Its getting pampered more now than before.
What coilovers are you going for?
Pollard sold it to one my his mates that i know then i brought it off him. He had it for like 2weeks never drove it or even washed it so i had to buy it off him Lol.
Dunno wat coilovers yet depends on how much i get paid Lol :-p
Sold it ages ago to a guy called kane over in wales for 1200.
He said he was going to put a k20 lump in it but never heard from him since or seen the car.
But my mate in honda did get a call from someone asking for parts and refereed to this civics reg and chassis number about a month ago.
K20- got one out of an ep3, couldnt be botherd so sold it to my buddy who had it in his ek.
Had nothing but problems with this car, hench the full rebuild, so in heinsight, probally should of gone with the K swap, as it has cost me around £3000 so far.
and the K was around £4000 ish, so...
anyways tho, its going well atm.
its now my main project as i sold my last civic.
focusing on getting as much hp from the little A9, as they are a capable engine, and an engine swap is far to easy.
and altho having vtec is fun and feels awesome, its not always needed, as with most vtec engines- they make all there power and torque after around 5k.
what i hope to do with this none vtec engine is get similar power and torque, but lower in the rev range.
so we have- fully rebuild gearbox with shorter gearing ratios in 4th and 5th (top end is around 130ish)
teg driveshafts
new halfshaft
light weight fly
stage 3 clutch
block fully rebuild, serviced etc.
new internals etc etc
forged rods
forged pistons (oem CR)
ML Head gasket
New rad
New rad cap 1.3
New piping
IM- ported and flowed
TB - Venturi ported
Bisimoto Gasket on the cold side
AEM Ram
Head skimmed and polished
cylinder head p and p'd
the list goes on...
looking to get as much NA hp from it as possible, as i have seen the A9 making 230hp NA wihtout bodies.
must be making over 140hp now, as when i bought it, it was running around that.
i would aim for similar power to a b16b with bolt ons, so nowhere short of 190hp
also has - all new windows, new panels, new doors, new front bumper, new wings, new sills.
needs a new exhaust as the one on there atm is shite, and is COVERED in exhaust putty. God knows why.
Got a S2 exhaust on order and looking for a decent V2 bisi header.
I would like any or all of the previous owners to come forward and tell me what exactly They did to the car, as when i bought the car from Ed, it was SHAGGED.
list me anything that i would have to fix, and i will fix it.
im a mechanic, so its not a problem.
what is a problem is when i am driving along to my Mrs. house, the car dies on the spot, i then have to tow it back to the garage, stripp it all down and find out wtf is going on.
That time it was the dizzy cap/ rotor arm and the spark plug holes were leaking oil.
So, if there is any problems i need to know about.
