Yep the es poly ones will probably need a press or vice and sockets to get them in place

so im planning on doing that next year along with the whitleline arb and 5th gen wishbones and koni shocks if the old ones need replaced so it will be one big job - just the way i like it

Should make the handling on your car even better than it is and you already know I love how your car handles. Between us for this year and next I reckon we could have built a prelude from the ground up

cheers @newkid youve certainly helped me rebuild my lude this year

Nice job on the 15yrs. And I thought I'd had mine a long time

cheers mart

Much as i love the BB4 ive decided not to spend any money on getting it resprayed.
Both arches have bubbled up a bit but are solid and havent got any worse in the two years since i treated them to a course of dynax S-50.
Its a pity because its only the bodywork that lets it down but the plan is now to use it for fun stuff like 1/4r mile thrash and trackdays.

Went to Crail Raceway yesterday and took it down the 1/4r mile 7 or 8 times.
They had a computer glitch which means most times for the day have gone missing

Of the 3 runs i did early one the best recorded time was 15.3 on my 2nd run - im sure i improved on that on the later runs but you will have to take my word on that

Had a lot of wheel spin off the line on all the runs so i really need to get that sorted next time

It was freezing cold so zero temp in the tyres. Will be looking to get into the 14's next time.
It was good to see a few other 4th gens at Crail.

Next up will be track day at Knockhill

Next time you go I will have to bring the track slag

I'll hopefully be repaired for next time. Got one proper run then pop on the second. Was still a good day tho.

good idea - would be great to get more ludes up there for the next run.
sure we would be fastest of all the Honda there

True - the one run you had was good and beat me fair and square

Theyve sorted the computer glitch and times for all 8 runs are now listed

I need to rethink my 7000rpm launch

All the runs except the first two were with passenger on board.
