    Nice and Clean

    Gave the old girl a proper valet today. Also fitted diadem indicator bulbs. Look near mint. Ready for her full wheel and centre cap refurb next week! Even treating her to a fresh set of tyres as well.

    Sorting the rust!

    Cheers! Yeah hopefully it will keep it protected. I just hand painted them on the car. As long as you clean them up properly and give them a couple of coats they come up brilliantly. I used a small fine artists brush to paint them. No need for calliper paint. Hammerite is best for the job...

    Sorting the rust!

    I've spent the day taking my car apart chasing rust! I did notice the rot on the bulkhead when I bought the car a few months a go. We were graced with a dry sunny weekend, so I grabbed at the chance to sort the rust out properly before the winter really kicks in. It wasn't as bad as I...

    Induction Kits 1.8vtec sport

    This is massive noob question! Are they any specific requirements for the 1.8 induction kit? Can you actually buy a kit or could you just purchase a universal kit with all the joints off eBay? Would that fit correctly (with persuasion) lol. Do they perform better with closed induction or better...

    Headlight adjustment

    Thanks. I do try to keep her tip top. It does help that it's low milage with only one previous owner though. Here are some pics of the screwdriver I used alongside screwdrivers you shouldn't use. It should fit perfectly. Not to loose and obviously don't force it. DO NOT USE ANY OF THESE...

    Headlight adjustment

    As promised here are some pics of my headlights, both sides so you can clearly see where to find the area to insert the correct sized Phillips head screwdriver. Driver-side first... From the top... Closer image. Insert the screwdriver in the open hole and turn... carefully! This will raise or...

    New JDM Gear knob

    Gave the old girl a treat. The original knob had warn heavily so I got this JDM, solid aluminium gear knob. Looks great!

    Headlight adjustment

    Yes I'll take some pics and upload then. It has to be the exact size screwdriver as well. You can feel if it wants to turn or not. Until it feels like it wants to go... don't force it. I also found that with mine they had never been adjusted and we're a little stiff. Try and turn it gently...

    Headlight adjustment

    Yea you have to use the correct size screwdriver placed into the headlight adjusters and wind it either way up or down. Be careful not to destroy the plastic gears inside. There is a DIY walk through for this. I adjusted mine the other day from following this guide...

    Knocking from rear

    I had no access to either but I think the heat generated by using my angle grinder helped for the final struggle.

    Knocking from rear

    Thanks mate! I got a lot of self satisfaction from doing it! Weirdly they are a cheaper brand I got off of eBay. Link below. http://m.ebay.co.uk/itm/HONDA-ACCORD-1-8VTEC-2-0-2-2-2-3-LS-ES-98-2002-2-REAR-ANTI-ROLL-BAR-DROP-LINKS-/230223832816?nav=SEARCH

    Headlight Restoration

    Yea I sealed mine after I polished them up with some Quixx Headlight sealer which I had left over from when I done my Corolla.

    Exhaust manifold

    Those were my thoughts as well. When I decided to have a stainless exhaust on my Corolla Tsport I went for CAT back simply because as you say for a complete system its very expensive for a very little in return. CAT back system it is then, nice noise, nice back box tailpipes and no rot.
