Good afternoon to all, My name is Samuel , I am a dutch automotive student that studies Automotive Engineering. I've recently bought a bargian if i may say so. Thanks to Twan who is also a Aerodeck owner here i bought it. Hereby i introduce to you my 1999 Civic Aerodeck 1.5 V-tec-E. for 300 Euro. This car is only Honda Dealer Serviced so no third party's had touch this car for repairs and service. It has a fully new APK ( A yearly check up). And i know you guys will think, why is it so cheap. Well...... It has a cooling issue which i cannot source the problem. I thought of a air bleeding issue in de cooling system. It overheated when a have exited the runway so no Wind that cools the liquid. The fan works totally fine. So the only thing that i have concluded is that it has a bad gasket leak. So i will repair that in a couple of weeks, this and ofcourse some new fluids. new oil, new clutch and new sparkplugs while i am at it. But hereby i will end with some pictures.( It is quite dirty because did not had time to wash it good ! )

I wanted to get the engine back in today but the new sub frame bolts I ordered wasn't right. But there is a few rust scabs that I'm going to get sorted and with the engine out it'll be easier. Put the subframe collars in today, ordered what I'm hoping will be the correct subframe bolts and some polly bush antiroll bar bushes. Had a little issue with the oem fuel rail where it wouldn't sit flush with the inlet but some little rubber bushes sorted that out.

Awesome build, cant wait to see whats next lad.

Godd stuff so far, why a stage 4 clutch?

was going to say about the starter motor! looks great so far mate

got a few jobs done and dusted. the engine and gear box has been cleaned and painted, cambelt and water pump done, fly wheel skimmed and stage 4 clutch fitted. Also had a few brackets and bits powder coated, might have the engine back in tomorrow. Has any had any experience with the skunk2 ultra intake manifolds on here?

well the turbo project starts now. I was planning on buying a complete car then break that and keep all the turbo bits for myself. But I'm quite impatient and then this manifold, turbo and Watergate came up local, all brand new and at a good price. I think I'll be having a little drive down to Tegiwa on Saturday to get some more bits!
