thx @Dave

This is my engine bay for now. Still needs a good clean, and the front engine mounts are being sandblasted and resprayed

 

[Oil filter]

I would fit a hamp filter on it, they are very good:

Today was the first meeting I did this year, still with the old wheels. Still waiting for the new ones
 

[Ringo's red mc2]

Today, a friend came over to adjust my valve clearance. I must say the engine is looking very good inside.

[J18bey's MB6 Vti]

nice.Keep up the good work!

 

[Front Bumpers that fit on MB3]

yes, is the same, only the vti has headlight washers in the bumper, but that is no problem

[Front Bumpers that fit on MB3]

All the facelift bumpers are the same. The ones with the grill in the bumper aren't the same (ma version)

[Ringo's red mc2]

Bought some new wheels. My rota's were 17x7,5, now these are 16x8 et 25. i hope they fit and don't scrape to much

[Ringo's red mc2]

Did some work today. Installed us lights, new washer tubing in black, newer headlights, en installed an ezlip on the vti-s lip.

I used the front fog light wires for the us lights so now I can switch them with the fog light button.

OnlyI had trouble to remove the headlights, they couldn't pass because of the front bar, so I removed it.

 

[Ringo's red mc2]

I got the pinout, didn't find it at the rover manuals, so I took it apart and now I know how it's connected. It's just clicks back in so nothing is damaged. I have an airco button too, and I will use it to switch on my us lights and maybe some neon interior lights.

[Mae's diamond *mb1*]

very nice. Gonna looks good in the engine bay

[Ringo's red mc2]

Got my summerwheels to redo the polished lip, will be fitting them end of the month back on.

 

Also got two seat heater buttons from a rover/mg? Does anyone knows the pinout for these buttons, it's not the same as for honda ones.

[Ringo's red mc2]

thanks @Dave. I saw one on facebook but I don't really need one, just wondering if they are the same. 
And will be updating my engine bay very soon

[Ringo's red mc2]

Does anyone knows if the rear honda logo is the same on a mb6 and the mc2?

[J18bey's MB6 Vti]

Nice one. Hope to see more updates

[Ringo's red mc2]

Bought a secondhanded omp steeringwheel

[Ringo's red mc2]

Got new lugnuts, will be installing them end of march when i put the rota's back on.

[Dr_Broon's VTI 'deck]

I have a ek9 strutbar fitted in mine, and I'm also happy with the diffirence it makes. It's a keeper

[Ringo's red mc2]

Did a little work today on the engine bay. Had two original hoses and I used braided sleeves and a special clamp to brighten it up. I am planning to do the electrical wires in braided sleevers too.
 

 

so from this:

 

to this:

[Ringo's red mc2]

got my new skunk2 radiator installed, with skunk2 hoses, slimfan, a mishimoto coolant reservoir and new oem honda coolant . Also got my two front engine dampers being replaced because one had cracked. Also got new motor oil in it, motul 6100 10w40.

 

Also got a new valve cover but I will wait to install it because I gonna get my valves being readjusted, and the put the new cover on.

[Ringo's red mc2]

[Ringo's red mc2]

new parts, mostly for the engine bay

 

[Mb6 vti correct running temp.]

@J18bey mine gauge is the same as yours. Never showed any higher. Never had problems with it

[B18c4 part indentification]

It's has something to do with your fuel vapors, if it's broken, I don't think it will affect performance.
