lift it from a boring Jap hatchback interior!

[seany87]

Are you willing to PM me? I have been pondering getting the same seats and door cards for my black prefacelift but wondered whether it would suit or not. I really like the look of them.

I;ve only just noticed but are you the same Butterface as in the PHarming Clash of clans... clan?

Mines just come back from Honda so has had a nice valet! The inside is pretty clean anyway. The outside hasn't been done for a few weeks but in this weather i do not see the point but i hate driving around in a car that's dirty!!

Sorry for the terrible phone pic!

Yes, tis I! Snap on the interior, maybe you should get a wheel retrim!

Is that alcantara then? Mines in pretty good nick but i have never cleaned it with a leather cleaner... i really should!

[Butter Face]

Yes mate, Royal Steering wheels Retrimmed it in black alcantara. I'm thinking of retrimming in red alcantara but I'm not 100% on that.

I've purchased some red seatbelts too, not sure on how I'm going to make them work as yet!

Nah not for me, i think the red would stand out a little too much and just remind me of those pink fluffy steering wheel covers you see it girls Ford Ka's! But it not my car is it

Seatbelts could be good, you just need to find yourself some red JDM mats!

Received - thank you.

[Butter Face]

Well I haven't done a great deal over the winter months but my Seatbelts got finished (made for me by a local coach trimmer, he's very good!) and fitted..




I've been wrestling with the idea of selling the car, but I do love it, I just want more power.... So..... I've started buying the kit to supercharge it!

I've got the supercharger (C30-94) and all the parts to a TTS top mount sport kit. I just need injectors, KPro and a mapping session. Not going to happen overnight but I may get it done by summer. TTS say 265bhp at the wheels (roughly) with that standard kit with space for more power later!

[MyVTECGoesBwaaah]

Just recognised your username on CTRO on the door sill thread, got some waiting to go on here as well

[Butter Face]

Yes, tis me! I don't post much on there tbh.

Looking forward to those CF sill covers!!

[Butter Face]

Had a dyno run this morning to get a base figure before I go ahead with the supercharger (should be around summertime)



204.9bhp @ 8100 rpm. Quite happy with that! I know dyno figures are all subjective but I've used this same one for years and it's to get a comparison once the work is done!

Also fitted my 'carbon fibre' sill covers from a guy in the CTR forum. I think they look quite nice!

[seany87]

Very nice baseline figure there. I got 196 from mine at 122k miles with just an unsilenced B-pipe.

I like the sill cover - can you provide a link to the sale thread??
