Bought myself a steam cleaner for the car, er mean house ;)
Used it as my seats looked a bit tarnished even once wet vac'd
Really impressed with it. Seats look a lot better, also did all the seals n dash etc come out really well
One negitive is I've lost my jacking cover again, going to buy the bloody steamer

That's quality - that is a 90's Honda Prelude look with exhaust tips that small!
Still loving this build Jake - which steam cleaner did you go for? Still need to get round to firing up the one I bought on my ED30's interior...

Just a vac one. Around £100 but it's done a really good job.
Exhaust was a joke. For some reason the server swap has lost about 10 of my last posts.
I did run a straight through exhaust but it was raspy, loud and out right Barry boy nova style. So the Oe one is back on and I'm deciding what to do.

Today, after the fail of the exhaust I decided to do this,

You can see the perforated holes, all four pipes have these, I've already covered the lower two, with half a piece of pipe,
This is all the fibreglass stuffing. Enough for two bin bags,

Here's the pipes all covered

We did weld all the edges before putting half the stuffing back in and welding shut,
The idea of this is. The perforated holes make the exhaust quieter and slow down the gases, by blocking off half these holes I've made the car louder and still kept away form any raspy-ness....
I can still open the other side and block the rest of the holes should I want more noise,
But tbh I'm happy with the sound, very oem just a bit deeper.
Here's a very pants vid.
Really doesnt represent the sound
