Seats

Anyways a bit has actually happened, new seats, rear disc swap, bushings and soon to have track tyres, especially with my next (2nd) track day coming up in under 2 weeks!! So I'll give you a quick run down with whats happened with pics

So I managed to pick up some Sparco Ultra fixed back bucket seats for pretty cheap, fitted them up but I didn't like the feel of them, because I'm a skinny person it hurt my back, had a weird lumbar. So I sold these for a lot more than I paid. Kinda didn't want to sell due to these being discontinued, but I needed to as they felt horrible. Heres how they looked fitted:

Next I used the money I got from selling them that night to go straight to someone else's and pick up some shmick red Recaro SR3 from the Integra DC2R. They were kinda dirty but thats fine by me, mint conditon on the bucket and sooooo comfy!

Bushing kit

Few weeks later my bushing kit had all arrived, finally! Its been hell since March with destroyed bushings all round, squeaking like hell, car swaying along the highway at 80km+ ... That also meant I could finally install my Intega DA9 rear disc conversion because the RTA bushing was here.

So I dismantled my car and dropped all the parts off to my mechanic whom pressed the bushings in, and then picked them up 2 days later and installed the rest. The rear conversion wasn't that hard at all, the whole thing about dropping the fuel tank for hand brake line isn't true, I didn't touch the tank one bit.

I didn't really take any photos of the new bushings in, was too excited to install them all, but I ran into a problem trying to hook the new handbrake cables up to the pivot point inside. The right was too short and was hard to reach, so I left the handbrake unbolted under the car and managed to fit it, but then just cable tied the line so it wouldn't move around:

With this all done I could then finally get a wheel alignment for track, 0 toe all round, -2.5 camber front -1.5 camber rear:

Gauges

Track day in under 2 weeks, I need some gauges as I'd like to monitor my oil temp + pressure and water temp whilst I hunting down the best time I can achieve! Bought some Defi gauges, have not yet fully wired them up, only so they power and turn on. Sandwhich plate arrived today as well. Once in I'll try and get a video for you all of the start up sequence, they are pretty cool! Keen to have them working. EDIT: Best bit is, these are actually 'fakes' however 9yrs later still running fine and still exact same as values on the Hondata :P

Bonus

One thing I've always loved about the EF8/EF9 SiR is the door decal. Ages ago I added a small one for the 16 valve dual carb one, but it's no where near as cool. So I decided to create one for the 'SOHC CARB - Old School Fuel Injection', love how it turned out!
