Benny's BA2 Prelude - Project Shakotan.

[Benny]

Well the GAZ coilovers have arrived! Soooo damn tempted to put them on there and then but I'm going to be sensible for once in my life and wait till Saturday.

[nthusiastt]

dude I fucking love those cars. an 86 prelude was the first car I ever owned. Keep it up!

[Shade]

What'd you do with those old wheels?

[X5X]

If this turns out half as good as your W123 did, It will be amazing

Nice Prelude!

[Benny]

dude ur lude is so sweet

Thanks dude, this is only the start!


Right so one of my Work splits was loosing all its air over night so I did the old washing up liquid and water bubble test and found the air was leaking BAD outta the wheel seal. So I separated the rim, cleaned right up all the surfaces and then used polyurethane sealant and now I'm just waiting for it to dry before I refill with air.



Next I wanted to upgrade my wiper for a new Aero one. Ordered one up and it arrived but then I found it doesn't work with the old style wipers sooooo . . .



I used a JDM S2000 wiper arm and cut the end off and drilled two holes in it and popped it onto the old arm. Works a treat!

Also while I was messing with the wiper system I upgraded to Honda Jazz washer jets. Simple but effective. They spray a mist rather than just firing massive jets onto your window.

Part number for anyone that want's to do the same




My coilovers are turning up next week so next weekend I shall be a VERY happy chappie so long as it all goes to plan!


Oh and My HKS windmaster exhaust is on it's way from Japan!

Looks like this:



It's very inkeeping with the old skool vibe I think, Always wanted one too!

[Benny]

Ha I'd actually already done that and it's been my BG for the last few weeks. Great minds think alike eh!

awsome, nice work.

Thanks!

Retro cool. Loving this so far dude

I'm loving this car!

b20's sound amazing!

Stuff the sound, it's the torque! Pulls so damn well compared to my old B18 and B16.

Guess cos it's low mileage too.

looks great! its not even slammed and it looks great!

I know, I'm so excited deck it,

Wow can't believe you found a 25 year old car in that nice of shape.

Yea, I just hope when MOT time comes round in March there isn't any surprises hidden away.

Minty fresh

Ohh yes

This car is immaculate for it's age!

I know! So happy with it!

not a fan of this model

but does look pretty mint

since the wheels are 3pc, u need bigger lips and more low

loved the merc!

Merc is for sale! :P And the Stark's are only for temp/track work. Currently sourcing some cool old skool Jap wheels from Japan.

sick man. i love these things so much

here's one of my coworker's cars

His is a Gen3, Looks good tho! Can you ask him what Lip that is?

the coilovers are off of what model?

New coilovers are for 83-87 Gen2 'Lude, which the car is. Custom made.




Well today I rang Gaz Shocks to order my coilovers.

They have to be specially built which takes a few weeks as there has only been ONE set ever made before.

It's the GHA KIT.

Super excited to be able to slam the fuck outta the 'Lude lol
