Yeah true aye! I've never experienced an air bag myself.
So can I ask what is the purpose of your car? Track? Drag? Show? Daily stuck in traffic jam?
My guess is a bit of each perhaps?

So now she's a show car I guess and a weekend warrior who loves to go out running fools on the streets :P lol But I try not to race at all anymore. Tired of breaking things
Nice :)
4 transmissions ouch! Pricey!
So four hours of cleaning today and I'm soooo tired but Ivy looks soooo sexy! I can't wait to see her in the sunlight tomorrow!!!
I started by taking her for a car wash. She loves a bath. Then came home and began! I tried a new product today, Ice Claybar system from Turtle Wax
its a 3 part system. Deep cleaner, clay bar, then wax.

firs the deep cleaner
http://i918.photobucket.com/albums/a...y/100_6927.jpg
its a blue liquid that helps removes scratches and oxidation and etc.
Then the clay bar... even after washing and cleaner this was off my first pass!

Then after claying time for wax!

Thats scary! cause im starting to get grief with second gear in my car aswell. Sometimes a real smooth shift other times it feels jammed and laboured but no crunching... yet by the look of these images.
Holy moly check out those gear teeth (or lack thereof). Maybe you should start learning to drive from 1st > 3rd and just skip 2nd? Is there an upgraded strength gear kit you can get for it? Sounds like you need it mate!
Somebody send this man an OzHonda sticker!
Finally new pics for the year!

Wow great photo shoot! It really shows the car is a work of art.
got my new brake lines I'm going to try out
http://i918.photobucket.com/albums/a...s/100_7001.jpg
http://i918.photobucket.com/albums/a...s/100_7000.jpg
(obviously there are more but just not pictured and not installed yet, not sure when I'll do that)
Did a quick suspension swap. So I thought I would make my version of the DIY....
First step break loose your lug nuts
next while the car was lower I decided to pull out the trunk parts so you can get to the rear strut bolts.
http://i918.photobucket.com/albums/a...b/100_7014.jpg
Now go ahead and jack her up and put her on stands
http://i918.photobucket.com/albums/a...b/100_7016.jpg
I started with the front. So first I loosened up the top bolts and removed the strut bar
http://i918.photobucket.com/albums/a...b/100_7010.jpg
then so the strut doesn't just fall out later put one of the nuts back on
http://i918.photobucket.com/albums/a...b/100_7024.jpg
Now take off the tire and lets get to work. Remove the 10mm ABS bracket bolt(i don't have ABS so none shown) and the 12mm brake line bracket bolt.
http://i918.photobucket.com/albums/a...b/100_7019.jpg
Now go ahead and take off the tie rod end. Remove the cotter pin then use a 19mm socket
http://i918.photobucket.com/albums/a...b/100_7021.jpg
pop her on out
http://i918.photobucket.com/albums/a...b/100_7022.jpg
Now time to take off the big bolts. 19mm and 23mm
http://i918.photobucket.com/albums/a...b/100_7023.jpg
once those are out the hub will fall forward
http://i918.photobucket.com/albums/a...b/100_7025.jpg
Go ahead and take off the one nut on top holding the strut in and pull her out. Now compare... stock struts with Eibach springs compared to Buddy Club N+
http://i918.photobucket.com/albums/a...b/100_7026.jpg
and instal in reverse order of course
http://i918.photobucket.com/albums/a...b/100_7027.jpg
This will help you instal the front. Use a jack to push up on the control arm so you can get the bolts threw
http://i918.photobucket.com/albums/a...b/100_7028.jpg
now time for the rear....
start buy loosening up the rear strut bolts on the top. I actually take off the back one since its a pain to get to. 14mm
http://i918.photobucket.com/albums/a...b/100_7037.jpg
then go underneath and take out the bottom main strut bolt 19mm
http://i918.photobucket.com/albums/a...b/100_7046.jpg
now we are also installing a camber kit. So pop off the 17mm on top arm
http://i918.photobucket.com/albums/a...b/100_7032.jpg
Then pull out strut because the control arm will lower
Remember to pull off the one nut left on top
http://i918.photobucket.com/albums/a...b/100_7034.jpg
http://i918.photobucket.com/albums/a...b/100_7033.jpg
Now use a 17mm and remove the two top bolts for the camber arm and a 10mm to remove ABS line
http://i918.photobucket.com/albums/a...b/100_7031.jpg
http://i918.photobucket.com/albums/a...b/100_7038.jpg
heres the camber kit
http://i918.photobucket.com/albums/a...b/100_7039.jpg
now instal both strut and camber kit
http://i918.photobucket.com/albums/a...b/100_7040.jpg
http://i918.photobucket.com/albums/a...b/100_7044.jpg
and just like front use a jack to lift control arm to help instal
http://i918.photobucket.com/albums/a...b/100_7043.jpg
now do the other sides and you are done! Enjoy...
I bought mine used and they were already set. I will lower them later.
