Description
Brief current description of the past 12 months of parts and maintenance on this great example , front end respray bonnet bumper and roof ( stone chips and jap paint being thin ) brand new fog inserts genuine Honda , iridium NGK plugs , aircon regas , valve clearances , engine and gearbox oil service at specialist , PBS pads all round (£300) tegiwa sports cat , new pre cat lambda sensor .
Always run on Shell V Power and premium fluids used, initially Fuchs Pro S 5w40 then Petronas Racing 10w60 when the car became more track focussed. Incredibly smooth and intoxicating power delivery with a superbly slick and satisfying gearchange.
It's on 93k miles, stacks of paperwork with all receipts and invoices plus stamped service book since import and documents from import and Japan , current paperwork total is about £21k labour and parts , £5-6k past 12 months putting this car right .
Follows is a brief chronological history; a lot of the components have only covered a few thousand miles, mostly travel to and from circuits and specialist garages. The suspension overhaul and gearbox upgrades were in mid 2019. ACF50 regularly applied.
TGM Sport in Fleet did comprehensive servicing and initial upgrades including baffled sump, exhaust, intake, mount inserts, subframe collars, spark plugs, aux belt, coolant, gearbox oil, multiple engine oil and filter changes.
AREA Motorsport fitted their track modified suspension, shortened steering arms and roll centre adjusters.
SW Motorsport half cage bolt in, and a massive suspension upgrade that included many rose jointed components , new rear drop links 2026 .
VTEC Direct Motorsport fitted the plated differential and higher final drive (gearbox in excellent condition, diff and input shaft bearings replaced as these are common ones to go)
Northampton Motorsport completed a full height adjustment, corner weighting also.
I'm happy to discuss in detail and send more pictures.
