Needs a bit of work, more than i expected, but still hasnt put me off, my dad ensured me well have it done for June time, so it wont be appearing at the York Raceway meet on May 26th, Think ill take the DX to that one, But the EF2 will deffo be at JAE. It did come with some goodies though, Mark sorted me out with some Lowering springs with VT Shocks, some Timing Belt Covers, New Number plate for the front, and he even left in the Rear GATHERS units :D

Anyways, Heres the Plan, What to do, things i need etc.

-Skim head 20thou
-Replace head Gasket
-Get Engine Running Correctly :wink:
-Some Sort of RPM Switch for vtec
-Replace Front Trim (metal Bit under lights)
-Treat and Re-paint Sills
-Treat and Paint Drivers Arch near Bumper
-Re-paint 16i Bonnet Matt Black
-Secure Bonnet Release Lever
-Fit Lowering Springs
-Facelift Rear Lights (Current Ones Cracked)
-16i Interior W/GL Dash (Not keen on the blue :wink: )
-Whole S/S Exhaust System Fitted from the DX
-Fit Stereo System (With Small Hidden Sub built into Spare wheel well)
-Front MK3 Golf Splitter (Unsure About this one atm)
-New Front Yellow Fogs
-Paint Watanabes Red
-Red Pinstripe
-Replace Small Trim on Drivers Door
-Get some Special Decals Made up (Similar to the DOHC ones seen on VTs and 16i's)
-Replace Honda Decals on boot
-eBay USA Special Wind Deflectors
-Paint Rocker Cover Wrinkle Red
-Paint Timing Belt Cover Matt Black, Cut out side, replace with Clear Perspex Sheet
-Front JDM Size Numberplate on Title Brakcet
