Got a Hans Pro Device with bag to keep me safe!
To accompany the Hans, got a Arai GP5W helmet
Got some rice for the helmet off the ebays. Also came with Visor conversion kit, if I want to run one.
Right it's been an overdue update, so straight into it then.
Decided to do a rocker cover vent system, so removed the black PVC box behind the block and blocked it off. Had a friend make me a block bung and a baffled catch can. Running -12 Fittings and lines for this.
Also got a Moroso Sump and fitted an Oil Cooler set up with Thermostatic sandwich plate.
Ended up ditching the crap Skunk2 Pro Series Throttle body, I had a guts full of it jamming open once it got hot. I was lucky enough to know someone going to K Series set up, so I managed to buy there 70mm Spoon Throttle body.
All this was fitted the night before going testing! lol
Couple of weeks later, competed in Motul Honda Cup:
Currently I am building a new gear box set up. A OS Giken close ratio kit with OS Giken Plate LSD. Gear X Carbon Sychros, Gear X 4.9 Final Drive and Gear X Hardened Synchro Hubs. Just waiting for the Gear X components to arrive.
Also managed to get a Ogura Hyper Single Clutch with Chromoly Flywheel and ARP Flywheel bolts.
While waiting for the Gear X bits for the box. I bought some Spoon Leads :P
This is a in between update, things I forgot to post:
Buddyclub Roll Center Adjuster and Blox Extended wheel studs:
Mugen Rear Rotors:
Changed to a Fastline shifter:
Fitted SSP Brake Ducts and WSX Lip:
Random pics:
Couple of weeks ago RHD Japan had a Spoon sale. So a friend and myself ordered a set of Spoon Rigid Collars and Spoon Sump Shield each.
Gear X Final Drive, currently have it being crack tested and shot peened, so just waiting for it to come back to put the box back together!
Hardened synchro hubs and Carbon synchro's!
Small update:
Finally had the fittings put on the gear box casing. This is just future proofing so I can run a gear box cooler for Enduro races etc later on.

1.) Insanity but awesomeness
2.) I'm completely jealous of your skill with cars
3.) I don't even normally like this gen of civics but this one is the exception.
