I got a pair of Type R emblems, maybe it's a bit pretentious but I really like the way it looks so why not.
BHPian thetinywanderer recently shared this with other enthusiasts:
The car has been slowly getting back in shape and thought I would drop in some updated pictures and share what has been done so far and what I have been wondering about
Some changes over the past few weeks:
- Got a new pair of tie-rod ends and also a fresh pair of bushings across both front and rear suspension along with with replacing the ball joint.
- The mounts were kind of cold and the engine that transmit some vibrations to the chassis, got both the right and the left side mount replaced and the car is absolutely but smooth now.
- I got a pair of Type R emblems, maybe it's a bit pretentious but I really like the way it looks so why not.
- Some of the monogram was damaged, and I have placed an order for a new set, that's why you see the missing in the pictures.
Now to the things that are on the wish list:
- While I have replaced the halogen bulbs with LED bulbs, obviously, the reflectors are not meant for it, and while the throw is better than stock, but is really scattered. There is a new style of aftermarket LEDs out which I really like and feel will go great.
- I am not sure how the quality and throw of these headlights are - if someone has any relevant experience with aftermarket LED housing, please do share. If it is also a functional upgrade and can elevate my night driving experience - I feel it's worth the upgrade.
- Getting a pair of LED side mirror lights, which again just add to the aesthetics.
- Add in steering mounted audio controls - the touch controls suck!
- Considering a free-flow exhaust but the car rides soo well stock, I am apprehensive I will mess things up for a very marginal power gain - I am not a big fan of louder exhaust notes or maybe I need to experience what a free-flow VTEC sounds and feels like, will be visiting Automech sometime soon. Again any advice here will help
- Get the Monogram on and maybe a few more small aesthetic touch ups.
Below are some recent pictures of the beaut:
