Thumbs up Some More Of Mine "Aug 09"

Well after a lot of work over the last month or so I'm back on track and where I wanted to be earlier this year, better late than never I say

I have recently had the front bumper washer jets removed and fillled plus had a repair job on my door so I have now gone over the car with the G220 polishing Machine https://www.scoobynet.com/car-care-3...0-results.html it was a long tough couple of weeks from start to finish but I got there in the end thank goodness.

Anyway there are a few up to date under bonnet shots here as well.....













A nice sunny day with a few clouds helps no end







Just awaiting my Stickers for the fog light covers to arrive, I don't feel this colour likes bare fog light covers it needs a contrast.







Cloudy




















Got to have a few odd angles in the bunch















Engine bay as it stands now...























Finally.....



Only one more mod planned this year

How's that

Stunning..absolutely stunning. Liked the look of that tread pattern on your wheels, all I could make out was Parada. Are they any good? gonna be after some new rubber in the next few months so was just wondering. Thanks either way, nice clean engine bay too

Yokohama Parada's

They feel ok to me, I find then firmer than the Toyo's I have had in the past the side walls are stiffer I think. Not done many miles with them as yet they have not been on the car long..... instead of buying new tyres you should price up a wheel package and maybe sell what you have or keep them for a spare set

That's what I did last time and I've still got the standard wheels it came with so I'm not really after a third set
I've got 17" Speedline Pro-WRC alloys so I'm definately keeping them, had them for a good price but came with Kenda Kaiser (215/40ZR17)tyres which squeel like a bi*ch through the tight corners.
I had heard that Yokohama tyres were generally not good on the roads as they do provide good grip it just doesn't last very long before you need to get new ones. Hope that's wrong because that's a nice looking set of tyres.

Cheers Mat.

Yes I do think they wear quicker but the car's not my daily driver so not worried about that side of things... I think I did about 3.5k in it last year lol

Running around in a Diesel Focus at the minute, it's simply a to b as they say. Are you still in your Honda there ?
