I hurried them up, so they painted the bay on Saturday, coming home later this week.
Lower front subframe bar is still slightly bent, told them to straighten it out. -.-

I WILL make sure that they fix it, and any arising issues. Paid my hard-earnt money!
Actually isn't too bad, just my perfectionist-self wants it too be pulled back into place:
Dec 23th
Babe back home:
Smooth as...
I'm lovin' it! Are you?
Dec 25th
Installed Honda AC delete firewall plug. (Christmas Day, I at least had to do something, make progress, instead of procrastinating.)
Dec 26th
Pulled out dodgy-ass wired up aftermarket alarm system.
Dec 26th/27th
Vacuumed, then scrubbed the whole bare interior.
I did more scrubbing after this pic was taken. Too much dirt accumulated, especially driver's side.
- Didn't take any pics, but also washed all the seat belts with hot soapy car wash soap, left them in the buckets for a while, then submerged them in hot water buckets for rinsing. Using clamps to stop the retractors from reeling in the belts. I repeated the progress the day after except with dishwash soap this time. All the belts seem to retract slighty faster, except for one, which got worse (-.- - rectractor accidently fell into the bucket of water). Was recommended to use silicone spray into the retractor. I shall try.
As you can see, the clutch master cylinder failed, and the brake fluid ate the paint and became rusty. Sanded off what I could, then WD40'ed the area as a form of rust prevention.
Jan 2nd - Brake discs replacement
So when I brought my DC2R 5 stud to JDMyard for them to replace all them bushings to Hardrace ones, Yonas highly recommended me to replace the discs as well due to the condition of them...
... so I decided with a decent setup consisting of DBA 4000 series T3 fronts and RDA rear blanks:
L (o.o) k at the nice criss-cross finish!
Sorry OCD peeps, yes front and rear discs are different colours. I don't really mind though.
Fitted. Sanded off as much rust off the hub prior, of course.
Top: Rears: EG 239mm vs DC2R 260mm
Bottom: Fronts: EG 262mm vs DC2R 282mm.
EG's rear trailing arm bushing, one side is completely torn!
So the cover bolster replacement for from Capital Seating in the UK for driver's side Recaro seat came up really tight, 2cm shorter compared to the original bolster. I fitted them onto the seat, but it is waaayyyy too tight.
Top new bolster foam and bolster cover.
Bottom is original.
In contact with them now regarding this issue atm.
Jan 5th
Off comes steering rack, DC2R upgrade instead. EG 3.4 vs DC2R 2.9 turns lock-to-lock. 'F1 inspired steering' is what a review described DC2R's steering. (Will try to find the review.)
Derp, I didn't know that the EG's spindle coupling (sits in between the steering rack and the steering column) is different to the DC2/4's. In search of DC's wrecking...
2014 Tein Mono Sport Dampers EG6/DC2R. Been sitting in my room for almost 3 years, lol. A tiny spider called the box of Tein's its home!
Hardrace V.2 Adjustable front camber arms.
So the EG's service manual instructs to align the anchor bolts, but didn't specify how... so I just copied the stock camber arm, parallel with the ball joint. With a ruler, looking with left eye, then right eye and then both, ensuring that the anchor bolts lined up with the ruler.
Did I align them right?
(Note: Bolts was fitted incorrectly in this pic, meant to be from the other side.)

use the bmc on the left - the later model 1" BMC (98-00) have 2x 10mm fittings whereas the earlier model has 1x 12mm, 1x 10mm. you might need to bend the first line a bit too
FYI don't leave the car rolling on the ground without axles installed and torqued. the front wheel bearings need to be torqued and loaded or may cause premature wear. keep it jacked up or install some outer cv's
