skitzma8 Posted January 3, 2014 Author Share Posted January 3, 2014 The D16 is now in my MA8 !!! After p**sing about in rain I've managed to get the engine in after losing my temper at a ratchet that decided to break... Gave the pass side wing a booting in the process!! So I will have to buy a new wing now.. But on the bright side the engine was easy to drop in, and everything else is now fitted (more than what's on the pic) I just have the dash loom to swap now so she should be up and running tomorrow need to get an 1.6 SR badge too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NIKH25 Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 Nice one, apart from the wing, it's always best to keep things around that you don't mind breaking to kick out at or hit. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ammarbm Posted January 4, 2014 Share Posted January 4, 2014 Nice mate. Glad to see you got the engine swapped. I will have to take another ride to feel the difference from before lol 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skitzma8 Posted January 4, 2014 Author Share Posted January 4, 2014 Well KiNK43 I was going to use the d14 loom but couldn't be bothered to change the plugs for the ecu over, so its quicker to pull the dash and swap them. I've got some mental health issues that don't help with my anger that's why the wing got folded.. Also Ammar you can come for a spin when she's sorted, should be s**t off a shovel compared to the hopless D14, and even quicker when she has a turbo fitted 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skitzma8 Posted January 6, 2014 Author Share Posted January 6, 2014 Good news!! She's up and running now! I've only been on a short trip in her at the minute as I'm sorting out the small issue I have with the bottom rad hose staying cold.. Probs just airlock? And also the power steering is making a funny noise aswell. but its only a few niggly bits that need sorting now! And then I can go for a calm spin HAHA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NIKH25 Posted January 6, 2014 Share Posted January 6, 2014 Excellent news. Try this for the airlock. http://civic5.com/forum/index.php?/topic/6013-how-to-fill-and-bleed-a-rad-the-awesome-way/ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
