One of japans finest engineering cars in my opinion
what with the trans top electric roof and all.
A1.6 DOHC 16 valve vtec
so off i go and buy a semi tidy one which needs welding and de boy racer modding
(How anyone thinks painting the dash with white gloss is a good idea is just crazy)
Ok first job rip out all the crap. every thing thats been painted including the rear gathers speaker covers (dam some people have no respect)
and start sourcing good second hand replacement bits
the gathers are removed and sprayed a colour thats a bit more tasteful

Next refit all the new bits and now i think the interior looks much nicer in my ricer.
before and after
lots of bulbs changed to get every thing working just right
the only item not standard in here is the mamo snap off steering wheel that i just could not resist
also this car came with some rare extras like the heated mirrors, gathers rear covers, map lights, tweeters and heated mirrors
Next up front bumper repair. however after fixing it up i changed it for a standard one with lower fogs which i think looks nicer

ok off with the fake Mugan and on with some standard stuff
time to remove the rust i thought the drivers side was bad but when i started on the passenger side i nearly gave up.
boot and rear wing has some very bad lacquer lifting so time to sort it
new boot is the easy option so here we go
however the side will need paint
mixed paint from halfrouds was shit and nothing like the captiva blue that this car is however i found a pug blue almost 99.9% perfect so lets see

Ok i am happy with that next up is sort the stereo wiring the speakers as a radial is never going to work (some one had 1 wire going from the front left speaker connection on the stereo going to the right front then the right rear then the left rear then onwards to the left front speaker what a god dame joke....all 4 speakers wired up to the front left no wonder it sounded shit.
