My dad making full use of the snap off boss i just bought

It was a bargain and has bought the steering wheel right where i wanted it to be! Feels better to drive and its a little extra safety

The best one is wlking around a big supermarket like tesco with the steering wheel in your hand that gets some funny looks haha

Carrying on from the last episode,
This evening i got busy stripping the other gearbox and swapping a few cogs, It was daunting to say the least, but hugely satisfying having one shaft built up...

The shaft on the left is the one i am utilising, i noticed a difference in size for the input shaft bearing at the top, so i used the on applicable to the casing it is going in. The 16v Bearing was larger than that of the GL if anyone is curious, i used the GL on due to it going back in that casing.

I didn't need to build both shafts back up but i did anyway for practice. I really enjoy gearboxes tbh... Its almost the realm of the unknown to alot of people. I look forward to doing a rebuild at somepoint... that is of course if this box combo works as intended.

Also just so you remember what my car looks like heres a crappy snap with my mates valver, She looks filthy in this pic!

Got wood? Finally source a horn button albeit this was months ago i am yet to throw a picture up

I will get the counter shaft done when i can as i need access to a vice and quite possibly a gear puller... i am hoping college can help

Untill next time Ladies and gents,
Peace!

I love mine dan. Although sometimes i do think a suede one will be nice i am tempted to get a suede one at some point just for a change. Next year alot of parts going on the car will be very fast road/track focused so maybe then. I plan to get a fixed bucket, A proper shifter like an FLP or the tegiwa rep and some uprated engine mounts

. I have been fiending for an OMP WRC wheel since jack sold mine for silly cheap

yeh you cant beat the feel of a decent suede wheel..fixed buckets make a huge difference as well,they keep you properly secure so your not thrown around,which means you can push the car harder

I noticed that as soon as i put my recaro in it felt like the car 'handled' better. They also weigh less than the normal seat

Gearbox update.

I started to swap gears from one countershaft to the other, however it did not go as expected, the gears came off the crx shaft with ease, yet it took a bit more force and e lever bar to remove the gears from the civic shaft. Also after a few part searches and a schematic diagrams of both shafts on the Honda original parts website i found that one bearing on the civic shafts is 0.2mm smaller than that of the crx. So there is quite clearly some differences in shaft diameter albeit very small.

Also like a c@^t i cracked a tooth on one gear, but not to threat i am sourcing another box this weekend. I will not give up to be honest as i know that it should work, there is no reason why it should not as the yanks have done it and proceed to do it regularly. None the less the battle goes on. I only managed one picture due to being at college and not having much time(This didn't help)

Untill next time.
