Thats why in Scotland everyone with a 'nice' honda like yours just buys a winter 'beater' and take their pride and joy off the road - its normally just a car for less than £500 which they sell on in springEE9 CVC wrote:Its really hard keeping a car in top shape during our winter months. Causes me lots of stress triing to do so. Bloomin dirt & wet & salt & snow, I am looking forward to the smmer.
Thats what i did, and im glad i did! saved £500, with that money braught a CRX, got a months driving out of it, broke it and made x3 my moneyEE9 CVC wrote:I will deffinitly try to do that next winter and get mine off the road from the Middle of November to Middle of Febuary.
Yeah, if you look at the mount at the front to the left of the manifold, there is a rubber bit which the bolt goes through, bit its not solid, therfore you can put the hoses above and beneath it. If you have a look at yours it will be obvious where I put them. The rear is much the same, its a bit of a squeeze getting them stuffed in there.So did you put the bits of hose around the bolt for the mount?
They do weight a lot less (I'll weigh them both when I swap them) As these are in mint condition with no clouding I am hoping the vis will be fine, they are actually in better shape than my glass ones.Those headlights look fresh yo! I've toyed with the idea, as they weigh a hell of a lot less than glass ones, but don't know if the visability would be worse, as my friends EG siR isn't great compared to glass ones. But if they are cleaned up they should be ok?
Thanks, but I'm still not totaly happy, don't know whylooking nice and tidy under the hood! looks brand new!
Theres not really anything else I can do other than move the line going to the servo. Sometimes I hate being so fussy, I can never be completly satisfied with anything.cool, i will take a look at that tomorrow, thanks!EE9 CVC wrote:Yeah, if you look at the mount at the front to the left of the manifold, there is a rubber bit which the bolt goes through, bit its not solid, therfore you can put the hoses above and beneath it.

if they are kept polished up they should be fine. just a pita getting bulbsEE9 CVC wrote:They do weight a lot less (I'll weigh them both when I swap them) As these are in mint condition with no clouding I am hoping the vis will be fine, they are actually in better shape than my glass ones.Those headlights look fresh yo!

sounds just like me mate!EE9 CVC wrote:Thanks, but I'm still not totaly happy, don't know whylooking nice and tidy under the hood! looks brand new!
You should try it, it helps minimise wheel hop and makes gearchanging better and easier. Make sure you use stiff hose, and make sure they are tight packed or they will fall out.cool, i will take a look at that tomorrow, thanks!
Yeah, I'll keep them polished and sealed so should be ok, Hopefully the bulbs don't go.if they are kept polished up they should be fine. just a pita getting bulbs
well like myself you sound intreged and interested in how things work, so by all means. im interestedEE9 CVC wrote:You should try it, it helps minimise wheel hop and makes gearchanging better and easier.

I was thing about putting a thermometer in my engine bay out of interest to see what the general and intake temperature are. You think this could be worth doing just out of interest?
Its nice to have other people appreciate the amount of work that goes into it.I'll definitly give this a go when I get the chance, an outside air temp will be easy to get too. Just got to decide where to put the sensor, I was thinking either just behind or in front of the filter as I reckon if it was next to it the moving air would give a cooler reading that what it is actually intaking. Not sure where to put it for a general bay temperature?Marc_VT wrote:well like myself you sound intreged and interested in how things work, so by all means. im interestedEE9 CVC wrote: I was thing about putting a thermometer in my engine bay out of interest to see what the general and intake temperature are.

would be good to get an outside temp as well to compare

Also I will do it for normal driving and fast VTEC driving.
ok, ive just had a look, and i see what you mean. the 3 gaps in the rubber. how the hell did u get them all in? ones you cant get to. or did you take them out?EE9 CVC wrote:Yeah, if you look at the mount at the front to the left of the manifold, there is a rubber bit which the bolt goes through, bit its not solid, therfore you can put the hoses above and beneath it.
