YES!

It's good to have a rear parking sensor though, look how much it helped @philgor when he first received anal!

Was about to tag him too haha!

Thanks for the heads up, will do mate. Have a lot of people interested in them , they have only covered 500 miles and are still like brand new.

you're welcome to have ago. it's a good cheep run about. easily get 40+mpg and it's pretty quick, quick enough to annoy people on the road

If it's not raising the compression ratio too high then I would imagine you'll be okay mate. Mine had clearance, just less then 60 thou so if I did miss a gear then I could be in a world of pain! Sunday - get the hubs done! Press the spindle into the hub bearing, remember to support the inner race of the bearing from behind! Then I pressed in the extended ball joints - removed the decal around the edge of the ball joint as it was just getting caught on the edge of the hole in the hub And reinstall on the car Brake disc and caliper carrier in place with all the shims in the right order to get the caliper and pads in the correct position relative the disc. I held the disc in place with a bolt temporarily and the wheel went on with no clearance issues. One corner left to do and it's back on its own wheels

So, today I installed a remapped ecu, courtesy of littlebo and ukcl9 off type accord. Have to say that it was worth every penny, as it's totally transformed the car. Red line used to be just over 7k, with vtec only kicking in at 6k... Pretty pointless really. Also, it had terrible throttle lag because of the drive by wire system thinking it knew better than your right foot. Now vtec comes in nice and smooth from 4.5k, red lines a bit higher, 1:1 ratio on the throttle, and more usable power (and k24 torque) throughout the revs. Really pleased that I've went for it, and Mrs B loves it too... She's buzzing off blowing away a boy racer today without dropping down to 2nd out of a roundabout. Nearly as fast as the deck

I've not got any picture's as of yet but I'll spill the beans on what's going on. I've bought another vti aerodeck but this one has already been boosted so I'll be transferring alot of parts over to my blue vti then selling off any bits I won't be using.

Got further with the front hubs. I took them into work to press the bearings in but the press is pretty basic and wasn't up to the task. Plan B needed! I managed with to press them in with my dads old hydraulic press and the old bearing shell in a few minutes I didn't think to bring a set of circlip pliers so cant lock in the bearing and press in the spindle but should have access to more tools tomorrow. Hard bit is done now though Dropped in to see how the engine build is getting on the way down to see family for the weekend. So glad I did as I was able to do some work in putting it together and help check a few bits. So, first build Andy did turned up that the valves got dangerously close to the pistons. He had to machine larger pockets in the top to give the clearance needed and we had to double check everything. We did one cylinder Also took the time to setup the vernier pulleys according to the Toda spec sheets. These cams are awesome build quality and the vernier pulleys are a work of art! No clearance issues anymore! Build can now continue!
