I still need to make the replacement wishbones. Is this a common thing or something you've dreamt up? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SamKidney Posted October 21, 2016 Report Share Posted October 21, 2016 Really missing having a "fun" car. My coilovers should be landing tomorrow and my B16 is STILL up on the loft at work. Keep getting messed around! The temptation to fit both onto the green daily civic is strong... One replacement fan blade wheel landed at work today, and my other is back from the repair spot so I have a set again which is cool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TROYston Posted October 22, 2016 Report Share Posted October 22, 2016 Throttle body cleaned, TDC sensor cleaned,new batterez Still no joy.... But i have noticed it will only happen if i go full throttle in a journey 'normal' driving seems to be fine and it has no issue.... Need to check the gearbox ribbon ground.... but have literally no clue where it is? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SamKidney Posted October 22, 2016 Report Share Posted October 22, 2016 I fit wheels springs and my old zorst on the daily. It looks ace and I'm begining to wonder if I'd be better swapping the k20 into it instead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SamKidney Posted October 23, 2016 Report Share Posted October 23, 2016 JDM SiR ECU sourced. Just a loom to find... B16 is going in the green one 120mph limit on the ECU as its a JDM item Think I can de-solder the offending article on the circuit board though.

Danny Posted October 25, 2016 Report Share Posted October 25, 2016 I accidentally some 10x6 wheels. They need a refurb but new wheels would need a refurb in 18 months anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it's been done before I've not seen it. I have a habit of seeing if commonly avalible Motorsport parts are anywhere near fitting to save some cash. A quick measure showed that an escort rack has a nearly identical joint-joint width to the Porsche, it's general layout's the same and a heavy duty rally 2.4 turn quick-rack new with track-rods is cheaper than a 'quick-rack kit' (that requires a good or referbed rack to built it into) for the Porsche. A bit of welding and turning later and the escort one fits. The slight difference in length of the escort rack will actually give less bump steer.

dann2707 Posted October 25, 2016 Report Share Posted October 25, 2016 I haven't really updated my stuff in here properly for ages! So in summary - Got an epic new job. It's f**king sick - i'm developing new engines. So with that I've moved house. Got a nice town house for me and the gal with a decent sized garage 20161019_210526 by dann2707, on Flickr I'm making an engine table out of an old f4r 20161022_183049 by dann2707, on Flickr Picked up my new daily as boris is off the road now for the turbo conversion. Its shitty, its slow as f**king f**k, its a diesel with no turbo but it gets 65mpg all day long. it's also got a huge dent in the wing haha 20161025_173508 by dann2707, on Flickr 20161025_173521 by dann2707, on Flickr Wheel trims weren't my choice Got my welder going tonight, managed to get a surprisingly good weld with no splatter without gas! 2016-10-25_08-28-55 by dann2707, on Flickr So so much to learn with it, but I can't wait to really nail it! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete.M Posted October 25, 2016 Report Share Posted October 25, 2016 Pretty cool, I'm jealous. It's frustrating having a nice engine sitting in Glasgow (costing me storage money since December!) but not being able to do anything with it until I get a garage down here. Probably should've cut my losses a long time ago! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jolfa Posted October 26, 2016 Report Share Posted October 26, 2016 Sold RVR for a tidy $1300 profit, Golf is going end of the week for a tidy $1000 profit (which considering it wasn't even for sale is pretty good!), agreed to buy A4, already bought S4 wheels to replace the f**king horrid turds fitted at the moment The Laurel whilst cool, would have got pretty boring, pretty quick I think and would've needed constant upkeep. Now looking for another little <$200 shit box to tart up and sell on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SamKidney Posted October 28, 2016 Report Share Posted October 28, 2016 Got the B16 swap running after much head scratching. Wont run on the ECU I bought for it, but will on my old old old ecu. Launch control works, but no temp reading and is stuck at launch control when driving. Sorted VSS Signal wire to ECU (should sort launch control issue) and one or two others. Just need to wire in VTEC Oil pressure lines and replace my idle control valve and should be all good to go.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
