It links pin A4 and D6 so ECU isn't looking for VTEC oil pressure sensor. A lot of engines don't have one.

That's gorgeous. And will likely be mint underneath. Price tag reflects it tho ay

That is a shame. See loads of them with rusty arches round here. Maybe try and replace it with another while there cheap. I expect tidy ones will soon creep up.

Springs are similar dimensions but Different models have different coloured splodges painted on them to indicate the spec.

Thats a common occurrence When fitting coilovers etc. Make up the space with washers or use the lower control arm from an EG civic.

Blimey that could have been nasty as ya say. With load on it cornering etc. Nightmare. What's it made from?

Wow that's a great find. Nice one.
Is there matching fronts aswell?

Have not done this myself but fom reading the above posts. Seems like should be able to trim the plastic piece to make it fit.

That's pretty cool. Looks bit pricey for a ford fiesta tho

So fresh. It's nuts as well, coz it's not like Japan don't have winters. Was talking to someone at glencoe the other day who does the ski season in Japan, and he was saying its crazy how much snow they get.
Yet no salt on the roads.
Yeah shows how much damage the salt does. Madness.

If defo doing right. Maybe time to look for a fault? Leak or master cylinder?
-
Same sequence as picture yes.
Pedal down. Open bleed nipple. Close bleed nipple. Pedal up.
Repeat.

These imported cars are so clean aswell. It's crazy. It's a 2007 car, The underside looks like a year old car, I will take pictures soon to show future owner it's in good shape, as will underseal soon it before the bad weather comes.
-
Do you have someone to help or trying to do on your own with an easi bleed or whatever?
I only ask as in the past I've really struggled on my own..
Soon as ask a friend to do the pedal pushing as I open and close the bleed Nipples. Suddenly starts to go to plan.

Not much to update. Still loving the bus. Probably go as far as saying it's my favourite car ive owned. And we've had a few square JDM cars over the years.

Yeah, deffo driveability over having max power for a short time than bang lol. See, If I had my engine in bits like that on a bench, I'd be looking at all the bits with my fist in my mouth going (mumbled obviously!) "s**t, what have I done!! Hope I can mind where all these bits go!!" LOL Mighty impressive skills you've got their man, and makes this such a cracking thread to follow.
I'm not gonna lie, I dunno what I'm doing. Winging it. lol.
Last build was great. So hoping I have the same luck with this one. But I won't be feeling comfortable about anything until it's in and running. But.. all part of the fun for me just a big boys toy. Like the tinkering and the learning.

Or just go for it push it hard as we can but want reliability and driveability. So dunno see how it goes i guess.

Nice
Any idea where you think it'll get?
Anything around 500hp I'll be happy.
Will have to wait and see I guess.
Did 400 odd at 14psi before. And should breathe a bit better now, rev higher an should hold more boost of course.

Changing ecu
in Electrical
Posted
That's an obd2a/b ECU.
The mb6 is unusual, it has obd2a ECU with obd1 connectors.
