Sorry to jump in and be cheeky does this mean there might be a bumper up for grabs if there is anychance of first dibs

Not the first to ask

I haven't decided anything yet, and won't for a while. It will just go on the FS forum if I do

Hey Mark,

Saw your motor at Dixons yesterday, looking super sweet! Those Nitrons look even better in the flesh and I fell in love with your Mugen steering wheel and Hardtop. Very sexy indeed!

Your OEM wheels look good on the car nice drop too..

Thanks Sanchi, picked it up today but not had a chance for any fun. Had an EPS gremlin return on the way home so power steering was off

But the car is looking spot on now, and all the bits have nearly come together.

Had a good chat with the Nitron man and Dixon about the setup I have. Can't wait to test it. My camber is more agressive than last time too.

How are the Ohlins now? DId you get them overhauled?

I haven't had a chance to get them on the car yet just going to replace the top mount bearings and the rest of the coilovers are good to go on the car. Dixon said they had a corner weight set up done to them so I'm going to test them as they are before I start making adjustments I am looking forward to getting them on.

But seeing your car got me thinking about a mugen hardtop now! They look so much nicer in the flesh! What diameter is your mugen steering wheel too, I like that as well! Your car looked aggressive but mature if that makes sense! Lol.

Hope the EPS isn't a big thing. If its any consolation, I am having clutch issues and I only just fitted the clutch on the weekend! But I've found my problem to be the clutch master cylinder!

Here you go

You can see the camber and lowering effect after the Nitron fitting.

Imagine it with black wheels and a wing, and that's what it will look like finished

Looks awesome, really really like that color. The front looks super menacing, ubercool.

Only not a fan of the protruding step on the side skirt because doesn't flow with the softer lines of the rear bumper. I guess you're planning on changing the bumper too?

Are you going to paint the Honda wheels? would be a shame to put sticky out wheels on that, IMO.

The J's kit really wears Moonrock well.

Love it.
