  1. Hi, I've recently bought an itr steering wheel, but I don't understand how it fits because i got this backplate, with the srs hole in the down middle

    And it has to fit with this coniguration, where the srs part turned 45 degree

    So my questions are: is my steeringwheel really from an itr? and if it is correct, how can I fit the wheel with those 45 degrees?

     

    I need you help guys!!! cry.gif1

     

  2. Thanks guys, well maybe it's time to get serious and change the exhaust manifold :P I've in my mind the one from "supersprint" but i'm not sure if I can homologate it easily, and I'd like to know too the hp gain.

    What do you think?

    Also I'm thinking in the DC2 steering wheel, but it's difficult to find one in mint condition.

     

    By the time i've already bought the cup holder, the most useful thing.   :-D

  3. Hi again guys

    Today i'm bringing to you my lasts purchases. Yeah, I'm sure you thing that i should fit what I've got before continue buying, but this month I've been completly busy with the university (next monday I'll finish my degree) and I couldn't touch the car.

    However, here we go with the pics.

    In first place a brand new headlamp. Yes, nothing special but I'm proud of him :P

  4. Hi again everybody and sorry for the lack of posts this lasts weeks.

     

    I've been soo busy with the university, but I didn't forget the civic! In fact, I've been collecting some cool items for it. Basically I got 3 rare items, and I'm looking for the last, and more dificult to find, one.

     

    Attention before continue reading: haters gonna hate ;)

     

    ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

     

    The first I got, Rover 45 boot tray. It was a casuality that I found this in this forum, so I bought the last one for sale. (sorry, my mobile phone camera is a piece of s---t)

     

    c641c803-5667-4fb0-9621-36a15244a7ab_zps

     

    I'm sure i'm not the only one here that have this usefull accesory, but for the one's who want it, it fits perfect!

    Now I can organize some of the junk that I keep inside the boot.

     

    79516c6d-7a8f-4351-9efb-96d87bf1ad8b_zps

     

    Looks cool with the rear custom fitted strut bar.

    The second thing is a brand new genuine civic ma/mb1 mud flaps. Yes, some months ago I bought the mb6 ones, but they didn't fit well and I decided to find the originals for prefacelift models. It was soo hard to find but I managed to get a pair.

    And finally the jewel of the crown, one of the last's (if it isn't the last) civic MB1 original front lip, brand new direct from Honda. :D

    Again the same as the rear mudflaps. Bought the MB6 lip before but I didn't like how it fits, and before doing custom fitment I decided to get the original one, but it wasn't as easy as it seems, it took me months to find it, and the seller told me it was probably the last one in stock. XD

    Well, as soon as I pass the anual inspection I'll fit the mudflaps and the painted (in matt black) front lip. You'll see some pics soon

    Hope you enjoy it, and be patient until I find the last rare item.

  5. There is a good how to in the tech section on here for changing the fuel filter. If you unscrew the petrol cap that depressurizes the system so you don't lose much fuel. 

     

    Where did you get that knob from??

     

     

    Yes, I unscrewed the petrol cap, but still had many fuel inside the filter, suficient to wet 5 rags :S (hard to see with the actual fuel price bye.gif1)

     

    I get the knob from ebay UK

  6. Hi again, I've been busy the last days, but I did some DIY with my civic.

     

    First of all I replaced and restored the pollen filter. As you can see in the pics the filter hasn't been changed in the 18 years of the car.

     

    P1030173_zpscb44527f.jpg

     

    The hole was full of dirt and needed a clean up. Some of the dirt was from the insulation foam of the filter frame because it was rotten.

     

    P1030178_zpsa4eec080.jpg

     

    P1030176_zps62cb30bc.jpg

     

    The outside dust oversteped the insulation foam and went to the ventilation system, so I decided to replace the foam for something better.

    The solution was a windows insulator. So first of all I replaced all the foam, cleaned the frame with alcohol until it was as clean as can be, and then placed the new insulator.

    P1030184_zps10a3237a.jpg

     

    But then I had a problem! The new insulator was made of rubber, and it doesn't slide inside the hole. The solution was grease (vaselin)

     

    P1030188_zps826c6692.jpg

     

    And now I have new filter for at least 1 year :D

     

     

    Then was time to change the fuel filter. I have to say that the Haynes doesn't give a correct instructions to change it, I couldn't find the fuel pump fuse, so I didn't empty the old filter and had to be careful removing it.

    In order to work easily, I removed the battery, the air filter kit and the strut bar, so I get some space to put the spanners.

    The instalation of the new one was easier than the removal step.

     

    Not a hard work, but takes a long time if you have to clean the fuel.

    I didn't took any pics of the proces because it was my first time and I didn't know what would be the result :P

     

    Finally I'm going to show my last reward :P Brand new vti-s gear knob. Unused, undamanged and in his original box. With instructions for those ones who doesn't know how to unscrew a bolt XD

    Hope you enjoy it ;)

  7. Finally today arrived, the front & rear mud flaps :wub:  Now I have many things to do with the car and no time :( 

    P1030127_zpsda65fbb3.jpg

     

    Written in the task list the vti front lip. Ready to paint it in matt black.

     

    Also I want to repair the front "tow anchor" (I don't know the english word for this thing, see the picture). The last owner managed to damange this part with every kerbstone (yeah I recognize once I touch it too). So I'm thinking in remove the rust, polish and pain it with duplicolor "bed armor". It seems a radical solution but sure it doesn't tear and oxidize again :!:
