    Hi Rui, Once the rubber cover is removed the textured part twists off anticlockwise. Ive attached a photo to show. Can be really stiff if they havent been removed in a while. Cheers, Dan

    D14A8 to D16XX swap

    dan1 replied to cd7lawsyy's topic in Engine

    I'm planning on doing this myself (from D14Z4 to D16W4). As far as i can tell and from what i've researched, as both cars are OBD2a, the D16 ECU should just plug straight in. If the OBD differs then it gets complicated with immobilisers etc. The engine harness I have from the D16 should plug in at the strut towers like you say, but as the D14 doesnt have VTEC and the D16 does, I'll need to run 2 wires from the strut tower plugs to the ECU for the VTEC solenoid and knock sensor. If you're going to reuse your D14 engine harness then i believe you'll need to do as here: https://www.clubcivic.com/forum/threads/how-to-wire-vtec.166626/ When I get round to sorting mine out (don't hold your breath anytime soon however, this projects very slow moving!!) i'll post a step-by-step up.

    Sounds awesome mate, looking forward to seeing what its like once youve finished with it. My girlfriends got a t5 and its so handy having it with all the space inside when youre out and about!

    Looks great mate, especially with the new head unit. Whats it like in the back? All seating or could you use it as a mini camper?
  6. dan1
    Rubbish news Dave! Hopefully you may be able to find it and it won't have gone far. Sounds like you need a bunker instead of a carport!

    All good thanks Mate, ive only got it mild so the worst bit is the boredom of being stuck at home haha!

    Nice one, fingers crossed it was that. mine was lifting near the little locating pin the gutter rubber trim attaches to. Mine was obvious as the paint had cracked. Id go and take a photo for you but currently isolating due to covid!!

    Dave I had a similar problem and it was the seam sealer under the gutter trim that had cracked and was letting water in. I picked it out with a screwdriver where i could see gaps and filled it in with some PU sealant and its been good ever since.

    Happy Christmas guys!

    Nice! Those big fogs still in oem wrapping - cant be many of those about in that condition! Interesting about the 25yr rule in the US, wonder if many other of this shape civics find their way over there.
  12. dan1
    Looks mint!
  13. dan1
    Looking good! Loving the lip on the back. The stainless headers look awesome too - did you manage to get them fit with the oem cat?
  14. dan1
    Looks like its coming along nicely! RE the cheapo coilovers, I'd defo wouldn't risk it with the deck. The extra weight at the back may make them struggle/sit really low!

    Hi all, Not sure if anyones seen this - Saw it on a Speedhunters story and thought it looked awesome. Apparently this was built back in May so people may have seen it already! Some more photos: https://www.topgear.com/car-news/modified/honda-bringing-wicked-type-r-engined-accord-estate-sema http://www.speedhunters.com/2021/11/a-first-walk-through-sema-2021/#_presentation-536683 Cheers, Dan

    Hi all, Hope you're all doing alright! Long time without an update, Life somewhat gets in the way sometimes haha. In the meantime i've bought a house with a garage which has been ideal for this! So finally got round to fitting the above, general parts list: Disk Rear trailing arms Rear Trailing arm poly bushings Honda Civic MB6 brake master cylinder Honda Civic MB6 brake servo New 40/40 brake prop valve (46210-S5A-912) Wezmoto Braided front and rear brake lines MG ZS 180 Front & Rear brake calipers MG ZS 180 Front & Rear brake discs Tegiwa brake stopper 15mm front wheel spacers (tyre kept rubbing the wheel arch on full lock, not good for the MOT man!!) I was proper impressed with the Wezmoto braided lines from ebay, asked them for Fronts 70cm, Rears 56cm and they were pretty much bang on, even came with 2 brackets on each line! Only issue i had was the welded nut for the bolt that goes between the RTA & LCA thread stripped, so i had to snap it off and am now using a nyloc in place. Very happy with how it all is now, next up will be a short shifter and then get round to fitting the rear ARB. Cheers, Dan

    Cheers mate thanks for checking. Like you say, I can only assume then that the rear caliper is the same for all disk models, with only the carriers being different for either 240/260mm disks. I guess similar to how disk brakes are on push bikes.

    Hi guys, Just wondering if anyone knows the part number for the rear brake calipers from either a MB6 or MC2? Lings gives either: 43012-ST3-e50 43013-ST3-E50 but this seems to be the same as other MB's? Is this correct? It could just be im being dim with the lings website.. Thanks in advance, Dan.

    Fingers crossed it all works out mate, i know the pain of seized and snapped bolts - The joys of working on 20yr old cars!
  21. dan1
    Thats a b****r. Any reason why your old spindles cant be swapped onto the new trailing arms?
  22. dan1
    The spindle for the 4x114 is about 10mm longer iirc.
  23. dan1
    Looks awesome mate, will look OEM for anyone who isnt familiar with our cars!
  24. dan1
    Looks great mate, like how the gauges almost blend in and dont stick out like a sore thumb
  25. dan1
    Looks so good! Definitely worth perfecting it now while its out the car. Will be good to see it once its all sorted and back in the car.
