Honda Integra Type R (DC2)
Discussion
If you read Classic and Sports Car this month you'll find an article by my friend Will about three Type Rs. We shot this ages ago, way before my car was sprayed, so you can still see the crusty bonnet
The photographer, Luc, did an amazing job with some fairly mundane roads. At least we had good weather, though. It's nice to have this mag in my collection.
In other news, I'm going to be at the PH track evening at Brands next week, so say hello if you're there. Got to switch from the current Spoon exhaust to the OEM back box before then, because as great as the Spoon sounds it's really loud.
Had a great evening at the PH track evening at Brands Hatch. With the AD08 tyres and big brakes on my car, it always feels more at home on track than on the road. It feels bulletproof out there too, like I could keep hammering round all night.
My brother brought his new M4 and loved it, he was having a great time. At brands we're able to keep up with each other, me in the corners and then he pulls away on the pit straight

Have you got a Readers Cars thread going? If not; get on it ASAP
It's an EJ9 with a B16A2 swapped in. I've got a readers ride thread up with all my progress from when I bought it completely standard to how it is today.Have you got a Readers Cars thread going? If not; get on it ASAP

I've found myself looking at EK9s again; the prices are beyond daft!

Yes you have; and I commented in it... But I've a memory like a sieve haha...

Yeah it is a shame the way prices are going. Both with the cars and the parts for them. Hopefully it calms down a bit but I doubt it ever will with how rare they seem to be gettingI've found myself looking at EK9s again; the prices are beyond daft!
Nice Civic 
Agree on parts prices being silly, I really hope Honda decide to start making them in volume again like some other Japanese makers have started doing for popular models.
Here's the result of today's job - new cam cover. Yes, new - was still in the original packaging! I'll be refurbishing the old one and selling it on to recoup some of the cost.

Fitted the new wheel, feels great, only problem is I think I put it 1 notch over to the left so it's not quite straight! Will sort it out next weekend.
No leaks from the cam cover gasket either, so all good there too.
I ran alcantara wheels in a few previous Honda's; loved their feel etc... Just wasn't good for them that I use a lot of chalk in training and tended to get dull/flat spots. a good brush and they soon came back to life though
This was the wheel I ran in a previous BB8 Prelude 5th Gen Motegi
