  1. when you change the gaitor, the plastic bit around the gear stick can be removed it is held in by 2 metal clips, you pull on it from closest to the centre console, i used some knives on the sides to pry it out its pretty easy and just take your time Cheers dude! Was hoping it wasn't going to be a ballache! I do like what you've done so far though! I was going to use the same idea as you for gaitor and knob, just confirms how it'll look, want a short shifter too though nah its not hard at all the only bad thing is the original leather gaitor is stapled in very tightly! thanks, yeh ive been hearing good tings about short shifters, what do they actually do? They shorten the throw of the gear stick, the idea being you don't have as much travel between gears and should be able to quicken your gear changes I want to change my shift stabiliser bushes at the same time too, don't want much do I? They will make the changes smoother and feel really good, I've changed those bushes on the last few cars I've had
  2. Will look sweet on those wheels once the coilovers are on!!

  4. Been there and done that having owned a turbo and came back to a VTEC, I'll say no more!
  5. Think this should have gone in the "How to" section but top notch info none the less!
  6. When you changed the gearstick gaitor can you just unclip the surround somewhere or does the whole centre console have to be moved?

    Best tyre

    I've got Avon ZV5 all round on the standard wheels, really good grip! Very confident tyre in the dry and pretty good in the wet too!
  8. I may have found a solution! Found on the bay the airbag reel that lines up with the wheel I've got! Will know in a few days when it turns up and I'll update once I've had chance to fettle with it!

  10. Right guys, I got myself an ATR momo steering wheel with the airbag, decent price too! Problem is when I went to fit, the backplate with the holes for the SRS and steering shaft splines didn't line up! Here is a picture of the backplate and the SRS reel in it's central position to show the problem! Now I really would prefer not to run without an airbag because it would just be hassle come MOT time! Not to mention the potential safety implications in the event of an accident! Ideas?
  11. X2 good result put some vpower in next time! Cheers guys, I've put half a tank of Tesco99 in to see how she reacts, is it any different to Vpower? Both are easy enough to fill up with though!
  12. Took a visit to DynoDaze Wednesday evening and couldn't help but stick her on the rollers! Couple of photo's and three videos, calibration run, power run looking at the car and second power run looking at the monitor! Two of the pictures were pinched from the DynoDaze facebook page! Enjoy! Becca got more attention than I was expecting when I pulled up! Really happy to see people interested! She made 166bhp which I'm not disappointed about, I am using regular 95RON fuel and there's only the filter and Cat-back exhaust on her, was recommended to run her on Vpower for a power gain but I have some engine mods planned for the future too!

    Interior squeak!

    Told you!!! What did you do to cure it? Or haven't you?
  14. Yeah I would try and match all four if I were you mate! With the fronts being different to the rear the cars handling could be unpredicable!
  15. 1993 Nearly 20 years old now Really? Christ I still think the 90's was like 5 minutes ago! On topic: Yes there is a transponder in the key, not sure how much to get a new one programmed, worth asking a locksmiths! Before you go buying any new blank keys!

    Interior squeak!

    I'm hoping to do my JDM tail light mod at the weekend so be a good opportunity to kill two birds with one stone I reckon! If I have to put up with Jeff (A female friend of mine named the squeak!) much longer I will end up like It's because you only have 25k on the clock, if it was 125k there would be no squeek I was on my way to DynoDaze last night and hired my rear seat passenger to investigate, if he puts his hand on the right speaker cover next to the parcel shelf it's silent! So I reckon it's the speaker cover! Now where's that ?
  17. Glad I could help! On my old car one filament had gone and crossed over to the other, so I had both tail lights on as normal, pressed the break and one side went out while the other worked as normal!

  19. As above, nice and clean! I'm surprised how well those wheels look! Looks bare without any lip on the front though!

    Sounds like as good a place as any to start, easy to remove too (He says!) The stiffer ZS180 suspension amplifies it
  21. Its going on the dyno in the next 2 weeks so we will know soon mate! Let me know when you're booked in, I'd like to come see this!
  22. Castle Marina Sainsburys for those pictures, at the time the car was done, she on a side street off Edwards lane, refuse to leave her in the same place again!
