Started taking it apart. Swapped turbine housing for bigger one. Power drops off higher up the revs on the smaller housing. Not ideal for my goal. Needs flow.

Bosh!!! Happy to report I have 4 blower settings again and i didnt even need to swear at it to get it done lol

Hi looking for a little advice. Does anyone know if (or has anyone fitted) the “sportex Honda Civic performance exhaust race tube For the hatch & saloon 1.3i, 1.5i, 1.6i 1991-2000 models” fit the Aerodeck (I know they me be short on the length) but wondered if the diameter would still be fine? i have tried to email the company but still no answer on it. any help would be much appreciated

I do have a ctek conditioner. But not the best doesn't always kick back in and still end up with a flat. Hopefully if can slow it down that will be still be better. Think my old battery just isn't as good as it was anyway. Maybe would last a week parked up if lucky. Usually only use the car when desperate, Mrs out etc. then go to start and it's dead. Nightmare lol. Seen that type of isolator. Makes sense having it on the neg, however this combined with fuse so goes on live. And just press the button.

Haha, one of the most common jobs on these Civics lol Glad to see you've got it done. Makes such a difference having all the fan speeds and not just one or two of them. Nice to see your restoring her, I've kind of went full circle with my Aerodeck in that she was modded then turned into a show car (as respect to my late wife who's car it was) but have slowly returned her back to standard-ish spec. Gone is the lowered suspension etc, so she now rides a lot better and is more useable. Really needing to get stuck into her underside and get that all cleaned up and re-undersealed. It's a never ending job with these lol

Thanks for all your welcomes. I'll be doing a fair bit of work on the old girl this year as I'm determined to get her back to her showroom best. I figured everyone else is modding their civics so I'm gonna go the opposite way and try and keep mine as standard as possible. I've promised my lad the car on his 18th birthday so I've got 4 years to get her finished lol. Anyhow so the 1st job of the year is ........ Wish me luck!! Joe ✌️

That's a neat solution is that Jake. Also, just noticed the foam tool/jack holder in the hatch is different to the deck - the deck one sits in the spare wheel. Quite like the one in the hatch there. Exciting stuff for the engine swap mate!

Back on this project now. Constantly having issues with a flat battery cus car isn't daily driven. So figured fit an isolator so can easily kill the power when parked up. At same time wanted to move the battery to the boot. Been fighting against s**tty weather and not managing to get anything done. Finally a dry few hours. Chose a slightly different battery that will go under the boot floor. Riveted a little plate to battery tray to hold fuse and isolator. Mounted it all up made up some cables. New catch can in old batts place as need 4 breathers now. Hard decision to start on as it's been running so great. But time to disconnect everything and start swapping engine over. Eeeek
