Yeah, cool. I thought about doing the same mods on this one but i was fed up of 5spoke wheels, blue one is the 3rd car ive owned with 5spokes on
I do plan to go for slatted grill and depo style headlights but its not a rush for me.

Havnt updated this for ages!
Changed the shell bearings, re-oiled the lifters, changed the cambelt and now its back together.
Got 4 brand new T1R's fitted and painted all of the 6spokes white.
Sent it for its MOT today and..... Fail 
Broken front spring (I forgot to check ) But mostly, the blue screen it leaves behind when its warm. I think its just residue from the over-filling of the oil. But even so, the emissions are sky high, New cat needed, Not so worried though as there only about £75 inc vat. Im hoping with a new cat in place and the exhaust cleared, it wont leave any more blue smoke.
Hopefully il get it done asap, want it on the road!

Looks really nice on the 6 spokes mate
Shame about the fail hopefully the new cat will make it pass, I know how shit it is not having it on the road when you want it! At least you have another car though 
Looks good and really clean

Seems so random seeing my car posted in threads she looked mint there.
New car looks good!
Should have seen this a while back, ive got my white alloys with F1's and seriously contemplating selling them as they're just sitting around doing nothing.
5 of them with 5 centre caps, painted Honda Championship white, not sure what theyre worth though.

Wasnt sure whos car that was, Even though ive read the thread on it 
I'd love mine to look like that, But im trying to keep this car cheap, MHWs, lowering and stuff are out of the window, cba to spend too much money on it and it needs to be a good daily that will take anything (Inc big speedbumps lol)
If i hadnt of got these i would have bought yours
In other news, Got a new cat, fitted it along with my scorpion backbox as the std one was rotten as fuck and started to fall apart as i removed it.
Worst pic of the year:
Dont seem to smoke now, But will wait and see.

Interested in the smoked side reps off my old black one? I've still got them somewhere, very black but shine orange as standard lenses used.

Swapped the wheels between my two corsas while i sort a tyre problem on these 5spokes.

And finally, Anybody know if this, being a very late V reg sport, shouldnt it have "Tigra" Style clocks? Not like these?
