Illumination is orange I think so might be OK

another couple of jobs ticked off the list this morning.
Removed the headlights and disassembled them to give them a deep clean (now to make them perfect I need to get new seals and new lens, so more things to the list lol)

and in bits

I used a 22mm holesaw to enable the new light and loom to pass into the headlamp.
One side plugged into the original lamp connector and the other I soldered to the earth post inside the headlamp, making them self contained and other than the ballasts there was nothing else on the outside.
I changed the sidelights to Philips LED's to match the colour of the new lamps but they need to be a little bit more white, so will probably go for 5000 on the LED's.
Then it was the turn of the ambient temp display bulb.
Removed the steering wheel and upper column shroud it was then just 2 screws to remove the instruments
The temp display just unscrewed from the instruments then I disassembled that.

I took note from one of the very helpful posts that had documented this previously and snipped the old LED off rather than unsolder it from the board.
I purchased from Maplins a CJ70M LED and soldered that on

Then reassembled, I could not believe how scratched the instruments panel was, so I must have spent an age with Peek, and various body compounds removing most of the scratched, looks a lot better IMHO.


In other news the car is off to the bodyshop next weekend for a weeks holiday, so I get to strip it down for them next Saturday for them to paint the roof and make it all minty fresh. they are going to trizac the whole body to remove as much of the orange peel finish and give the paint more depth, so cannot wait for that.
Found the find of the century that will suit the car to a T, I wanted to fit a stereo that would match the interior and look of the car, yet still play CD's (I am not bothered about Bluetooth and other stuff).
I loved the look of the Gamma CD radios and did actually find a seller in Germany that will sell me one but I found an old school Nakamichi CD stereo, which is a 6 stack all contained in the headunit. So am smiling at that purchase as it is brand new, still in it's box. Someone must have left it at the back of a store room lol.

Just got to hope the lighting matches otherwise it's coming to bits so it does...

ok, it looks like the seat colour is original as my data sticker codes match the list Dave posted.

N1U/VC should be Silk Napa Leather Seat Covering in cognac (brown)

I am going to PM you in a moment.

but surely the door cards would be in the same material? mine are black...
so, now I know the material code, anyone know if the material is still available? as would love the door cards in the same to match.

also, just a pic to show the new aero's on the front but still need to address the rear

HID's where from ebay and yes they are 4300k 55w digital AC types...

[bilko0795]

Just order a set of 55w HID's in 4300k and some Phillips 501 4000k LED sidelight bulbs to improve the lighting at the front end.
The ambient temperature display on the dash has a none illuminating light so a cj70m 3mm miniature LED from Maplins has also been ordered.

Anyone with an ABY coupe who has done the rear aero wiper mod know exactly which parts are required? The search was a little inconclusive, if a front wiper arm is used on the rear does that mean then that the aerodynamic aspect of the blade is then the wrong way round?

Where did you get your hid's from ? and what colour are 4300k ?

Dave that is awesome, many thanks... will look at it tomorrow

1998 Honda Fireblade, stock is 128bhp, mine made 143bhp on stock cams. Engine is 0.25mm oversize as needed a rebore and ma using stock OE pistons. Everything was weight matched to within 0.01g and then dynamically balance, crank was knife edged and had 1kg removed from it.
Headers are made from 0.5mm wall thick Titanium

and have fitted the rear subframe from a 2005 Yamaha R1 so I could have the twin underseat exhaust.
She needs paint but other wise looks stock
