KwS's Builds - CL1 time

[Navin]

Looks tidy! Swapped for the e36? Any plans for this?

[KwS]

Nah, sold the E36 and bought this.

As it stands right now,

Lowered on Jamex springs, standard struts
K&N pod and alloy intake pipe
Solid front strut brace (along side the factory one)
Uprated ignition leads and iridium plugs

Otherwise its stock. Thankfully the previous owner kept all the factory stuff he changed, so i got all that with it.

Ill be changing the intake back to stock airbox, but other than that i might keep an eye out for some wheels with better offset and keep the rest as it is. Factory exhaust is nice and quiet, suspension is stiff but comfortable.

Theres a bit of tidying up to do, like it appears there is an oil leak from the Vtec solenoid so that'll need fixing.

The handling reminds me a lot of my old ITR, can definitely see why its essentially a 4 door type R.

Gave it a decent clean today. Also replaced the original "Honda Battery", wiper blades and added some washer fluid.

Paint is very good, only a couple of small chips on the front. Passenger mirror has taken a hit at some point, so might look at replacing it in the future.

pics!

nice man

No pics as i dont want to get oil on my camera, but fit replacement vtec solenoid seal, cam end cap, spark plug seals and rocker cover gasket. Degreased the side of the engine and box, so hopefully now itll retain its oil. Old seals were like plastic, and broke when removed they were that brittle.

Next mission is to replace the failing clutch master cylinder... oh what fun thatll be.
