  1. Passed!!! 🥳🥳 A few very minor things picked up: A couple of tyres were mounted backwards on the rim... that was the guy in the tyre shop not paying attention not me. Easy fix just need to take them somewhere A very minor leak from one of the power steering lines (I have replaced them all and had the rack out so hopefully just something just needs tightening up) But considering the entire car has basically been rebuilt by two complete amateurs in a garage and on a driveway, I'll take that as a massive win 😂 The ECU tune definitely needs work as the throttle response is all over the place, but I was only able to tune it for idle and low speed driving up until this point (by driving very slowly around the driveway!). It's booked on for a Dyno session with Jesse (J-Cal) on 10th August so really looking forward to seeing what it makes but going to put some fairly gentle miles on it locally to give it a shakedown before the big day

  2. Thanks again Simon, I've managed to find the correct parts now (I hope) but not on there, they only had them for the decks not the MB's from what I can tell, I've had to order from Autodoc in Germany, downside is delivery times. But here are the part numbers for left & right side in case anyone else reads this & is looking for the right parts fingers crossed it helps others, what a nightmare trying to figure out the right parts though.

  3. Thanks both - exactly - i've already found loads of little things wrong but I was expecting that considering how much has changed! I've managed to move it to my place now (it was stuck at the in laws before) so I can do a few jobs on the driveway as and when Tidied up some wiring under the dash that I wasn't really happy with and mounted a fire extinguisher in front of the passenger seat - hopefully it'll never be needed but better safe than sorry! The bracket I used ("The Bracketeer") wasn't really the best fit for this car, It's a bit wonky as I could only get one adjustment bolt in on the right hand side as it's a bit too short, but I managed to make it work and it doesn't foul on the seat moving back and forth (And yes the entire car needs a clean both inside and out. It was parked in a garage with a large german shepherd for 18 months and I swear half of her is still in the car!)

  4. Hi I am currently putting a k20z4 from an fn2 into an mb3 1.5 vtec e “x reg”… it’s hard to find information out there about doing this swap, I believe I am the first to do the z swap with electric throttle etc, my main concern right now is I have heard a lot of different information about the conversion wiring loom, I’ve read online that an eg one is a direct plug and play but then people say it depends on the year… if someone could please let me know if this is the case, also I’m struggling to find out what nsf driveshaft I need it is 32mm hubs I managed to get b series outers onto fn2 shafts but they where too long on the near side “offside fits perfect” has anyone made up shafts and could let me know what ones I need to buy… thanks in advance I hope this forum is still used lol picture for attention

  5. I used this conversion harness on my 2001 MB2 so it should work for you. BWE Civic EG 92-95 Integra 94-01 K Series Swap Harness k20 Narrowband EU Version | eBay UK The ECU pinout for my car was somewhat mysterious but I managed to figure it out using wire colours. I did manage to get everything working properly - MIL light works as expected etc. Speedo and RPM works although the MPH is badly out, reading 40mph at 30mph, and so on - i'm going to try a "speedo healer" device at some point. I can't remember 100% as it was over a year ago now I did that part of the swap but here are some notes I had: The main one you need to find is the wire for the fuel pump relay, here is the extract from the service manual Wiring for MIL: Cooling fan: Driveshafts I used OEM EP3 ones and swapped the inners joints side-to-side, knocked off the 36mm CV joints and used blueprint outer CV joints suitable for civic EG6 (32mm). No issues yet... Do NOT buy cheap aftermarket ones, you cant use them as the splines don't accept replacement CV joints.

  6. Bought a VTI front lip for the aerodeck, got some slightly lower springs so it sits lower by a smidge and got temporary 15 inch summer wheels since last time. Had the car for almost a year now and I loved every single second of owning it
