The old girl not going anywhere

The caps are around £10-20+ depending where get it and the rotor is £2! i tried my old cap and nothing, the fact i put the rotor arm in by hand and i get a spark means the cap is fine. i tried putting a washer inside the rotor arm hole to push it out, that didnt work. Next i had a look at the plate on the rotor arm and there is movement but i pushed it all the way out and nothing sooo i could be the rotor arm! Im ordering a new one now and searching for dizzy unit now, only decent ones i can find are from the U.S which will take time.

Well ive worked out its not the coil, the spark is getting to the centre button in the cap but isnt sending the spark to the ht leads. So I tried putting in the rotor arm in the cap and turning her over and that gets the spark to the ht lead but when the rotor is on the unit it doesnt work! So its either the rotor arm or the distributor unit hmmm very strange...

Was in traffic earlier today and the old girl just died, tried to start her again but all she was doing was turning over and over with no blip no kick no jump. I checked all the connections and that but still nothing. Spoke to a mate who i thought i might be able to tow me and said it could be snapped cambelt and my gut started churning. After more mess i finally went back to work to get some tools aaaaaaaaaannnndd the cambelt is fine No spark from the plug cable or from the ingition cable so im thinking the ingition coil has gone ? Going to multimeter the coil tomorrow and maybe bodge hard wire the coil to get it home.

Oh snap i want to do a H22 conversion on my accord, how much power do they have for a type S ?

it has accord badge on the back tho ?

Started watching the Man down series 1 with greg davis, hes not only driving a silver B reg honda accord! amazing! i want one now after seeing this! lol

Id quite to have a go in a dc2 integra, anyone driven/owned one before ?

im kinda temped by an M build, also had a thought of buying the cheapest roughest lexus IS300 again and building that up dunno theres too many cars to do stuff too! lol

Ive had a few B18's and i love em, was thinking yesterday about the accord, i do want to do a engine conversion but is it worth it ? i researched possibly building a prelude track car but apprantly they are badly balanced and quite heavy! But m accord is quite heavy too so maybe it has to be a civc, i like civic's but so many ppl have build 3 door civic's it puts me off a bit, want to build something different but doesnt break my bank in rare/expensive parts hmm...

ah thats a shame, guess ill have to drop a B18 into a civc then lol thats saved me from looking at jordans.

dam i thought it had one, is there any 3 door civic that came with a B18 ?

Been think of getting a jordan civic, dont they have a B18 ?

i see what u mean, mines my daily so i can only go so far before it becomes stupid but it will be gd and i will be getting a project on the side to fulfill my needs of car fiddling!

Oh right lol the s**tructions on my can just says sprays it into the carb thats it! its the same tho, had some bad thoughts about not bothering to not slam it and get rid buuuuuuut the other day i looked at it sitting there, i have totally forgot how high it is lol it needs to be slam, its honda law

No i decided just to spray it in and leave it for a bit, then when it turned over and didnt start i left it a bit more and eventully it started! You think i should do it running ? I did struggle to start so it might not work and kill the engine or even make carb flames lol

mine are ok in the dry but they are down to about 2mm so when the snow comes im b****red lol doesnt help that 1 is over 13 years old and the other 10 years old!! On monday i flushed the carb out with the cleaner, left it 10 mins then tried to start it, it really struggled but eventully did with a huge cloud of blue smoke ! Its a tiny bit better now.

nice ek4, just needs some dish under the arches lol

Buying some winter deep tread tyres soon, as its high might go off roading!

The aerodeck is looking seriously stanced well done, gd to see someone going the extra mile to slam it and get sweet usual rims on, my boss's son has them in 19'' on his S4 and they are wicked. Looked awesome on the show pics, hows the scubbing ? lol

yes krzys i think i did read that but thats not that cheap either on a yearly basis, the joining fee and year membership is £130 and the course u have to go on is £545 so thats £700 already but i spose for motorsport it is cheap lol i just want to bulid a stripped out civic i can rag the hell out of and go really fast in

Got the flange done so soon as the weather permits unless i can convince my boss to let me use the factory on a sunday it will have to wait. Been looking at doing a civic for the civic cup but after really researching it there is alot of cost involved even before ive done a race but i deffo want to do a full stripped out civic for the track hopefully ill start that next year after i sort my garage eeeerrr i mean house out!

Update: managed to do the drivers cv boot, what a hassel, took me ages to slide it on but got it finished it as it started raining lol 3 weekends in a row its rained sunday! Was going to fit the exhaust last weekend but according to my mate the FRZ 1000 would be too restrictive so ive sold that and bought this VFR 400 race can Needs a inlet flange made which i can knock up easy which actually suits my needs better should sound gd me hopes!

I think he sold it now lol nice to know theres another one out there still going. Tho the 3 door is awesome!

And this is amazing but shame its auto! http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1985-HONDA-ACCORD-AUTO-GOLD-/350906917288?pt=Automobiles_UK&hash=item51b3aea1a8
