And thats why it absolutely rinsed Car of the Year

Well the idea is that the air/fuel mix is detonated at just the right time to create the most efficient use of compression and the mix. If its way out then some problems can occur. Suppose the biggest being Detonation. As the fuel could be ignited whn the cylinder is becoming smaller the explosion will cause a huge shock to the piston, rod, bearings etc. To check. Bridge the diagnostics connector to stop the ecu tinkering with it. Then use a timing light. There's a 4 marks on crank pulley. Tdc and 14,16,18 degrees before tdc. 16 is optimal. I wouldn't be concern about it even if it is out. ecu can compensate. And it's not like we're boosted up or anything

I think it's going to be a case of trying to roll the front arches some how :/ as with the inner arch... Well... There isn't much of that left anyway due to scrubbing already! Will get a picture up if the weather is ok today to show how much room I actually have between the arch and tyre on the front. I can't get my little finger or my willy in there.... Safe to say, that's a small gap!! More parts came yesterday Cheers krzys for the edit it's annoying trying to Upload pics now :/

Emmm ordinarily i would say yes but i think i may get in trouble now. You seen how power mad the ADMIN get on here i don't want to risk my promotion so soon LOL... errr what have i just said Right i retract that statement and would like to confirm that i don't think the ADMIN are power mad at all and in fact are the complete opposite.. That should cover it LOL

Its just about taking that 'shine' off it .. So the primer has an adhesive surface to stick onto ..

indeed the Twix was a well earned bit of day time sugar rush, i think they should come free with parts

Yeah! If you're on Facebook then just search for "Jim'll paint it" and you'll see what I mean!

LOL it clearly say "it was 4 or 500ml can too" Must Try Harder.......

Exactly that. 4 x 500ml, I should hope you'd have a bit left over from that. As Jake said the lower the number the more coarse the paper, 400 or 600 should be coarse enough to take the shine off and give it a key then move up to 800 and 1200, wipe it with a degreaser, whack some primer on, let it dry, hit that with a wet piece of 2000, allow it to dry again, wipe it with degreaser, light coat of paint, leave it 10 mins, slightly heavier coat, 10 more mins, heavier again coat, when that's dry wet 2000 again (lightly) dry, wipe down and lacquer building up again.

Wide but narrow! I had just gone into my settings to see what the rules were but mine just says I can have whatever the 4uck I want

6 different model M's aswell, which is cool

Nice list of cars again, well done chaps You gotta be in it to win it

It will get a sports cat one day, but it'll cost alot to get it bought and fitted, so I got better things to buy pre-JapFest!

More planning while I'm skint due to my circumstances . Thinking of redoing my front grill. My plan is to fit RED mesh to it and rewrap the H in black.( don't know how this will look so how requested it in the photoshop thread) hopefully get a idea there how it'll look. As well as that. Thinking of STEALING maz's mod with the mouldings and carbon wrapping them. Thinking bout the door pillar trims to but unsure on that. See how I get on with the mouldings. (Soz maz lol.) Getting my mg spoiler painted. (Plasti dip). Windscreen sun strip (http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/honda-sun-strip-windscreen-banner-decal-/170688196890?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item27bdcf311a) Carbon wrapping the sun visors Carbon wrapping some more plastic bits inside ( dash surround and on the bit where the dials sit if u get what I mean.) Tinting the rest of the windows ( quarter windows already done for anybody who ain't b following lol) Gear stick gaitor. ( wanting the red stitching one from ebay) Fan blades. ( we won't mention these to much tho lol rrrrr) Vti-s lip kit Cup holder for armrest Fix front bumper Rocker cover.( powder coating. Black with red honda) Paint some items red under bonnet. (Radiator support, battery clamp etc) That's it at moment. Have decided I have far to much time on my hands to think bout s**t at moment. Better thinking bout good stuff like my car and bike and family than dwindling on the fact I ain't working.

just fricking awesome . You know when we all get a chance to see this, we're all going to look like right bellends crawling all over the floor to see the underside!

They don't tend to be made of good quality mate and won't last too long. You get what you pay for with anything

Grant "EPICNESS" is the aim. but i still have a long way to go on the proformance as i will track the dodo out of it when it's not posing lol

no Kyfer Morgan to much white,the black breaks up the white and brings the rubber and the rest of the black detailing I'm doing .

