For a peace of mind, should probs machine the rotors and get fresh pads, and also check the wheel bearing as u dont wanna b tearing down the hub months later down the track just to replace the bearing, and also the RTA bushes

And hopefully, by the end of the year gonna go 282mm rotors an Ek9 calipers :D

I'd go the hard race bushes (or a spherical bearing rta arrangement), I'm not too impressed with Honda's rta bushes, they're bit under engineered.

I'll post some pics when I install my rears

cleaned and vacuumed SR3s + stock seats I pulled out a couple of weeks back (had like weird sheepskin stuff on them from covers, but nothing a little upholstery cleaner couldn't fix :))

Also weighed stock EK1 seat = 14.5kg with rails (approx.) This is about 4kg lighter than an SR3. I'd say the majority of the extra weight is in the heavier EK9 rails.

Recaro SR3 = 18.5kg with EK9 rails (approx.)

race seats sometimes are generally heavier as their gains out weight them being heavier

compared to the stock ej8 seats I had, if the sr3s weighed 5kgs more it wouldnt matter, I'd just shave it off somewhere else as their benefits are worth it, being rebuildable also plays a huge factor

once all the minor details are done and installed, dc2 shifter, rear swaybars, then gonna move onto the major stuff like rta, definite gonna get hardrace gear

Attempted the DIY CF film cluster with some 3M DI-NOC film.

I got a reasonable result, but I think I am just gunna order one off JDM Concept anyways.


Car needs a wash.

was witness to the assault of a young lady last night in my car.

Just came out of Novotel Wollongong after having coffee with friends and my cousins gf saw a girl with a guy over the top off her pushing her down on the ground of the car park, screaming at her - telling her if she hits him back he'll hit her back wrose, putting his hands around her neck - I couldn't see cause had reading glasses on so changed to driving glasses, dialled triple zero, reported location and requested immediate help.

Then the girl got up and walked away and the guy went in the other direction (lost sight of him behind the trees), and it looked as though she got her phone out to call a friend and that was the end of it; then the guy came running across the carpark and bailed her up on a tree - I lost sight of them behind a car in the carpark, and at this point I could here her screaming and yelling - so while still on the phone to the cops I got my 12 or so inch maglite torch out from under the drivers seat to go and see if could help (they're probably about 30 metres away at this point) and as I was going over, thank God for late night car meets - 4 or 5 car loads of modified cars with about 15 or so guys came past (they could see what was going as well from where they were) and got him the **** off her.

Left the details with the cops so see what happens - she had a few cuts on her lip and the poor thing was so shaken up - she must have been no taller than 5 foot four and weighing no more than 50kg. Apparently she'd been in the r/ship with the guy for 3 years.

pretty sad...
