looks awesome dude nice work! sweet ass tyres, make u wanna cry when on the way home from a service today at Hanny's you find a 3 inch steel nail in one

Phrash, dont use metal polish on your beaks bar, it would take off the gold paint on the outside. Not really sure what you can use, maybe try a little bit of maguirs cut and polish first before hitting metal/bronze polish. And btw the car looks awesomeness.

lOOKS REAL GOOD PRASH, BUT i personally dont like all the work emotion stickers, its too much imo.

installed my rear gold tow hook..the back of the car looks so hot combined with the gold lcas..if i can restore the colour of beaks bar then its pure s3x!:P

didnt install my front tow hook as i need to add some spacers to clear the bumper so will do that in coming months. cant wait for the next JDMST/Clubitr meet so I can clean my car properly and finally show it off!!:P

make it and all future meets within a week of jdmst meets so I dont have to wash my car twice

so tried cleaning and my beaks bar with degreaser and some normal car polish..it got a bit fo the dirt off but its quite faded and brown ...also cleaned the engine bay and noticed something strange..it seems the previous owner has changed the pulleys..i could only check the power steering pulley and its an obx racing series item..i have no idea y someone would change the pulleys on the car tho?:S...also i have purple/pink pulley at the bottom and i doubt very much honda uses coloured pulleys...if only i could find out what else has been done to the car so I know what i have and what I dont have to change :P

JEEBUS thats a little concerning! Changing pulleys on a K20 is a very debated topic, one dude on crsx has been running the obx full underdrive pulley set for over 2 years without problems, least they look nice

i want to get the stock pulleys all polished and paint my valve cover lol. After new suspension

btw dude how does the car feel with the new wheel/tyre combo?

yeah but u dont really notice the polished pulley ( i didnt notice mine for almost 2 yrs :P)..wouldve been better if the coloured pulley was used for the power steering pump instead being buried away...

so uve decided on ur suspension?...i havent even driven the car since ive fited my wheels and tires :P
