thinking abp but i only need the following done off the list



essentially, everything in yellow needs doing.
i did oil the week before my track day so the filter and oil isnt required
brake fluid was done with my braided lines and installation of the ds2500s
mtf - i had a new clutch recently and am having an LSD fitted soon so that isnt required
air filter, i have a gruppe m which i service myself.

they mentioned the labour cost would be less but i want valve clearances done so that will probably bump it back up to £165.

glad ive done it bit by bit really

Mate, if you've done all the other bits yourself, plugs are a doddle, fuel filters are easy too.

just ordered the plugs, in honesty, never checked how much they were, will just do them myself also.

This is who I order most of my bits with..

If you email him, he will give you a price on any Honda part. Not always next day delivery as he sometimes has to order things in, but always a great price!

Teg seats are too buckety for general use and not buckety enough for the track - and they cost a fortune to keep fixing.

I have my eye on a lovely set of Sparco's for £400

Prob another £300 for rails or £200 if I can get them second hand, would split with a fellow skinny mate and stick in an open bucket from an old Civic for the fatties.

Wish i was in a Ramen Shop Counter
Well, I drove past a local Honder dealer and they are selling a 08 plate Yaris for £6750.

I paid £6550 2 years ago for my car and it is still only on 36k miles with full Toyota SH so it seems depreciation has been kind to my car.

The Civic is definitely on the list since it tick all the boxes - (toys, nice boot, seats 4 people, under £10k).

So with no much cash + my car, I could get one of these, just looking around to see what are the must have, what comes as standard.

Xenons, Cruise control, climate, DAB and iPod integration would be necessities

I guess Sat Nav isn't a standard.

p.s. I love that arm rest !
