Started making the necessary changes to the Euro R Intake to mount it onto my h23a :)



Still have more to do started opening up the injector port runner side so the spray doesn't get interfered by the casting. Still have to open it up some more.

Also making a few changes to the interior :)

Interior update: Putting a RHD carpet in a LHD car is not fun at all, had to do a lot of cutting and trimming....

And the final:
Also painted the rear plastic trim on the S2000 seats to match the carpet :) Still have a few small things i wan't to change up with red accents inside the cabin but i'm very happy with how it turned out :D

Wow great work on the interior, i was also thinking to use some fabric dye/paint but to refresh some areas rather than change it up, i wouldn't have thought you could turn a black matt into a red one and it look that bright, I'd be interested to know what product you used for that, very impressive ;)

Thanks guys,

the product i used on the floor mats is duplicolor fabric and vinyl paint red, and the interior definitely looks 100 times better with the red haha. I just stood there starring at it after it was done :lol:

Had somewhat of a productive weekend with the lude. Decided to swap out my clutch master and slave for a new oem one and bleed the system. I had some issues getting the car into gear so i figured the stock master with 340,000 km is due for a change lol.

Bleeding the master and clutch was a pain in the ass lol.....definitely a 2 man job one person pumping other person bleeding, a third would have been nice so they can top up the resevor lol.

Also had an extra clutch resevouir bracket powdercoated a while back when I got a few other things done since i knew i was going to be replacing the master soon anyway.

On to the pics :)

I replaced the hose as well since this one was sweating a bit.

Looking fresh :) Had to readjust the clutch engagement point and it is much better now. This coming weekend i will be doing a 12 hour drive in one day round trip so would be a good test.

Some more work done last night....installed my stop tech SS brake lines which i have had for over a year lol. Brakes needed a bleeding so decided to swap it all out last night.

Hardest part was making sure all bleeder screws broke loose and hard line bolts came off easy without damaging. Only had to use a vise grip on one of my hard lines because it was a little seized. Couldn't use a torch either because it was right beside the gas tank :evil:

After the swap I haven't driven it yet but just pumping the pedal it feels significantly tighter, I have a long drive this weekend so today and tomorrow i'll do some local driving and make sure all is good :).
