some more slow but steady progress with this over the last few weeks. got these genuine Skunk 2 lower control arms at a price I couldn't refuse and as you can see from the pics the old ones were well due a change. One of the bolts wrung so I had to take the whole hub / trailing arm...

I've got all the suspension bits in and got the car back on its wheels. That's the coilovers at their highest setting which I'm happy with for now to get the car running right and through MOT then I'll drop them a bit, but not too much as the manifold sits very low! The only thing...

As promised major suspension update. Arrived home today to 4 parcels, I was like a child at Christmas :D New upper and lower balljoints Prothane ARB bushings and droplinks AND... Meister R Zeta S coilovers 32 way adjustable damping Have also got new RTA bushings coming. I...

Cheers lad yeah it should go alright :D What gear set would you recommend? 98 spec 1-2 and 96 spec 3,4,5 or aftermarket?

Obviously the weight will make a difference to the car lad I'm not stupid, what I meant was it doesn't make a difference to my project! I'm not building a stripped out track car so the weight isn't my top priority. Also the car is powered by a type R engine so I'm calling it a type R, is that...

thanks for the positive comments lads. for those questioning the weight im just going by the weight stamped on the chassis. maybe im wrong but doesnt make a whole lot of dfference tbh.

haven't had much time to work on this recently as I took a break for Christmas because I was scundered with it and then had exams for a few weeks but I took into it again last week and made a bit of progress. The main thing frying my head was the driveshafts. the car was making a terrible...

finally got a chance yesterday to make a bit of progress on this. so here it is in its new home for the next wee while over the pit in my workshop. I started to fit the 98 spec exhaust manifold but there wasnt enough clearance between engine and subframe to get it in so i removed the...

I've had this tucked away for a while now just waiting to sell the DC2 so that I could get started on it. It's a red 1991 EE9(UK) Civic VTi 1.6 16v As you can see from the pics it hasn't been on the road for quite a while. It has been dry stored for the last 3 years at least. Bodywork...

Bump, great going engine! have been in this car many times and the engine and box are 100%. someone get it bought before he sees sense and keeps it! :)

cheers lad! youll see it plenty more times this year about the prom, and youll hear it now too! new exhaust bought tonight, cannot wait to get it on!

Cheers Chris. the car was obviously well looked after! real credit to you mate. Unfortunately the twinloop sold tonight, sorry man. yes sounds good lad, cant wait to get this out again and see what you pick up. no doubt it will be just as epic!

ok cheers lads. Derek ill be in touch soon about ordering some stuff.

Do you think they're as good? I didnt read much into it but I assumed because they are 3 times the price they would be better?

ok youll probably see nothing wrong inside the distributor but try push starting it when it doesnt start. if that works then its likely the same problem i had.

does the engine management light come on at all? mine did something similar, wouldnt start when cold but started with a push. and started again fine when warm. turned out to be the distributor. But it could also be the coolant temp sensor which is screwed into the head. it would throw up a...

cheers mate. yeah thats the one, I was chatting to him about it last week there he really loved this car! lol Just a quick update on this, the car has been covered in the shed for the last few months but im starting work on it now to hopefully have it out for easter. Plans at the minute are...

it would. did you try push starting it?

fiver here on it being the diStributor
