mb690 Posted April 5, 2016 Author Share Posted April 5, 2016 Cheers! Got most of them fitted on the weekend. Didn't have time for any pics I'm afraid, but its all pretty well documented stuff anyway. A lot of what has been done wasn't in the pics above either. So on the weekend it had the following done: 1. Lightweight chromoly flywheel with ARP bolts 2. Genuine Honda Clutch kit 3. Trans Fluid change 4. Full Service - all filters and fluids including brake fluid, as well as Iridium Plugs, new dizzy cap and arm. 5. Genuine Honda Cambelt kit and water pump + coolant change. 6. Valve lash check and adjustment (only two on the exhaust side were out by a very negligible amount) 7. New rocker cover gasket and plug seals. 8. Ride height was also raised by 15mm all round and then taken back for another geo setup to fast road spec again at the new height. 9. Cleaned up the Meister-R's, gave them a good greasing and fitted some Tegiwa shock socks. 10. Fitted PIA 4K ultra white bulbs (worthwhile little upgrade for sure!) Certainly feels fresh, especially after all the suspension work that was carried out just 6 months ago. Gutted that I had to raise it up but the suspension had settled a lot (good 10mm at least) since it was originally done and it was pretty much on the low limit for daily driving to begin with. Plus, Sheffield is friggin pothole and mega steep hill city so it ain't low's friendly. I'll take some shots at the new height, its been purposefully set a couple mm higher at the front so that it should in theory be where I want it once it settles again. worst comes to worst it will need a 5mm drop or so at the front. Hoping to get the rest of the bits from the pics fitted this week. Mostly excited for the exhaust system next Tuesday! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'll be glad to hear then that the Dizzy cap, arm, rocker gasket, plug seals and even the Trans fluid were also genuine Honda. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mb690 Posted June 14, 2016 Author Share Posted June 14, 2016 (edited) Ok, so as usual I haven't been on and updated things in ages A week of so after the last lot of work, I fitted my Tegiwa Whales C**k and went down to Cobra Sport Exhausts in Sheffield to have a full 2.5" stainless system built including a de-cat. Cobra Sport were absolutely awesome and the exhaust turned out exactly as I wanted / asked for right down to how it sounded. Can be nice and stealthy depending on throttle position and absolutely screams in VTEC, no annoying drone on the motorway either if you get it just right. Tegiwa Intake fitted Exhaust Also slapped a few stickers on and this little guy after a clean inside Short vid of a cold start and some gentle revs Edited June 14, 2016 by mb690 Wrong link 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
