Tow hook won't fit well with the motegi dude, I fitted the same hook with my VTi lip and it was a close fit. Perhaps if you cut an opening in the lip, I think that could look cool if done right 8-)

ok so just got off the phone with rich....

turns out my problem was dropped valve :( I thought it was as much

lucky its only 1 intake valve, and piston damage in cylinder 1, walls are ok thank god

I bought some H22a7 pistons, in case some thing like this would be the case and I'm happy I did.. gonna drop these in, obviously new rings gasket etc..

going for new skunk valves, fatigue could have been reason for failure, old valves have been used with the uprated springs for a while before I had the head, and head snapped of the intake valve

dont want that to happen again :lol:

get my new mounts fitted, MOT, and repair to the exhaust... and the remap

its gonna cost me alot of money, but I was thinking of giving up on the lude scanning ebay for new cars... I just dont have a clue what I really want, I just end up with the closest thing possible integra dc5, and I can end up with a much faster lude..

I'm going for it... with the higher compression it should come back a monster

long live the lude :jdm: :|

madmotors a while back

its fibreglass, not the easiest bumper to get right for the lude

dont expect perfect fit, and it will take a little work to fit
