    Know what you mean about the weather. In theory winter's the perfect time to get sone jobs done cos the deck is off the road, but got zero motivation to do anything in the cold / wet / dark. 

     

    @Dave any idea why Jake can't post pics? 

    Yes totally.  Have to start tinkering with bikes soon. At least in the dry. Iva baught a Suzuki bandit 1200 with intentions to turbo charge.

    Was gonna put some pics up of work from stock to this point. But can't upload pics anymore for some reason. 

    Bit fed up with the weather tbh. Got some small jobs I'd like to be doing but s**tting it down all the while.

    Welcome back mate, good to see you back in a civic - looks up to your usual minter standard 😎

    Nice - I have seen those blackline LSDs and was dubious due to the low price but i'm glad that it seems to be working out for you.

    Quaife is about double the price ~£400 vs ~ £800.

    Well so far so good mate.

    Thanks.. 

    Suppose which diff depends on your budget and goals. 

    I've put a black line helical diff in this. 

    Seems to work as intended, however I did only choose it as got a fantastic deal on it. 350ish brand new delivered from somewhere. Matt Lewis racing possibly. Not aggressive at all but locks up when plant your foot.

    I've had a m factory race pack diff previously, that was very good.

    I believe quaife etc are bit steeper but often you get what you pay for.

    Obvs plates diffs are noisier and do wear out eventually.

    Hi, realise I've been a bit of a stranger here lately. Apologies. Hope the team is good,

    Glad to see still going strong.

    Thaught id pop in as been tinkering again. History repeating I suppose.

    This time gone for an ep3 and made a fast road car/semi track car.

    Baught late 2024 from Southampton. Got it back and realised it was originally from my local honda dealer. So it came home really. 

    Complete Stock car well used but with plenty of history, not the best example but far from a nail. 

    In the last 12 months. Ive done lots of bits. From tidying underside underside. Rebushed. Rebuilt rack. Powder coated arms. New everything really. New timing chain etc.  Rebuilt the gearbox. Added lsd. Then started prepping for turbo.  Quite a bit of work to do on these to make room for the setup as there's looms and lines everywhere on the bulkhead. 

    Anyway lots of custom bits and 3d printed stuff later. And I won't say it's complete. Cus they never are. But it's a pretty wild little car now. Lots of fun.

    Bush Replacement

    in Chassis

    Posted

    Easiest way to get these out I've done it many times. Heat them with a blow lamp till they burn. The rubber turns to ash and you can take the tube out. 

    Then cut a slit in the outer ring in two places 180 degrees from one another using hacksaw or similar. 

    Really easy.

    mb1 convergence (toe)

    Posted

    Rear toe is adjusted from the link at the very front of the trailing arm.

    In front of the large bush.

    As for settings. Most cars something like 1 Deg tow in rear is satisfactory. 

    But if take to to a garage that does wheel alignment they will look up the correct settings

    Sill rust concern

    in SOS! Help!!

    Posted

    Hmm I wouldnt. It's a common issue for sure. But they rust from the inside out usually so if you attempt a repair be prepared for the inner sill jacking point all to need repair. Gets expensive quickly

    On the night shift downtime and was having a read through this thread, thought the car looked awful familiar. Saw it at cadwell a while back, with presumably its new owner. Looked and sounded amazing, went like f**k too! ahaha

    Glad he's enjoying it. Really shouldnt have sold it tbh. Moment of madness haha.
