Def out did yourself on working on this shuttle. Most people would of tossed it or not even bother to repair half the stuff you did. Love it! Keep it coming

Thanks man, yeah I never thought Shuttles would grow on me the way they have haha, they are just awesome little cars!
And now after skinned fingertips and about 1.5hrs each rim, now look like this -
That's just using sandpaper up to grade P180..still a lot of work to be done! (the grey crap you can see in the dish is just dust btw) I forgot to get a pic of my glove, I sanded through the thumb :facepalm:
Got a big meet coming up soon that I want the rims on the car for and I havent got mega bucks to totally restore them, so just going to polish up the lips and re-anodise the centre caps for now...will get curbing etc fixed sometime before summer
Centers wernt anodized? Center caps might have been?
My CF-48's are way worse than those and sadly only 14" but when I drop my BBS off to get polished I may take the Mugens along as well. Sadly the shuttle has been neglected for too long now. Will have to get it looking good for a shoot with yours at NIMM.
Put 500+kms on the Shuttle, headed down to my "crew"s trackday in Taupo on Saturday which was EPIC, we had among other things 2 Lotus Exiges, a Jaguar E Type, an FD2R and several EF9s..will post pics from that in the next couple days.
Didnt get enough time to get the car out on the track (being one of the organisers) but had an absolute blast, next morning got up at dawn and headed up to Hampton Downs for my first official event working for NZPC Mag which I was quite excited about.
Parked the Shuttle on the infield of the track and people were swarmed round it all day eh, haha, I was amazed by the reaction, everyone seems to love it! It's great to see more people here in NZ catching on to "outside the box" cars.
There should be a shit ton of photos of it from the last 2 days but as most of the photogs will only just be getting home now, this is the only one I have for now, taken by my good friend Brian with his crazy fish-eye.
Shuttle was great the whole time, didn't miss a beat, lacking a bit of power on the hills though haha
Saw your shuttle at drift day today at hampton downs.
Man, I envy your rising sun design at boot, haha, classic.
And your "everyday im shuttln" sticker, I've been looking for this sticker the day I bought my shuttle but couldnt find one who makes it. lol.

Hahaha cheers bro, I just can't believe the positive reaction it got, I mean a Honda Shuttle at a drift event!!?? haha. Going to get the rising sun painted on before summer
The sticker is custom, got it made up by our CJC sticker man, gets a lot of lols, its great watching people crack up at it when they pull up behind you at the lights hah.
I know a few peeps took photos of it, will post up when I get some.

Still my favourite Shuttle in NZ!
Whats this??
I would kill for a set of NR-10R's, or even just some aero discs for my CF-48s
Are you going to nimm? If so are you taking the shuttle??
Thanks man, yeah I never thought Shuttles would grow on me the way they have haha, they are just awesome little cars!
Praise from the master...Thanks bro!

This, I couldnt agree more!
Will have to park the Shuttles together at NIMM
The sticker actually didnt come with apostrophes (Asian signwriter :P ) so I cut the "G" off "Shuttling" and cut it into apostrophes haha
I envy how low the shuttle sits, want lowering for mine.... cannot spend money on shuttle until EK done
Considered painting the lower part of the door in same colour as the bumpers? I think it would tie in quite nicely, make it flow around the car
also love the sticky "everyday im shuttlin"!! epic
