Inlet Air Butterfly, the valve that opens at around 5800rpm allowing full bats**t crazy mode.
You should be able to hear the engine change note noticeably then as well as @4500rpm when the vtec higher cam engages.
Ahhh ok, is this less noticable when inlet and headers have been changed? Cant seem to remember it doing this on my track civic ..

That's the problem, it's a waiting game for those! But I do like them!
If you can find a vtis deck that would be very nice, apparently only around 40 left though.
40 ???? No way ...
May not be able to find one then .. And if i did i bet it would be over priced?
Trouble is i cant really do without a car for long ..
-
Thanks for the tips guys
will take ten into consideration. May see if I can get up there on the weekend... IABs Nick??
Tempted to hold out for a VTIs deck though ....
-
sure that doesnt look like a h22 to me
-
Has this one been overlooked???
-
not sure wether this one has been put up .. Spoke to him on the phone, seems pretty adament that its in great nick .. Completely standard too ..
So this one .. Matey has just text me again ..
Said that he's off on holiday on monday ..
"make me a sensible cash offer and you can drive away"
So what im after is advise as to how not to get skinned alive?!
-
Yeah should do, what's happening is when the temperature drops below a certain point the sensor tells the ECU it's in its cold start conditions so it dumps more fuel in and raises the idle to try and warm up. When I've been driving with it cold it's been hammering fuel because of it, but if I'm stationary for a few minutes the temperature gauge rises to normal and the idle sits where it should!
Yeah, otherwise we might get a repeat performance of when I changed the side skirts on Becca, one side fell off as I was trying to pull the front mudflap off (I'd undone all the sideskirt fittings) and the other wouldn't budge so a swift boot at the back soon saw to that
Ah i see .. Good to know !
-
Silver one looks like a goodun, I'd definitely have a bid on that. 69k and a FSH. Win.
Definitely looks a good'un ..
Grrrr I'll be killled by the "better half" if i rinse our savings just before xmas to get one without selling mine !
-
What an incredible build ..
This is amazing ..
-
One of the 13 was me !
-
Not a problem, I confuse myself, so I don't think anybody else has much of a chance to understand me.
Ha brilliant ..
Just trying to get used to people names etc .. been a while since ive been on here! lol
-
Intrigued to know .. I bought one of these for my track civic years ago and never actually got round to have it set up ..
-
Loving the look of this mate .. Top work

I keep getting tempted by the 1.6s but I know if I get it I will be boarded of the power in a bout a week!
Wouldnt get the 1.6 ..
Defo worth holding out for a vti or s ..
I have a 2.0 145bhp lancer now, couldnt go down lol ..
-
Such a shame half these cars never made it legitamitly to our shores ..
-
OOOhhhhh i seeeeee sorry ..
-
I paid £3500.00 for it 12 months ago .. He refused to budge and wouldnt part with any cash my way
Its obv not worth that now .. But would like to get £2500.00 if i could...
That leaves a nice fat wallet afterwards to sort things on what ever MB i get ..
Or to start the modding process

There evo seats man, they are very comfy. Ideally if you can find the rails for them but if not I just welded them to the original rails, seems to work fine. But I'm sure you can make something up that works good.
I cancelled the insurance on the lude. I'm not messing around with it. Just going to scrap it or sell it for parts. My lil bro will be selling his mb6 in February so I'm gonna buy that off him. And he's got a s80 LSD box on that. Gonna stick with the mb6s, one for me and one for my mrs
This is M hoarding surely!
Share and share alike i say !
Fair play having one each mate
Will you break the engine?
-
Yeah i'm tempted and he offered me a straight swap for mine .. But mines worth more .. Trying to withhold the temptaion ... Resist ......
-
Not yet, I need to get my front wheels balanced again so I will fetch one Saturday morning as the motor factors is next door! Hopefully can swap that whilst I'm doing the other jobs!
You reckon this will solve the idle issue too?
-
Cheers mate, it's not the end of the world, but 4uck me its cold when the engine can't get up to temperature
Have you not got the thermostat done yet?
-
Look good mate .. Always going to have niggles on a car this age! Although it obviously hasnt been looked after to the best standards which is a shame!
Good luck sorting the leaks though

Good right up mate .. Defo worth a look at getting one of these and having it set up properly ..
Just for a comparison, my C4 has a skunk2 inlet, 4-1 exhuast mani, then straight through 2.5" and was dyno'd @ 189 ..
Possibly an AFC Neo set up correctly could push it closer to the 200 mark ...
Also, in the type r's vtec is normally lowered in what i have seen .. Is it just the M's that normally go higher?
