Sorivity Posted August 7, 2015 Author Share Posted August 7, 2015 Okay! (been a bit dead here with progress, have a few small things in the pipeline to entertain you all in the next coming months. Progress with the car is starting to slow down now as i am starting to realize that putting £500 into the car every months isnt exactly healthy for my bank balance. (among other things) Okay, i got my seats sorted with much hell from GSM Motorsport (basically put, its hard to get through to them and they're hella busy all the time, was recommended the XL seat due to my 32/33" waist, even though the XL seats are too big for a 14 (this they didn't know?)) either way, sorted. they had a good deal on the seats that i wanted but the demand was insane so had to wait quite a while. went down to their unit last Friday to drop off the XL seats and got my slim ones delivered (and fitted) on Tuesday this week. Really happy with them, quality seems really good for £300 new for a PAIR! passenger side seems to sit on the door card a little but will look at that when i can be bothered to do so. few photos (^) photo of outside my gramps house the other day (before seats) looks aggressive as hell love this pic!(v) posting a photo of the rails. they cost as much as the seats so deserve a photo. came direct from japan (including Japanese newspaper as packaging!) - excuse the mess! (^) when the car looked most race car. posted this on Instagram and the miss was not pleased! (instagram @ andys14a)(v) seats are in after waiting a good long time! really happy with results. are maybe a little tight but will get accustom to them (^) stance scene pose My birthday on 23rd, getting a Nardi 330/Leather deepcorn and a few cleaning products from that got a couple of small parts id like before end of the year including harness and harness bar (just driver side harness i think (don't think the miss would like)) would also like a set of gauges including boost/water temp/oil temp and maybe oil pressure to? triple A pillar and boost in center upon dash. this month got a few small bits to do a small service with so i think after this progress will start to slow down a little till the beginning of next year. looking forward to seeing you all at JF2! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorivity Posted August 29, 2015 Author Share Posted August 29, 2015 Okay its been a while since i updated this. first of all i want to say a huge thank you to Civic 5 as a whole for letting a few close friends and myself onto your stand. It is greatly appreciated every time and hope we are not causing too much trouble for you. Okay. it was my birthday on 23rd of Aug so the managed to blag my way to a Nardi Deepcorn 330mm leather steering wheel the quality is absolutely amazing it feels so solid. if any of you have watched the driftworks video 'fat guy cant bend a real nardi' they are 100% true and would recommend one of these to anyone if you can afford it.now i was quite torn on which boss kit to go for, i originally wanted an NRG shorthub and snap-off like i had in my civic, but that setup is very hard to set up and wasn't 100% sure it did the self canceling indicators (200sx's canceling isnt in the stalk its in the column) that, and the steering wheel was 170 as it is i didnt fancy spending 200 more on the hub. so i decided to go with the HKB one, it's considerably cheaper, it does the indicators, it is easy to setup, does the horn, and also cancels the airbag light too for 88 delivered it was well worth it. (unfortunately no snapoff but with the size of the wheel drastically reduced its fine . ) Okay before i got around to getting this fitted, i started having some problems with the car. As the above graph shows, i should be getting to around 75mph in 2nd gear. i had an issue where it felt like i was hitting the limiter at around 58-59mph. i was a bit baffled by this. On the weekend of Japfest i had a new set of iridium spark plugs fitted, and an OEM fuel filter.on monday this week (17/08/15) i had the car go in for its MOT (passed, no advisories ) and also had an OEM Oil filter and the bottle of 10w50 i posted in my previous post. Posting this issue to my group i was bombarded with a few different things it could have been;fuel filteroil (this was suggested by my mechanic haha)MAF Sensorfuel pumpspark plugstimingmultiple other things. still baffled i managed to get a video of the issue to show the lads. i will provide the link here if you're interested in watching. ; https://youtu.be/5FBIRUx7wNM A local lad to me that also owns a 14a called gary managed to give me a huge huge hand on thursday with checking a few things(pic of his bay below) with his home taught mechanic skills we managed to find that it was the stupidest simplest thing of my plugs were not tight! (how embarrasing. so proceeded to get them tightened and voila, fixed! on friday evening i managed to get the steering wheel fitted, took about 90 mins so not too bad really got a few random snaps of the car (sorry its filthy!) (vai pictured above)(huge thanks to my lovely girlfriend for coming to japfest with us, and was nice to see that you warmed to the car community a little and maybe even understood it all a little) (suggested me to go lower!?!) still cannot get over how nice this wheel is. sorry for such a pic heavy update. got a few other little plans for the rest of the year but nothing major unfortunately.
