    Great transformation Scott, the wheels always make a huge visual improvement compared to the early type. Gear knob is interesting looking, first I've seen of that type on an Auto, seen some others before in Japan but nothing like this one.

    Andrew just recently purchased the horn kit so he should have a recent price. From memory your looking at £160++

    Thanks Sudesh, I am pleased with the updates so far. At £160 I think I'll live with the momo horn push for now and keep my eyes open.
    when I bought the wheels from prime (your suggestion as I recall) they came with Acura centre caps so I got the wheel refurb people to fill and paint them and then bought Honda decals from eBay for £5. Not factory but they look good in my opinion.

    I made the change purely for aesthetic reasons but I remember it made more difference to the "feel", not necessarily weight, than I though it would. That was years ago now so I can't remember the specifics. I'm not sure of the maths but it's about 5% smaller so there should be about 5% less movement (at the rim) and therefore require 5% more heft??? Except of course that the EPS system might minimise the extra effort required and therefore the smaller movement makes it feel lighter?

    Cheers

    It was quicker & easier to achieve that interior look by buying a Toyota GT86.

    “I find myself irresistibly attracted to cars that nobody else buys. The NSX is a classic of the genre because nobody buys it and yet it’s a fantastic car. It’s got a wonderful compactness and simplicity and unpretentiousness to it. Honda rudely continues to make them whether we like it or not, even though there can be no commercial logic in doing so — I thoroughly admire that.” Rowan Atkinson

    Much warmer this weekend in my garage so I took advantage of having Saturday off and went to work with the new DA polisher. Whilst I am still not happy with the roof and will spend more time on this another day the overall difference in the car is amazing. Once all the surface swirls are polished out of the paintwork it gives it real depth so happy

    Fitted the newly assigned plate to the car and I think it sets it off really well. I know we all know how old it is but to those that don't you would think its 22 years old would you?

    Great transformation, stereo looks nice and the steering wheel and shiftknob "lifted" the interior.
