Nice! You used those adapters??

Anyway my car started to feel like there was a lose of power and not going anywhere. Felt like clutch was slipping and since I have 265k I figured I'll just swap out the clutch and start from there.

So I bought a whole bunch of parts and dropped it off at my shop for one of the other techs to do the work for me since I'm getting married this week. :) don't have the time to do it myself..

1- engine and transmission fluid change
2- front and back pads and rotors (drilled and slotted)
3- brake and clutch line flush
4- right front upper control arm
5- right side axle
6- clutch
7- rear main seal and axle seals

Figured might as we'll lay it down and get it all done at once.

Another Small update.

Got my clutch and brakes installed, along with replacing the bwr lugs with oem ones. And dipped the roof to see how it would look black and i kind of like it.

on to the pics.

Looks great 8-)

But now you have to do the boot to match the roof and bonnet :D

When you've finished with your wife's boot, obviously :roll:

HAHA, and i don't think i'll do the car boot :p i need to replace 2 of my tires and that will most likely be it this year.

Going to look for a CRV for the winter and collect suspension parts for the lude while its parked.
