  1. I've also got an aftermarket hub (D1 spec i think) with a Nardi Deep corn steeringwheel on my MC2. I was just wondering how you guys have run the horn grounding. I've used some steel wiring and had to bend it with a curve to contact the back of the hub(brass part) and the ground on the collum. How did you guys did this, I'm just curious.

     

    I'll show some pictures later so you guys have got an idea how I've run mine.

  2. Just a heads up. Relocated my oilcooler after install of the turbo. From the front of the radiator, to the right side where the ac should have sat. I've run the oil feed lines on the side of the powersteering pump. Still need to tidy it up with some nice brackets, which will be made in the near future.

    Hi there, welcome along welcometocivic5smile

     

    Would be cool to see some pics of your cat and get a build thread going 8-)

     

    Little bit here on roll bars here :

    Thanks fella's.

    If just the MG ZS ones are compatible, which size difference are the compared to the oem MB6 ones? I've already installed a MB6 one on the Deck, but I'd like to go a bit further. Also the front ones, are they also thicker from the MG?

    Hello everyone. I'm the owner of a Silver VTI Aerodeck for almost 7 years now, and use it as a daily/weekendracer/tracktool. 

     

    I've changed it almost every nut and bolt on the car, and still  I try to improve things as we go. The full suspension of the car has been adjusted/altered for a fully adjustable coiloverset, PU bushings, changed the front brakes from the oem single piston to a double piston caliper form the Accord V6, braided brakelines, Ferodo ds2500 pads, slothed discs from Stoptech, and loads more.

     

    I've just always wondered, what are the thickest swaybars we can fit on our cars? All I've noticed in the last couple of years is that the EG and ITR parts often fit, sometimes with minor adjustments, so I thought it would be the case with this aswell. 

    Can someone enlight me?

     

    With kind regards and heaps of respect for the build on this forum, love it!

    Reading this thread with interest. thanks Oilman for the great info. Ive been running Mobil Super 2000 (X1 I think it is now) 10w-40 semi synth since 80 k(was Mobil S way back then) when I 1st  took on the car and it's now at 220k, I  change it myself using  a genuine honda filter every 6k. I find it's using a bit of oil now, but nothing excessive, I meter it so i can confirm amounts if interested. would this be valve stem oil seals ? is this still a good oil do you reckon for me / us to use ? 

    I need to to change the g/box oil again, used the genuine Honda MTF last time, but is your recommendation right back at the start of this thread for the Redline MTF still what youd recommend for a decent g/box oil  ? could you post a link pls. Ive found it shifts nicely at this time of year but can be a little notchy in the summer, maybe needs a slightly thicker oil then ? 

    Aerodeck VTI btw, with stock B18C4 engine. 

    I'm not a mechanic whatsoever, but personaly, I don't cheap out on oil. Keep using good quality oil, even when it burns a bit of it. Check if it burns oil when you'll step on it, or when you let you foot off the gaspedal. If its with pttm(pedal to the metal) it's you're rings, if its when you'll let of the gas, it's most likely the stemseals.

     

    About the gearbox oil, I'd use the MTF 3, just because the most Honda guys which drive them a long period allways tend to us it, but I'm no expert at this ;)

  7. An update on my install. I'm still running the 2 sandwich plates. I've had a leak around the sensors I've had installed (oilpressure, oil temp before the cooler, oil temp after the cooler). 

    so I've used som eteflon tape to stop the leaking. Works like a charm now! 

  8. Eg/dc2/ek tie rods don't fit. I've found the oem partnumber(53010SR3010) and ordered the right one on Autodoc.com. Ours are with an M14 thread and the other ones are with an M12 thread. 

  9. Hi George,

     

    I'm in the same possition as you are right now. How did you've achieved it to mount it properly? What I've done for now is used a 2nd sandwichplate which i've already had, an placed that one on the other one, so there was any room to mount the oilinglines to the cooler. I've still have a leak, which for some reason cannot be found where it's from. 

  10. Guys,

     

    Thanks a lot for all the quick responses. Ive found the problem. The enginloom was just the same as my old one. It was just a kind of white guide thingy that was still stuck in the "new" loom which still needed to be removed!

     

    I'll try to still upload some pictures to help clarify the problem.

     

    Cheers

  11. Hi there,

     

    My name is Koen and im from the Netherlands. I've just replaced my broken down b18c4 (broken valve kissed the cylinder) which went in like a charm. As after fitted it in ik discovered that the engine loom plug is just a tiny bit different then my old engine loom. The plug thats got me a headache is 1of the plug near the co-drivers side(probably drivers side for most uk drivers becuase its a lhd car). One of the plugs had got a little white peg which isn't fitted on the other engine. I've looked at the colour and lining of the cables and they are all in the same plug, but they cant be connected because of the little white peg which really frustrates me. Are here more people who had this problem and if so how was this problem fixed? Personaly I was thinking of removing the peg of just completely swap the loom over, but that would probably be kind of a big job. 

    I could use some info from someone who fixed this problem or someone who knows how to fix it.

     

    Thank you sincerely
