Ju5ta5 is going to have a look as well so its first come. I only had them on the car to go to Performance autoworks from my house so rich could put on my AEM 330mm and the ATR calipers. otherwise this would have been my setup.

blackdiamond.com these are from the combi range.

£95 for the pads and discs combined. Hamp OEM.

Wrinkle red manifold heat shield.

Post by honda-hardy » Sat Jul 19, 2014 9:44 pm

with the engine about to go into performance autoworks on the 16th of august for its refresh rebuild, i thought id give the heat shield a bit of attention as it was starting to look a bit scabby.

Image

so i popped it into the sand blaster and took the worst off. wasnt too worried about the rust pitting so didnt go too deep with the blaster.

Image

a few layers of high temperature primer.

Image

and a nice layer of fresh wrinkle red.

Image

Bit of a change since i got the lude.

following a disasterous dyno for some, i would like to mention that my lude did actually manage to measure a comparitively accurate result compared to last years dyno reading. this year measured at 211.2 bhp compared to last years result of 209.3 so not at all bad.

Big thanks to @spydor for the advice at the national meet regarding the condition of my drivers seat.

and after applying a rub over with some 600grit sand paper.

now to tackle the worn leather.

and a coat of leather treatment later.
