It is a 56i! You lucky bastard.
Are you going to the NZH meet today? Because theres drinks at my house afterwards, feel free to come along.
Haha it is!
Yea me and Ben are coming along, probably wont stay long, need to drop a big Koyo radiator off to kane and have a quick catch up.
Floor mats are filthy so will be getting a good clean this weekend.
Gunna teach the Mrs how to do an oil change this weekend, and then tint the windows with 35% tints.
Ive also got some strobe lights lying around so I will install them for a laugh, Ive got a J's Racing TowHook on the back now too, its so terribly gay that its funny
Other than that ive found some cheap Lowering springs from a EF9 that I will chuck in, in the next couple weeks.
Im diggin the others as well! Id take a sedan over a coupe anyday.
The other car is my mates 1987 R31 Nissan Skyline Silhouette, it has S13 silvia (240sx in america) coilovers and 14x7" -10 Enkie mesh wheels.
Integra is getting there, makes 127kw atw untuned with J's Racing Intake and Mugen exhaust
Went for a drive today to give the skuttle a good run, cue the pics:
Where were those shots taken?
I was wondering if shuttle shocks were longer.
So I take it the rear springs I bought wont be captive at the back with my current shocks?
Or is the shock body under the bottom spring perch be longer, not effecting the springs but making it higher?
Those pics were at Lake Rotoma, but had just been out to Lake Tarawera and Tarawera Falls
Pic of the falls:

The spring perch on the Shuttle shock sits about 30mm lower than the hatch. So when you put the hatch springs in with the Shuttle shocks the arse sits low.
The others were just quick shutter speed and point and shoot.
Ahh thats good to know, I know that EF's always have a problem with the back sitting higher than the front.
May have to track some down
cody
Just sorting some Koni Yellows to slam it next weekend
(this is escalating quickly)
I can either use those springs or I have another set in the shed, will see when I get them, hopefully next weekend but realistically the weekend after
Managed to tidy up the Intake a bit, had to modify it a bit to fit:
And PWJDM Shift Boot:
Went to lower it, as some of you may know Koni shocks have a shaft 2mm oversized compared to stock shocks, so the collar that goes through the Bushes in the Tophats wont fit.
Going to have a dig through the scrap bin at work and see what I can find
And to prove im not taking this overly serious:

Its a 1.5m flexible tube with 5 blue strobe lights in it
Have a switch just beside my left knee to turn them on and off
I wont do it, but still.
Has confirmed that I will paint my wing mirrors satin black (they are tatty anyway) at some stage.
Go to try again to lower it this weekend with my stock Type R tophats etc
But I did install these the other day after work:
On problem is that now I have to upgrade the front speakers to balance it out, I have DLS (hand made swedish ones) in the Integra but I wont be going that far with this.
