booo! tried to fit my manifold heat shield tonight after finally painting it at the weekend, but there wasn't room to squeeze it in past the air co rad scratched the paint on it as well... sheesh. looks like either mani off or aircon rad out... probs the rad because I can't see how I could reattach the manifold with the heat shield on... bah!

POWW!!! super shiny... nice one bud. how's it sound / feel? 1"£££$££"!!
-

-
well... pleased to report that the tweaks at the weekend with the air filter and throttle body has got tubs running as sweet as a nut. happy days
-
yeah, that's what I'd read before as well, which makes sense, but avoiding everything gunking up as a reaction to having to have the breather tube recycling nasty stuff seems sensible as well.

good stinking 1"£££$££"!! finished off the air box today... cut the pipe in the top half of the aitbox... a steeper angle this time, because it didn't come out as far as the bottom one. now got quite a nice noise when in vtec, and seems to come alive more when the iabs open... still quite quiet though when just mooching about. pretty happy with it. also squacked a load of throttle body cleaner in... i had a brainwave as well when i was doing it. the car was parked so that the driver side was downhill slightly, so all the stuff ran out... ahaaa! says me and jacks up the passenger side to make sure that all of the crap came out instead of heading inwards. slightly suprised by the amount of dirty crap that came out... making me think about an oil catch can. also came across an intersting comment on the webs when looking up cleaning the tb... it was for a nissan but probs the same idea for hondas. it was about the coolant bypass, and it was saying the reason for keeping the tb warm is to stop all of the gunk turning into a thick tar and going hard. seemed to make sense.

So any pics of the vents chief?

-

just done a wee bit of airbox modding: viewtopic.php?f=86&t=5193&p=82082#p82082 should help airflow a wee bit.

aye... that's why I've wussed out and letting them do it... he's asked me to drop the spoiler off a week early to fill some chips and get it painted read to go on. did you use a template to drill the holes bud?

someone was selling dc2 oil coolers on ebay a month or so ago for about 45 quid... I spent a few days poring over the workshop manual for the m and comparing it to the teg manual. I was reading somewhere on the web about someone who'd added one to his gsr, and I think he had to drill a new port into the block? ended up falling into the too complicated box for me.. but i did wonder if you could just tap into the cooling system somewhere else... also, the m's got a smaller radiator than the teg, so wasn't sure if it could cope. sorry for ramblin loving all of the awsomising that you're doing to the deck 1"£££$££"!!
-
well, either the new o ring for the dizzy or vtec solenoid gasket was the culprit for the phantom oil leak and not the head gasket... 2 weeks now leak free.. HURRAH!
-
yup.. pretty chuffed tbh spotted it on a deck someone was breaking on ebay but wasn't advertised seperatly...
-
ace work there fella... I'm quite liking the bumper.. totally different -
and now it's in my grubby little hands 1"£££$££"!!
