For some reason my muffler looks dented in the last picture. I can assure you it’s not! Must be the funky lighting.

I don’t think anyone would believe your muffler is dented!

Had a tiny power steering pump leak so I replaced the o-rings with new OEM. Would of been rude not to replace the bolts with new OEM too :-)

Yep. Anytime I've worked in that area, I just unclip the throttle cable from the mounts and stick it behind the head on the intake side.

Not for us LHD guys.

Love the new bolts on the power steering. This is inspiring. I plan on taking some automotive classes and I want to replace these parts like you're doing with new oem. It's just the right way to go. Your suspension is so clean.

Thanks, dude. Not bad considering the weather we have over here. I'm so jealous when I see some guys over your side in the south that have 20 year old Hondas with not a spec of rust on the underside, all original paint and undercoat too.

Honda's own MTF is always the way to go IMHO. Same for parts like water pumps, clutches, belts and the like. Honda really built components to last back then.
Hey ****, just doing some shopping for the car. Which oil do you use, red or yellow?

I want to try it as it’s cheap but that’s also the reason I’m not sure about it.

Not for the engine, as I personally found better alternatives. I do use Honda gearbox oil and Honda brake fluid and coolant though.

Changed my tail light gaskets again but this time for aftermarket ones that other people have recommended. I noticed some condesation inside the tail lights, nothing in the boot but just the lights. Thought I'd give these gaskets a try. The seal around the lens might be letting water in too but one thing at a time. It was only a very small amount of water.

Happy St Patrick's day! Special shout out to ****.

I replaced the outer seat bolsters on both Recaros. The right seat right side and the left seat left side.

This is what new bolster foam looks like.


Old & new comparison.


And a couple of after shots.

Gave the headlights a polish using the 3M kit. I then polished them with some Megs 205 as the 3M compound didn't finish as well as I'd like. Sealed them with Optimum Car Wax.





Dat booty though

Capital for the bolsters? And you didn't need to do the covers? I want to do the same. Not too tricky to dismantle?

Looks great as always!

Cheers. Yes, Capital. Didn't replace the covers. A little tricky to be honest. I took a load of pictures so I could do a write up. Having said that I read a 'how to' on another forum and was confident to tackle the job with my experience and tools.

We would never make such a claim.

That new bolster looks wayyy better than the old one. Surprised that the old one was that bad. Wonder how mine look.
