Andy Mc Posted March 14, 2022 Report Share Posted March 14, 2022 Looks tidy, headlamps look great and clear too. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteviesV6 Posted March 15, 2022 Author Report Share Posted March 15, 2022 Really tidy car honestly mate. It's got 3 little dints, 2 small patches of rust on opposite rear sides where the bumper meets the car and a large patch running down the rear arch about 12inches long which needs sorting. I suspect it's been dry stored inbetween use as it's so clean underneath. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteviesV6 Posted March 15, 2022 Author Report Share Posted March 15, 2022 Hey cheers @hughezee much appreciated. Soo plans are. First and foremost is decat and I know some don't like it and appreciate the points but it's rife on these old honda so I'll do it before it happens to me. Then gearbox oil change as per the instructions and fluid recommendations cheere fellas. Oil and filter change and if someone has a link to the correct s2000 filter then awesome. Then I've got to tackle the patch on the back, it seems someone has had a gb sticker on her, tried to pull it off but has somehow pulled the paint off so instead has sprayed over it with silver paint it looks tatty so will be sorted. Then the rust which tbh I'm not sure how to attack yet the only real bad bit is down the rear arch. Pics coming up. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The correct filter is 15400 pcx 004, or 306 There is a big variation in costs, best I have found in a quick look is at Balmer Honda, £12.95 delivered. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/393767105751 Sometimes buying 2 or more from a cheaper place like Tegiwa will give you a shipping saving when they have an offer on ,,,,,bit expensive at moment. https://www.tegiwaimports.com/genuine-honda-s2000-oil-filter.html Of course there are good alternatives against that Honda part number too.. Hamp filters, Jap filters are good too. Holdcroft Honda worth checking out for genuine filters. Have a look here as well. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteviesV6 Posted March 17, 2022 Author Report Share Posted March 17, 2022 Hey cheers pal I've got the s2000 one saved in my basket comes in at £13 so not bad at all, my decat pipe has arrived from the netherlands so that will be fitted, I did enquire with Cox parts regarding the flexi pipe but from a chat and the diagram they sent me it seems it comes with 2 flanges one for each bank and the price is (please take a seat) £350. I enquired about the o2 sensors and 1 yes 1 is £570 🤣 the guy was proper helpful so I picked his brains and got some useful parts numbers. I've fitted a pair of twin horns but whilst doing this bearing in mind my bonnet is on gas struts I feels something strike my head and line behold the bonnet belted me. New bonnet rams in the ebay basket altho I did find some on Ali express for a fraction of the price 🤔 It's been a busy car day, also got a price to repair the sticker paint peel on the back bumper £140 and to treat the large arch rust patch is £250 per panel. Do these seem good prices guys? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you mean do one change straight for the good stuff or do a couple of carplan atfu changes with a few hundred miles inbetween? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah ok no worries. I'll have a see as I'm sure when I bought the filter for the civic it came with that bag of washers with a leaflet saying what's for what. It's mostly smooth changing as I pick up speed but changing down feels just a bit heavy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
