Plan 1 (most likely)

- Finalise installation of short shifter
- Fit CC ultra lightweight flywheel
- Fit CC stage 1 clutch
- Gearbox oil change (together with fly and clutch change)
- General maintenance, service and My OCD habit of keeping it clean
- Maybe buy additional set of wheels for track use
- More track days
- Drive it more often to work

Plan 2

- Sell prelude and buy a lancer evolution (always wanted one) / DC5 or an ATR

Need to get my Lude back on the road, over 18 months now

Decided on a few things:

Whip out the VAFC2 now it's surplus and flog it.
Change the stereo setup.
Clean up the rad brackets and plug cover
Install chrome handles.
Refurb my JDM fogs and install (or sell TBH)
Remove front reg plate holder and relocate plate
Refurb the grill I installed in the front bumper 10 years ago

i.e. spray it satin black.
Stop lugging the spare around and make a new custom boot liner

So mostly small stuff, then just drive the bugger as much as I can

Sorry man, will take proper ones, but it's bascially mint, and I wired it in properly, not a butchers job

That's one of the reasons I havent got round to taking it out yet.
I still have the unused stand and sticky pads I believe, and I also printed out the entire operating manual to go with.
You Sir, can have first dibs, at a bargain LG price if you like?

Fire me a pm when you have taken it out, I need to make sure it will work and give me some benefit first too,

Cool.
It will, if you have it set up - I dropped the x-over to 4.5k on mine, since the lude runs rich form the factory and had a noticeable dip before the x-over, it was pretty much accepted that the lude was one of the few hondas that could benefit slightly from a drop. Thoughts behind it were that Honda put the crossover there to help with mpg figures etc, since 2.2 is a relatively large engine over there.
I ran it like that for a couple of years before finally getting PAW to set it up, by then I had the skunk2 cam gears too so he did both and the difference was

Sorry, have no idea about compatibility

BTW: If you want to see the various functions, might be an idea to see it while it's still rigged in?

Sure! would love to see it working

chance to see you too.

I'm collecting all the parts now to get Paw to install later on the year. I have those engine mounts, ATR brakes, some strut braces and maybe ATR manifold if I get the fuel rail from rosko..
