Well in the past 2 weekend mines has had a Skunk2 Megapower R cat back fitted then used vtec a lot lol then yesterday decided to get a power run done at my local rolling road which my dc5 produced 217.4 bhp and 158 torque at the fly

Next up if fitting my Spoon 2-1 decat and Spoon ecu then get it rolling roaded again just to see if theres any difference

Just spent two hours getting these 3 14mm nuts off...

It took 3 13mm sockets, a blow torch a hammer and some wd40!!!

So happy now I can get my spoon b pipe on, it's only been sitting in the garage for 6 months 😃

tackled my shabby seats today, both seats had different bad bits, so the plan was to get hold of a third seat and make two good ones from three.
photos....

crappy seat..


stripped down..




new bits..




put back together..




end result, two still wet but clean good condition seats.. and 3 holes in my hand from staples!


interior cleaned..


seats back in..


job done and all this left over for the bin men on Tuesday hehe..


a happy dave, but if you have friends, go to the pub with them for lunch and let someone else refurb your seats... :xyes:

Replaced my aem cold air cone filter, I know you can clean them, but tbh after a good inspection it's seen better days.

Funkypower.com. Best to give them a ring. Didn't have it in stock had to wait a week for them to order it in. Think it was £45 plus postage.

Today I decided to fix up my carbon bonnet which I've been meaning to do for quite some time, and as you can see lacquer wasn't looking its best :xaiweb6:



So started by washing and clay barring, then out came the wet and dry paper, then a rinse and dry to leave me with this, prepare yourselves!


After the sanding was complete I used a dab of Scratch-X and some Ultimate Compound with my DA and a Sonus cutting pad, halfway there...


First pass complete :)


Then a second pass using a Sonus fine swirl pad and more Ultimate compound, getting some real clarity now :)


And finally a good coat of Megs Ultimate Liquid Wax for some real depth and shine :)


Very happy with the results and I'm one step closer to looking good for Japfest 8)
