Default noobie from the uk, heres my EF8 VT

Hi folks im from the UK and im new here so i thought i would post up soem pictures of my UK CRX VT.








its got a carbon plug cover now too



if anyone wants some more bigger pics, let me know. lol
what has been odne to my car:
AEM intake
4-2-1 exhaust manifold
decat
Custom exhaust system
socketed ECU with a map done by a guy on CRXUK
spaz coilovers
front 282mm brake conversion using rover callipers and discs
15's to clear the brakes with toyo proxies t1r's all round
all struct braces but i havent fitted the front lower one yet
Rain visors - not in pics tho unfortunatly
think thats about it, ive got a j's racing replica front splitter coming hopefully next week. the car has on done about 31000 miles, no rust except for a little bit on the sunroof.

What do you guys think?

good god.....that paint is in gorgeous condition despite the snow infested weather this car lives around...rock on mate!

p.s. what is that on the right side of the bay where us, USDM, would have our master cylinder...do you have a proportioning valve with a reservoir? or maybe power steering?

Whoever mounted his rims was a dumbass and mounted the balancing weights out the outside lip, instead of inside...

it looks pretty similar to the ABS reservior/system that was on my 92 civic. I would also be interested to know if thats an add-on or if it came with it... didnt think any of the crx's had ABS.

What chu talking about, that's the VTECH fluid reservoir... HA.

Just for the record, it's the ABS modulator, that is what pulses the brakes to keep them from locking...

Thanks for all the great comments guys, where i live it rarely snows, that was a one off really.
as for the a.b.s stuff all Uk vt's have it and so do late spec 16v's. should be getting a carbon sunroof for it soon as the stock one is rusting. You guys didnt get stock crx's with b16's do you? dont know what else i will do to it, if some parts come up for sale that i fancy i might get some other goodies, cant wait for my j's racing replica splitter to arrive i think it will look pretty low from the front end when its fitted. i wouldnt mind a set of mugen skirts and caps either but i will wait and see what comes up.
Also did u get celestrial blue as a colour option?
