Just uploaded a vid of my drive out to Matahina Dam, its not perfect as I had to hold the camera, and steer and change gear at the same time. Was a spur of the moment sort of thing so didnt have my tripod in the back
Have a WOF this week (6monthly vehicle inspection) so have raised the back up and put the steels back on as the rear tyres have massive camber wear and may or may not pass
Have also moved out of home etc so progress will be slow for a little longer till I build my funds back up, Integra stays at my parents as I cant get it up the driveway, had a professional photoshoot for a calender about a month ago so will have some fancy pics of that soon
Passed the WOF, so back is lowered again, going to need new tyres on both sets of my wheels soon, might just get another set Was thinking something around 15x8" +25et if I can find them.
Nice and clean for now, its spring here so there is a heap of pollen falling at the moment, leaves all cars slightly yellow
Not a Shuttle update this time unfortunately, im spending money on the Integra instead
Have a BuddyClub Fixed back seat arriving this week, I Bride Lower seat Rail, Blow Rear Camber arms and recently just received my Stainless Benen Strut Brace:
Had to mod is slightly to fit, bent aircon line about 15mm and ground down the suspension studs closest to the firewall as the Tein ones are longer than OEM
Cheers, I dont pretend to be very good at taking pics, photoshop does all the work
Right, time for a summer makeover for the shuttle, this is how it sits as of this morning:
Plan on finally painting and fitting the Facelift front bumper, painting the wheels, putting the Thule Roofracks on I just got on to transport my Kayak and hopefully get some extended tophats made up by my brother
Well Summer is here, as my sunburnt arms can attest to
Got a few looks cruising through town like that, shuttle went well, got the brakes nice and hot (could smell them from the car behind aparently...) though it has now developed a nasty rattle which im pretty sure is a header brace or something that has snapped due to some.....spirited driving on my behalf
Nice shuttly I used to own a civic in that colour, the integra 4 door is very impressing!
Cheers, I actually really like the colour, when I was looking for a shuttle I didnt care about colour so long as it was 2wd and Injected, this was just the first to come up for sale so I jumped on it.
The Integra is slowly getting there, Im still not happy with it though, I can see all the little imperfections
In other News the Shuttle actually as a New part
38" Thule Wind Fairing
Well I broke it, gearbox input bearing or thrust bearing imploded, so what better time than to throw a Bseries at it, it was in the long term plan but its been fast tracked.
An OBD0 B18c conversion package will be delivered next week thanks to Chris from "Strong for Honda" here in NZ, will give that a quick freshen up whilst its on the floor then throw it all in one weekend before XMAS.
Heres my EF8/9 Front knuckles which im in the process of getting ready:

I have only test fitted it at this stage, it is still in primer needs sanding etc.
Fitted ok with PFL support, just need to adjust it a little and adapt the filler panel.
I am lacking motivation so it may be some time
In the mean time heres some pics from this morning, nice Autumn day:
Feel free to vote for it for this months Wagon of the Month
I think its just dirty
I only just peeled the tint off the rest of the windows, so they all got washed to get the sticky stuff off, I forgot to do the hatch one :oops:

Im busy studying for some regulation exams for being a electrician and im working on the Integra, just got some Tein Coilovers for it
Heres a couple pics of how the shuttle sits as of 11am this morning:
Oh and have fitted some Tein Type RA coilovers to the Integra, 14kg front springs 10kg rear (stiffer than a schoolboy at beach vollyball)

Bumper on it now is OEM, second bumper I have is a facelift EF Hatch one, aka JDM EF9
Second hand Thule Roof racks to carry Kayak around.
Im dropping my EF9 bumper off to a bodykit maker next week as he was after one to make a mold for a J's Racing Style Front lip
Also a vid of the Integra on one of my favourite roads around here
