Yeah Bill is mate

[mattj]

All timed up and working correctly, goes like a bat.

B16 cam covers. As you can see the timing lock outs are on the side of the cover, at an angle.


ITR cam cover on the top, b16 bottom. You can see the difference in cam timing lock outs here.


All done



Also control arm bushes arrived this morning from Lee, much appreciated mate

Had it tuned last night, very very happy with how well it goes. The mid range and instant pick up is amazing, and vtec pulls. Very hard.

Plans for today are to change oil for some good stuff, probably Millers, and a hamp filter. Finish painting strut brace and fit it. Exhaust is blowing from one of the joints, clamp needs tightening.

[mattj]

Presently sat at the tyre place after a nail lodged it's self in the nearside front. THAT WAS MEANT TO BE PETROL MONEY!

[SuperDOHC]

sorry to hear about the nail in the tire

now since you have not much petrol money bring it home, wash, polish and loadz of pics please

[Tahir]

So you coming to York in this for some drag runs?

[mattj]

Puncture fixed, quick bath and went to a local fortnightly meet tonight, very impressed with how well it goes. near enough on par with a fettled Accord type R.

T yeah mate fo sho! I'll be at the next RWYB.

[mattj]

Cheers lads, after the drive i had last night (more so the noise it makes) I love my civic.

The strut brace looks awesome, but doesnt fit because of the iacv, at least i'm guessing that's what it is. The little vacum on the intake that's controlled by the position of the throttle bracket?


I need to find out what colour my car is. It's been repainted before, but it's not Rio Red. Things like my chargespeed are having to be held off because i dont know what colour i need to paint it, and also things like remove rear wiper and flush the boot lid.

Talking a deal with some new wheels too, and also getting a skunk2 65mm billet TB. I think when that's on and i've next got some spare time i'll look at removing the air box resonators and just run a direct cold feed.

[Tahir]

Get an ITR inlet on there too, would work well with your setup and your strut brace would fit too.

Cold air feed would be a good idea too..

Did you find the es lube I put in the tube aswell matt?

Get a video up of the new set up

[mattj]

Mate of mine has ITR inlet with TB and a skunk2 thermal gasket, think that could be a good choice. Then i'll have an ITR TB to sell. I never Lee, thanks for pointing it out i'll have another look lol.

I dont yet mate. I was thinking about it but it's Friday 13th. While I'm not superstitious I do have the worlds worst luck lol.
