    arb query for mc1

    KiNK43 replied to MC2wo's topic in Chassis

    Even the vti deck didn't have one. Just the fastback had rear arb for some reason.

    No not really mate. Maybe 1500. Last time I took the car out. Went to caffeine and machine. And was driving along at 50mph. Suddenly steering wheel was shaking and droning noise. Suspected driveshaft but turns out was bearing flapping all over the place.

    arb query for mc1

    KiNK43 replied to MC2wo's topic in Chassis

    I think the bolt holes are there on the chassis legs. But maybe not on the control arm. I have two spare mb6 18mm arbs if you need one and a set of control arms( however the bushes have seen better days)

    Well just waiting on fluids now and it'll be ready to turn the key. Engines back in and ready. Hoping it's ok as not been run for a very long time. Had to change a front wheel bearing. 1 year old and let me down. Loads of play. Looks menacing ready to hit the street again!!

    Haha kinda in its third phase now. Plan is to build the forged motor up again and aim for more power. Shame to pull it really. Pleased with it as my first full engine build. All looks mint inside when swapped sump and cam cover onto the new engine. Held up well, plenty of abuse. 15 psi of boost and track days etc. Look forward to it's next iteration.

    Was allowed outside to mess about with my car again today. A rare treat. Connected all the last bits upto the engine now and about ready to turn the key and see what happens. Just wants some fluids in it And then back to dynodaze to get a new flange on the downpipe as have changed the turbo. I've had the Front arb and gear linkage powder coated to match the rear arb and there was a fair bit of slop in the shifter which I'm hoping I've sorted now by making a new bush in the universal joint. And also fitted poly bushes to the shifter stabiliser. Feels great so far. It's had new clutch master and slave cylinders and a hel braided line.just bits and bobs I felt it wanted. Can't wait to get back out in it

    AHH ok so it's the rubber part you feel is too thin. So you can reinforce with liquid poly. And often tiger bondbgwts used too but I don't think it lasts all that well starts to come away after a while.

    I think that's an unusual faul tbh. There normal robust enough. But if you want to change regardless. Hard race do them all beit similar design with a harder rubber. Or there's hasport mounts which are nice CNC machined. I use these and Inteoduce a little vibration into the car. Then there the eBay specials which are often similar to hasports. But I had a set few years back. Took them off after one day as too hard.

    Wow looks spot on don't it. How was show?
  14. KiNK43
    Something to look out for is the scissor type arms of the window mechanism twist slightly. If that's the case straighten them should resolve the problem. At the same time grease the rubber channel with silicone grease, as I think the twisting occurs when the glass is struggling to slide up the channel.

    P28 and p30 are effectively the same once socketed.
  16. KiNK43
    Yes that's correct. Had a good once over, timing belt, valve clearances etc.

    Recently I have been accused of enjoying taking things apart.

    Still too soft

    KiNK43 replied to MC2wo's topic in Chassis

    I believe the dampers between 120 and 180 are the same, it's the front spring rate thats different and 120 being 4 cylinder engine, makes them better match for the 4 cylinder civic. I'm pretty sure someone on here tried civic lowering springs on mg shocks before tho and it didn't work out to well.

    Strangely I've had a captur hire car aswell while our ford was repaired. Altho It was a 1.5 petrol, it was really punchy too. But I totally agree. Wasn't very stable at speed or mid corner of giving it any.

    Wheel size

    KiNK43 replied to Patrix's question in SOS! Help!!

    I don't know the answer as such of the top of my head. However I have been running 15x7 et35. 195 50 15 tyres. And no rubbing or catching at all and the car get driven really hard at times
  21. KiNK43
    That's where a snail comes in handy.
  22. KiNK43
    Good on you. Need to show these people old Honda's Never die they just get faster! (And rustier)
  23. KiNK43
    Hi and welcome. Cars both look great. Love the airbox on the civic. Never seen that done before. Like it
  24. KiNK43
    That's perfect!. Was a complete step backwards on th m. Even eg had pop up cup holders.

    Many Sony double dins have the single din rear section. You'd expect quality to be good on those. I've been looking for my Hilux and seen them.
