And as she stands just now. As most off you will have read. A little bit wet! As i've discovered fords are not the best place to take a lowered car with a cold air intake through

Stuiped me!
But since i'm not one to do things sitting down i decided to use this opportunity to make the car better. By spending far to much money on new toys
![Smile :)](./images/smilies/icon_smile.gif)
A new engine was top of the list. I found a rebuilt engine for sale from a bloke on hondacrx.
Knowing that i'd be waiting a while until the garage was free and not being able to spend money on petrol i started looking for some parts and doing little jobs. Having already fitting a s/s exhaust a s/s manifold seemed a good idea also. I chose to buy one of the japspeed ones from ebay. Cost a little more than some of the others but the welds look nice and the thing feels quite good quality. So i'm glad i did.
I also bought a f1 racing lightweight flywheel and stage one clutch from ebayusa. This thing looks the business and it's such a shame it's going to be hidden
Unfortunately the front pads were done and one of the discs was warped. Luckily i found someone selling black diamond discs and pads front and back for the same price as new standard ones. Since i wont be running silly power through my car i didn't think a bb conversion was needed right now. Anyways these feel pretty good and sharp
And finally. The last of my purchases and the biggest hassle! I bought it over 6 weeks ago of some douche! It was meant to be a socketed and chipped ecu ready to go, just fit it and sorted. But this was far from the truth

The bloke sent it out without a chip. After getting sordfish (top bloke) from here to burn me a chip it's still playing up

We've been trying it in a mates 16v crx. It goes into 'safe mode' or somethnig. Idling at 2000rpm and limiting at 3500rpm. And the engine management light stays on all the time

Anyone got any ideas?
Also i'm beginning to get bored and do daft things
