General catch-up as I’ve not been on here for ages!

[GreenVTi991]

Hi guys,

 

As I’ve not been on here for a while I thought I’d let you know I’m still enjoying being the proud owner of my Civic VTi! It recently had a cambelt and water pump change (@ 112,600miles) at my local Honda dealer plus an oil and filter change a few weeks ago. I’ve got it booked in to a local exhaust specialist to get the blowing exhaust manifold (DC Sports 4-1) welded up again – plus maybe add a sports cat and twin exit backbox if the price is right! J

 

A few things on my ‘to-do’ list are:

• Wobbling under braking – gotta be warped discs, right?
• Sticky rear callipers. Thinking of getting a set of four refurbed at Bigg Redd – anyone used them?
• Suspension rattle over bumps on all four corners (louder since cold weather) â€“ arb links and/or strut top rubber bushes?
• Full poly bush kit – this’ll be a big job and take the car off the road for at least a week so will wait till the spring when I get my MR2 back on the road.
• Re-seal black canister on back of engine – tried to do this at last service and it’s still leaking albeit not as badly. Any ideas how to stop it leaking or why it is leaking?
• Saggy roof lining – time to rob a Rover at my local scrappy!
• Get Integra wheels refurbished and fit back onto the car
• Replace front foglights. Anyone have any suggestions on aftermarket ones and how to fit them?
• Vtec still audible but doesn’t kick like it used to… any ideas?

Damm that's a to do list. Just a service and a ecu reset to start with for the vtec.

That's quite a list chap.

 

Probably the blowing exhaust won't be helping the vtec as you've just done a service an ecu reset might be worthwhile though.

 

Rover headlining won't fit apparently the sunroof aperture is a different size.
