chindeck

Thank you so much for all the information, super useful stuff, hopefully I can put it all to good use 😀 A really overdue update: Replaced the front calipers, disks and pads (took a long time as I lost the locking wheelnut key like an absolute spanner) Put her in for MOT and failed on the rear trailing arm bushing which cost £80 to get replaced Finally got my accord tourer off the road and am now using the aerodeck as my daily Got a bit of noise from the drivers rear brake, hopefully some incorrect assembly as I was doing it in the p**sing rain (hoping its not another caliper on its way out). And the CV boots on the drivers side are pretty knackered so need to replace them at some point Aiming to be more active on the forum this year and hopefully giving you guys plenty of reading material Looking at doing some audio upgrades in the near future any advice/experience would be very much appreciated. A very late merry crimbo and new years to all as well 😁

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! 😁

Cheers for the reply Dave Done some basic service, oil and filter and brake bleeding, air filter was bramd new when i bought it as well as the spark plugs looking fairly new, previous owner only had it 2 years and the bloke before him had it from new, its had some sort of rust prevention work previously on the rear arches from the original owner. Didnt know the boot floor was a common spot on these so will give a good check when I have the chance. Anyone know about exhaust manifold fitment on these? Got a friend with a japspeed 4-2-1 from his d16 eg hatch that he's k swapping. Would be a nice upgrade if it fits

Hi everyone, My name's Nishan, since ive been reading through some of the threads I figured id make an introductory post 🙂 Ive got an manual MC1 aerodeck with a D16W4 on 118k that I picked up as an MOT failure about a month ago for £800, its got an enormous stack of history and im the 3rd owner Been fixing her up slowly over the last month, getting the bits done for a fresh MOT, rear passenger caliper was seized when I bought it and was pretty much the first thing I did along with discs and pads both sides on the rear. Next issue to sort was the horn not working which I stupidly assumed was the clockspring since I had the exact same issue on my first car which was a D14 mb6 and I know its a common issue on old civics. Replaced it and ended up buying a used horn since my multimeter packed up so I just guessed it had to be one of the two. Replaced both the sidelight bulbs since they had burnt out and lastly i had an exhaust leak from the mid section and backbox, since someone had previously taken a few speed bumps pretty enthusiastically and put a nice collection of holes on the bottom managed to score the backbox and mid section for £100 on ebay brand new and almost finished fitting it last weekend, just need to drill out the old bolts to the cat that are pretty in there and that should pass me the MOT fingers crossed 😀. Im thinking of doing some coolant bypass bits as I've heard its a good modification on the D series engines. If anyone knows a thread that explains how best to go about it or has done it themselves please let me know, would be much appreciated Im aiming to put it on the road as my daily as I'm currently dailying a manual honda accord CM2 2.2 diesel which has a nasty bit of timing chain rattle, so im gonna switch them around and daily the civic while I replace the timing chain along with any other bits that need doing. Any info in regards to preventative maintenance on the aerodeck would be greatly appreciated as im not super well versed in the common issues these suffer from. Cheers guys 😁
