Thanks for the reply SirPaperbag, Really useful info on the manifold, I'm holding off on it for the moment as im unsure whether I want to go down the turbo route or not, havent found a solid answer in terms of a reliable power figure on stock engine internals when going for a turbo setup (answers seem to vary so if anyone has a solid answer I'd love to hear it 😀). Ive had a fair check on the rust front and the previous undersealing work seems to be fairly extensive (luckily) so im not worried about immenent issues for now Ill bear the distributor in mind, thanks for the recommendation on a decent replacement too much appreciated Hoping to do some ecu modification to make use of any upgrades in regards to making power, have come across a lot of people talking about OBD1 conversions to make this process easier, any info on anything ecu related would be really useful! 😁

Thanks

Basically any D-Series manifold will fit all kinds of engines out of that particular family. Except D17s, those are "special" (aka the worst engines Honda ever made). Got a 4-2-1 header myself that I bought when my car still had the stock D14 in it and it directly fit my D16Z9 without any modifications. And I can attest to the rust concerns - my rear arches were pretty bad (but still manageable) when I got mine, the front corners where the fenders meet the sideskirts were rotten through and the rear corners are also slowly starting to bloom, as well. Definitely make sure to check those spots when you've got the time! Oh, and your distributor is probably going to die at some point. All of them do, it's kind of inevitable. Do yourself a favor and don't get one of those repro units when it finally goes out - Blueprint and Yingzhen and whatnot units are all Chinesium garbage. The only high-quality replacement I could find was one of those rather tacky sounding "Dragon Fire" units, but quality-wise they are pretty much OEM+, made in the US (not China), and even provide a stronger spark than the stock dizzys do. Other than that, welcome to the club! :)

Welcome mate. Nice looking Aerodeck that, looks clean. Things to prevent on these... rust,rust and rust! Rear arches, sills at rear and also inner sills. They also rust away from left to right along the boot floor, kinda up behind the tank out of sight. Mechanics wise, usual thing like giving them a good service to keep them on song. Your timing belt is probably due changing too.

Cheers dude! Checked for vac leaks already and none have came up, used soapy water, as well as the old brake cleaner technique Definitely reckon it’s throttle body related, will dive into it this weekend

I've banned the IP mate. Maybe give you a call at the weekend and show you how to do it. Have noticed the admin panel is hardr to navigate on the tablet compared to the laptop.

Meantto update this lol. Not much happening in DDs world at the moment since I bought TypeS aka Lexy2 as my daily driver. DD now being kept as the classic, so tucked up for winter now. No more salty roads for her!

Wow! Mate that's amazing! Pm me how much you'd like for it please! It's slightly different from DDs other one but I can make it work!🙂
