91 Jap Crap

[*Jonnyg*]

Hey guys, this is my 1991 Civic GL 1.4 dual carb. Picked it up on Thursday night, with FULL service history.. Mot till jan next year, Paid 425.


Only bad news, i took 1 photo and my phone gave up.. I've saved the picture on my memory card, so still got photo! The paint work was like sandpaper! And a very matt colour, no shine at all!


This is photo i've got anyway.



Anyway, after a serious jetwash! And alot of tcut... 8 hours later




Only photo i've got so far! Also put my orange bulbs in for sidelights, and my yellow headlight bulbs! Will be polishing it tomorrow, depending on weather!

Looks good bud.

White does really look good on 4G civics

Well think clutch is going! Never mind.. Any one know what i need? Gonna have to be a cheapun tho

You should be able to get a cheap clutch kit from local autofactors last time i checked it was around £100 for clutch pressure plate and release bearing. You will probabaly get it cheaper online though check ebay.

Also what makes you think its going try adjust ing the cable before buying anything

White GL's are the bees fricking knees

Is this the cable in front of the gearbox? What tools are needed?

[*Jonnyg*]

Right, i've seen the honda adjustment page.. Which way do i turn the nut? The biting point is right at the top of the clutch... So do i need 2 tighten it, for the clutch biting point to be lower?

[*Jonnyg*]

Well i turned it right, like its tighting it! I havn't taken it for a drive yet! But still feels the same.

[walsh123]

Yep thats the one bud

No tools needed. im not sure which way you need to turn it

But if turning it right didnt do much undo it. You will need to turn it a few times for it to make a noticable difference.

[*Jonnyg*]

Turned it right, to tighten it.. And.. made it worse... So clutch is on its way out

Have you tried turning it to the left ? as if it gets worse going to the right it can only get better going to the left or make no difference.

If the clutch has gone dont worry too much its not very hard or expensive to change if you were going to do it your self.

[*Jonnyg*]

Surely tighting it, would do it better tho? I'll give it a shot tho suppose


Is they a how to do it thread on it?