Wow, just gets more awesome. Can't wait to see these fitted.

Lol, I probably would actually, despite all the messing on here you're a decent chap. Not sure about Krzys though. Brace for the editing.

David doesn't have a diary! I am he's diary, so just consult me & I'll sort it lol & not all ADMIN are power mad I'll have you know Mr B... Oops, just seen you retract that statement so I'll let you off

Nice, intake pipe looks better black.

Who's the tallest of them all?? Oh wait, no, that's not me

It would be nice if I could get on her more often. On a better note my new ball joints have turned up today

I had a galaxy ghia Tdi 130 for a few years mate, served us well.

Fair play to you chap, 2's enough for me.

I was pretty impressed too. Never thought I was particularly arty

Must read things properly I think it's a 500ml, anyway you should only need about a quarter for those little bits.

Excellent! Not 4 x 500ml cans, a 400ml or 500ml can, just the one Cheers Jake & Nick!

sweet, that'll do for me then. so now the smaller engines? no matter what the size run the same internal parts? I only ask as there are many a yard of angry men chasing away those of us looking through the chain linked fence at our precious, on Saturday gone I was up in Smethwick, I swear the guy there must spend all day running around his yard with a broom chasing away part hunters, quiet the sport!

The bigger the number the finer it is. It's all about sandy bits per inch. So 180 has 180 coarse bits per inch. 1200 has 1200 finer bits per inch. Something like that anyway

I think to keep it simple I'd get my brother to do those jobs at the same time on a ramp if/when he can! Need them doing before MOT time along with rear tires but I've got a bit of time yet! Be nice to have a knock free drive though!

Because what she has seen cannot be unseen?

Just read your through your build mate, amazing job so far buddy! working very quickly on it with some excellant quality parts. Very jealous of the coils especially! The wheels came out awesome, really fancy doing mine that colour now too (mines a silver deck). If you do the chrome PB then do the rub strips the same (unless they already PB) and that would look sweet. If they are standard black plastic then do the chrome satin black. Just my opinion tho. Keep up the great work bud Dom

Thats the spirit mate. Nice plans as well Love the way all the M's on here are forever evolving into more and more immense machines...

I think I might try that when I get one!

Lol crawling will get you everywhere with me. The krzys Mr B appreciation society. Ha ha As long as it more flattery then thats all good

A week on and all seems well. No leaks found, checked under the dash at the pedals and all seems dry. So hopefully thats all it needed. Gav

WELL right now i'd love to show a photo of my hat collection (yes, i have one!) but the bags are in the basement... but you can trust me, they won't run out!

Was actually surprised u hadn't , seeing u r MR CARBON

Oh, now I can't imagine where we can find a ready supply of hats.

New bits! These went in already: Except for the rotor, the screw was absolutely and utterly stuck! Will need some special moves to get it out. I've never changed the leads, rotor or the dizzy cap (had the car for 5 years now), so thought it was about time. Especially for the cap, the plastic cracked around where the screws go in when i removed it! I haven't given her a proper trashing yet to find out if the power curve has smoothed any as some people say Magnecors + quality plugs will do. And do you know what's cool? When the doorbell rings at 9 in the morning, and there's a courier with a big box and you haven't got slightest idea what he's hauling in until you open it and remember it's some tuning bits you ordered in the middle of the night a week earlier! Energy Suspension motor mount inserts (evil cat not included!). Hope these'll eliminate the massive wheel hop i get during quick launches. In addition, i've got a pretty good sum saved up for something big! MeisterR's? Complete new exhaust? New wheels? I also need a cam belt replacement soon so maybe new cams and gears and a tuning session...? So many options to waste my hard earned money on! Thank god for a proper hobby.

Nice splash of colour on the wheels. Yeah, like that idea, will certainly change the look of the car!

The white lip kit looks much better IMO!! Great work!! And with the blue rims you have planned.... Oh my...

I took the rear off of mine. Not the fronts though there useful

Love the engine bay mate. .the rocker cover settles in perfectly.. And the tow hook looks nice also. . Where did you order magnecor from?
