Well after over 3 weeks of no civic IT'S BACK

Even better than before, since it was off road I thought I'd get a few bits done to tidy her up

Firstly I sprayed my oil cooler black and my crash bar red(it had a bit of rust)

Strip down

Image

Image

All sprayed up and fixed back on
Image

Then I decided to mesh the lower front lip as I had to chop the standard grill out for the oil cooler, I tidied it up more than that afterwards
Image

All finished
Image

Then I managed to get hold of a rear progress 24mm arb and rose jointed drop links, I got the arb powdercoated as it was in a bad condition.

Comparing standard and 24mm
Image

Fitted
Image

I also wrapped the exhaust in heat wrap incase it knocked on the arb can just seeit in the pics
Image
Image

Then I headed over to grinspeed to get the gearbox fixed and a 5.46 final drive and carbon synchros fitted

My god the car has changed it just pulls so hard, even in 6th on the motorway over taking is so easy. I can't wait to get on track And test it out properly :twisted:


Big thanks to Bower(Luke) for all the advice and help.

Your a legend bud!!!

There was a few

The selector has a crack in it

The pin holes in the shafts in the gear box that give a direct oil feed to gears and synchros had blocked

1st gear synchro had warped

So stevie said the box has been overheating and caused the synchros to overheat hence why I had no 2nd but then once cooled down I did

I haven't updated this in a while

Iv bought a mugen wing but I have no pictures of that yet

The slag reached a massive milestone think I'm going to get a compression test done just to see how the old girl is and the valve clearances and maybe chain and tensioner depending how it is

Also bought a OMP targa suede steering wheel with a momo boss adapter and a D1 spec snap off boss, car now feels like a go kart and driving is a lot better now as I found myself reaching for the steering wheel with the bucket seat but now with it being a lot closer its great.
