new rear brake lines, hoses (current are blue!) thermo insulation for cables etc, nimbus for driveshaft boot and toe links heat shield, new  tensioner pulley and idler pulley as the current ones sound like the bearings are gone or pretty much gone!

MIght have been cheaper to just get new bearings for the idler and tensioner, although if I remember correctly the complete ones are not that  crazy expensive as an 'original Honda part' though and good bearings in small quantities can quickly go up in price.

 

Bye, Arno
