    where did u get the rear wing bud?

    is it official Honda or aftermarket?

    fill me in ... toying with idea ... but not spending the crazy money honda is looking for one

    nice

    and no, dont paint ur wheels white

    what are you thinking about doing mate ... going down that route is very difficult and requires a lot of stripping etc if u are going to do it right

    GOOD LUCK

    i have a few bits planned this year, once they are done i cant see me doing much more

    i know its worrying stuff!! i just quite fancied a slight change to the appearance of the wagan!

    got the nsx-r spoiler of a guy on nsxcb website snapped it up within an hour of him advertising it! ;) and yep its a replica but it looks dam well imo..

    was thinking of a slight suspension drop, the roof and mirrors black, and the wheels and headlights cw white.. i could probably wrap the roof, mirrors and headlights so theyre changeable to standard spec again if i wanted...

    white wheels is abit brave though and getting a set of recaro pole positions and a nsx-r front bonnet will cost £££££ :(

    LOL!

    imho your car is still very nice indeed ...

    ahhh you LURKER ... for someone who has NEVER registered you done well! :)

    never even saw it!

    toying with the idea meself ... the rear wing is 'lost' but not sure i want to miss the big rear brake light ... but definitely thinking about it

    imo, if you are gonna do the colour chage ... WRAP first ... to ensure you like it ... be my way to go for sure

    with regards to suspension drop, WHY would you interfere with the car's superb handling???? ... unless you were opting to buy the Type R set up which is serious ££££££££'s.

    i just dont get the dropping man .. it has an impact on drive and it will take a VERY good mech to do a proper job on it ... personally i think you are mad to even consider it ... but its ur car

    bonnet will be pricey but they do come up from time to time ... you could order from the US etc mate

    not so sure of the white wheels on red mate ... i am actaully thinking of going back to silver later on in the year ... certainly will be changing my wheel colour at some point. likely go 17's all round

    key upgrades for me is your equivalent abs setup, manifolds change and a few other bits

    must take a run up to see the wing. you got it on the car yet?

    btw mate ... mite be a good idea to get your crank pulley changed ... if you have never done it ... you could have a time bomb on your hands

    hope to catch up with you soon

    aww no dont you worry boyo i got the BIG service done at honda boucher road there in novermber cost me £1600...
    every belt possible changed, water pump, spark plugs, and all usual fluids and filters even air con regassed !! car needs nothing for years now it really hasnt went soo well pulls like a train now!! :)

    yep nsx-r spoiler is fitted on her aswell and looks well, it helps set the rear of the car off but now im thinking it needs more black to match the spoiler.. running out of money though roll on the end of the month lol!

    call up anytime you want, i know what your saying about the suspension but they look unreal with a slight drop and id be keeping the standard suspension too if i changed my mind.... decisions, decisions!!!

    glad to hear u got the service done. peace of mind for sure mate!

    good stuff re the spoiler ... looked at a few yellow cars with it on ... looks decent

    yeah tell me about the costs man ... abs upgrade in terms of parts wiped me last year ... manifolds saved monies over crimbo etc ... now have to pay to get em installed and get the abs installed this year too ... see what pans out

    yeah will arrange a call out with u at some point

    re the dropping ... possibly a small amount, but the state of our roads man ... and the speed bumps outside ur pad .... !!!!! :(

    i will get down at some point soon with you, but may not have the nsx ... interested to see the rear wing

    ack aye, you need to keep them in tip top condition to get best out of em ... your car needed that service ... she is getting old now! :)

    i bought her at a fair price to begin with and as part of deal the belts etc were all done so that save a few £'s.

    the biggest killer was the re-spray as you know ... but yeah my car needed some work but she is nearly finished in terms of the big bits now ... hopefully have these upgrades done in the next few months

    as soon as i do will have her over

    yeah but i plan to drive mine ... so my value may be hit! :)
