    mmmh, that sounds cool, not seen that colour I dont think.

    Yeah the engine is amazing... closest I've had to a bike... first few times revving it out I was bouncing off the limiter cos I was LOVING the noise too much and forgot/didnt want to change gear hahaha.

    Don't see too many of them about really either which I like.

    Only problem with engine is if you want to push on, you are doing crazy speeds if your revving it into the VTEC even in 3rd!!!

    I quite like how it seems to be 2 cars... below 6,000 rpm it just rolls along, but above 6,000 and it SCREAMS at you... "REV ME"!!! haha

    Hats of your work is nothing short of spectacular. Hamish love the car I had a crx once the newer one and loved the vtec engine. Always thought about one of these too. Now all you have to do is keep it that way.

    Did you have the car warmed up and PW lightly the engine bay then with with the G101 then a quick rinse?
    thats what I normally do but I didnt want to get the fancy Vtec all wet so I just had to spray it with G101 and wipe it all down by hand before dressing with aero 303.
