Hi there. Ive got a facelift 98 civic coupe (originally a 1.6 nonvtec). Ive just put a b20 vtec together (b20z1 bottom end and b18c4 head) and put it in the car. I used a preface lift ek9 engine loom which means theres a spare multiplug on the car loom. Ive wired the fuel pump in through a...

I've soldered and heatshrunk most of the wires now. Still no temp gauge. And I've found a few strange things. On block connector D (the small one), the wire for pin 6 knock sensor (red/blue) there is a brown and black wire spliced in, and the only brown/black wire on the engine loom is for...

I ran a wire,problem solved! But for some reason I now have no temperature gauge,cleaned the earth and changed the sensor for another I had lying around,no joy. So I stripped back the insulation tape only to find several twisted together wires! Guess the best thing to do would be to solder...

But it looked broken! Haha. And I keep hitting my exhaust off of everything so I've raised it a little,more so at the back. Il have to get another picture

Put them right down to start off with

As one of my rear coilovers was ruined (shocker was basically non exsistent) I decided to buy a new set of coilovers. I settle on AVO GTZ coilovers, there seem brilliant quality,were pretty easy to fitted and not only have adjustable ride height but also adjustable damping. Fitted them last...

And then I got brave lol
