Bit of a slow progress update, ive brought my self yet another civic, so that brings my Mb/mc total up to 3 haha, the blue one is coming off the road next week and getting broken, the Pirate black one is getting made into a track car and the silver one is still the main build.
The block will be going off next week to get sleeves fitted, and hopefully should only take 4-6 weeks.
-
Don't feel obliged.. but still got it.
Ill put on ebay otherwise.
if you wouldnt mind put it on ebay as i wont be up your way for at least 4-5 weeks , thank you

Just a quick update -
Silver deck: should be going into the garage this week depending on work and then at weekend get the engine out and split ready for boring and head work
blue Mb6 : was planning on breaking this but until the deck is build im going to use this for fun, have booked a couple track days, i purchased a traction bar for the deck and im gonna trial fit it tomorrow onto the blue one and see what its like.
-
goooooodies! Loving this project! That MB6 does look familiar, almost sure it's an ex-civic5 car
which one buddy , the deck or the blue one ?
-
Apologies for going quiet the last few weeks, just been waiting for parts to arrive and working as much as i can.
Finally some lovely shiny bits have come, they include :
Sheepey Manifold
Skunk pro 1 cams
Ati pulley
head gasket
genuine water pump and gates cambelt
genuine oil pump
head bolts
stage 5 clutch
titanium Valve, springs, retainers,
1000cc injectors
map sensor
Traction bar
yellow stuff pads all round
Next move is to pull the car into the garage and get the engine and box out ready for building it beginning of march.

The pictures make it look for better than it actually is, close up the car has really poor body work.
I will be pulling it apart in the next week or two, I bought it off a young lad who had put loads of modifications on it then couldn't afford to insure it as they wanted £350 per month.
-
progress is slow at present but hopefully febuary will be the big push i need to get it all done.
I went out last week and brought another Mb6, plan is to remove the Engine and box and use them to rebuild if they are in good nick, then can work on the deck while they are away getting machined and built

Hondata S300 would be my management of choice.
I've heard a few people discuss the same, what's the price tag on S300 these days? Thanks
-
nice, do like the look of those sheepy manifolds
where you going for a chip and tune?
hear nothing but things about Ricky @ Racetech
CPL looks quality, any dealings with them in the past?
I will be using street racers in Leicester, they have been building Honda turbos for many years.
They have recommended me to cpl, a friend of mine also had a big power integra turbo made there years ago.
-
Savage!
will you be using any form of block guard, have thought about block crete myself after alot of reading.
There's not alot that hondata wont do that AEM does, food for thought.
presuming you want full tubular manifold.
Ive arranged to get Cpl to Css the block which they have said is perfectly fine for up to and including 500 WHP,
im going to build a second block next year and get that one sleeved with bigger pistons.
Ive ordered a sheepey Manifold which should be here on thursday,
and i have had second thoughts on the Aem, so for now im going to use a socketed P28 ecu and just run a chip till its up and running then debate Management
-
I've spent most of day cleaning my garage out ready to put the car in. Then it's full steam ahead.
First job is to remove the engine and send the block to be bored and honed

I have done some searching and really struggled to find reasonable priced :
wide 15's and also better brake up grades

good afternoon all,
I currently have a Mc2 1.8 vti , which is 4 x 114.3, after doing some wheel research its hard work to find any thing nice/ drag width wheels.
ive been looking into the possibly of using 4x100 hubs off a Ek or similar, then the discs off a mg zs to keep it to 282mm
would the Ek 4x100 hubs fit straight on ? including shafts etc
Thank you

Ive managed to get one new caliper cheap from my parts guy so gonna replace the bad one for now till the car is up and running and in the mean time do some big brake research,
Anyone know what the next upgrade for brakes is for this ?
-
Been on the hunt for parts the last couple of days as well as doing all the family stuff
, managed to pick up a P28 socketed Ecu cheap from a local lad and im going to use that till its all up and running then when get the car on the road will save up for an Aem stand alone management system. -
Thanks for the advice, Ive checked the sun roof gullies and they clear the water out very quickly.
As for the rest i havent had a look yet, the windscreen looks original, will check the rest out tomorrow,
The rear passanger side footwell is also wet but unsure if thats just leaked from front to back

After being away for nearly a year thought I would just pop back on and update it, due to moving into a new family home money has been Tight and also a new arrival expected in the new year I'm going to be selling up. Have the black vti-s which is turbo'd at 270bhp and the silver deck which is still standard, and all bits I brought new and unused. Seems a shame to give up but all have sat there for over 8 months now so just seems right to let someone else enjoy them.
