The wax is a turtle wax from halfrauds with carnuba wax in it, I have some other stuff as well that i'll use on it, like a claying kit, few shampoo's and some polishes. My next purchase is a tub of Dodo Juice as I hear it's fantastic!
1.6, couldn't insure the 1.8 as I'm only 17 :(

The best polish I could recommend is a yacht polish that is a little expensive but well worth it, your paintwork stays like it has rainex covering it, it last for a year but the main brightness lasts a good 2 months on good paintwork.
Its this stuff , Star bright marine polish with PTEF
PTEF is a chemical used for waterproofing canvas and is a type of teflon in the marine industry just this stuff makes the paintwork look the nuts, we use it on racing yachts because its so water repellent it makes the yachts go faster through the water because they have less drag + frictionAVAILABLE FROM HERE

ehhhhhh….... ptfe is nearly the worst thing you could put near a cars paint work fine if your doing underwater driving but please dont use that crap it'll embed itself into your paint and lift the laqure

I did check with a valeting company if you can use it on cars before hand and they seemed to think it was perfectly fine, on the bottle its stated as fine on painted surfaces and my car hasnt lost any lacquer yet after over a years worth of polishing every 3 months with it.
After a quick search I have found that there are 4 main companies using PTFE +PTEF including turtle wax and car-tek so it cannot be that bad

black mx with bronze alloys would look the nutz, nice clean motor mate :D

Finally got rid of the awful gearknob fitted to the car today and put on one from a 323f, so happy days.
But more importantly… Collecting an Eunos Presso front lip on Sunday! :D
It's silver so it will have to get sprayed, but I'd say I'll just fit it to the car anyway. :)

Collected the Eunos Presso front lip today, don't have a pic as I can't find the camera… :(
Just begun rubbing it down to take a few of the scuffs out and to ready it for a coat of primer. Looks well cool and can't wait to get it onto the car, I'll probably try hunt down the full length JDM sideskirts as well but they are really rare so I doubt I'll come accross them.
But, on a more exciting note, in the near future there is a Jap Import MX coming up for sale that I might be buying for parts, so that will mean I'd be getting a load of the stuff I want from that car, like the V6 wheels and JDM spoiler...and hopefully the twin pipe exhaust if that will fit. Has anybody tried putting the tailpipe from a V6 onto a 1.6 and does it fit directly on without modification? I've got a feeling the pipe diameter will be different.... :/
