(saloon dimensions are the same as Avant) Now I just need a Caddy shell, and a ton of cutting discs, and a welder, and to be in the same country as all of these things Edited February 17, 2016 by Jolfa 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SamKidney Posted February 17, 2016 Report Share Posted February 17, 2016 (edited) Desperately need a standard exhaust manifold. This 4-1 is shit and blows, hangs too low and catches on everything. Makes it sound like a bloody tractor chuffing away out of the two lower runners. Tempted to get it sorted and do a few other odds and sods like the inner rack end and drop links and get it sold. Insurers have turned round and want a bloody fortune out of me now. Cheaper to insure a proper VTi. Same engine and chassis.

Danny Posted February 18, 2016 Report Share Posted February 18, 2016 Dunno what they go for? Make me an offer. I'll need to separate it from the CAT and remove the lambda first as i need those. I'll swap it for your 4-1 if you want? As it will need cutting up anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SamKidney Posted February 18, 2016 Report Share Posted February 18, 2016 Swaps for the 4-1 is fine by me. It's well flatted on the bottom though... Yeah I don't need the cat or lambda Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SamKidney Posted February 18, 2016 Report Share Posted February 18, 2016 Just ordered this: K-Tuned billet B/D series shifter. Adjustable throw and height/reach. On with turning a solid alloy front linkage bush for the steady bar to replace the perished oem rubber item. Coupled with the weighted gear knob I have here and the replacement gearbox I will eventually get round to fitting, changing gear will soon be a delightfully crisp experience. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Haz Posted February 19, 2016 Report Share Posted February 19, 2016 That is one area Civics are better than the Clios. The Clio box/linkage doesn't get many trick aftermarket parts, so you're stuck with a scenic shifter and a few brass bushes. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CurtisRider Posted February 19, 2016 Report Share Posted February 19, 2016 After spending the week redecorating my house I finally found the time to get prepping the steels! I'm still undecided as to what colour/colours to go for but at least I can get them in primer 2 wheels were rather riddled with brake dust and surface rust, and I wanted to keep rust at bay So I degreased them, used some alloy wheel cleaner and then wire brushed them rather a lot. I then slapped some Hammerite on with a brush as it's only the inside and nobody sees it Annoyingly there was some white paint still on the brush but at least its tidy and protected a bit better there now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The k tuned billet shifters for the k swaps into the older chassis are a work of art. Feel amazing. The shifter I've ordered feels brilliant with the solid bushes, unbelievably crisp and direct.
