EFK9 B16B - The Speedboat

[Marc_EE9]

I won't, I just want to give it a rest for a while and focus on other things.

It's nearly as I want it so all I can do now is look after it and fine tune things.

AHEM AHEM, Marc

Bought a couple of bits for the car, nothing major. Picked up a new OE stereo blank, and a set of new Mugen engine mounts, as I'm getting very jerky gear changes, and I have a brand new OE quality clutch kit fitted, so I'm hoping this will cure it. The mounts were perfect before the swap, and look to be the same ones, althought I can't check the one at the back.
Would the jump in power from a B16A1 to B16B cause this issue?

[Tahir]

Not really.

The rubber is 20+ years old in the mounts though and new mounts will definitely help.

[Marc_EE9]

It's quite annoying TBH, as I haven't really been able to drive the car properly with it (as well as crunchy box). I have a feeling they haven't used my original ones somewhere. Either way, they are probably needed, just seems odd timing that's all. I'll be happy if it does cure it.

Got a pair of seats off kav ef, gave them a quick clean today, but wouldn't mind diluting some fabric die as the edges are a bit faded.
I'm only using the passenger side (the drivers one is for sale, £15).

Is the drivers seat still for sale?








And my new ride height... actually doesn't look/handle too bad.

[Marc_EE9]

Picked up a few bits today for the Speedboat.

- Rear number plate brackets (I can get loads of these)
- Non-mouldy handbrake handle
- Black rear seat release pins
- Petrol cap slot
- DA gearknob

What fabric dye do you use? I tried it once and it wasn't so successful

[Marc_EE9]

I never got round to it.

More info ? I need to do this to my Sparco race seat.
it's urrently very faded red. I figured I'd go for black

[Marc_EE9]

I'm considering dying my DA seats save buying black ones. I would think you use a little dye and a lot of water.

[nominous]

Since it is red, I figured to bleach first then dye. Then wah. Then dye again. Then wash a few more times...
Totally uncharted territory

[Marc_EE9]

yeah not a bad idea. I'll be leaving the covers on so will use a spray bottle

[nominous]

I'll be stripping them and putting through the washing machine (just waiting for freecycle to pony one up)
