The Cat will only work effectively when it’s up to temperature. I still have the original cat on my car and it works perfectly.

Is your car is up to running temperature in that photo of the emissions tester? If so the only reason the CO is high is because the CAT isn’t working properly (worn out / blocked)

No I’m hoping it’s because the water wasn’t circulating due to the thermostat not opening, the water being pushed out into the expansion bottle is because it was getting too hot. Fingers crossed it’s just a thermostat and not a cracked cylinder head etc

So I was on my way home from work last night and I noticed my temperature gauge slowly rising! Heater on full brought it down for a sec then back up to 3/4’s on the gauge, stopped and checked if the thermostat was opening, it wasn’t fingers crossed it’s just a thermostat! Water had started...

Sorted my binding brake today Feels like the car has gained 20hp!

Thank you, it’s got a long length of hose from the black box to where you see the pcv valve now. Will try and source some original pipes

New regulators in and they work great. Tidied up the wiring. Added these bits of foam to each door to stop the rods rattling over bumps. Bit of a “silk purse out of a sows ear” job here, I decided to use as much of it as I could. Some of it was missing hence the tape. A pair of original...

Air conditioning is working like a dream. Both the electric windows don’t work, so plan is to fix them this weekend, luckily Hond-r had a pair for oem working regulators. When I took the drivers door card off I was greeted with this mess! why just why. The membrain ruined, I’ll make a new...

Check out my old one ☝️

And she’s back on the road, the running issue is 100% fixed, the engine now idles as it should. The air conditioning is ice cold ❄️ and the wipers are now fixed with the new motor and linkage. It’s now a pleasure to drive! I’ve got a pair of window regulators to fit and some small jobs to do...

Really looking forward to seeing your results, what a great project. I managed 252hp from my 1797cc b18c engine and it wasn’t even close to the spec yours is

Sounds like the sensor that triggers the spark isn’t working. You could prove this with an oscilloscope if you have use of one? I did this years ago and proved it was a dizzy before buying one. If you pop the fuel rail off with the injectors out of the manifold you could crank it and see if...

Engine is back together, seems to be running much better now. Before I can get the car back on the road there are a few issues that need attention. Rear crash bar was rotten. Replaced with this kreative designs bar. Bar fitted, removed number plate housing to repair broken tang plus...

Engine going back together tomorrow, hopefully running as well. Here are some photos of the rocker cover being restored.

I had to take the ek9 off the road for a while, so I’ve got a mk1 CRV which is proving useful until I fix the ek9, there was an oil leak from the corner of the headgasket that was getting worse and the running issue was worrying me with daily fault codes and lack of power. Good news is I found...

I’m booked in, better get my ek9 fixed!
