Project Hush - Bike carb mission !

Post by walsh123 »

Here's my little secret project that only half the forum know about :lol: but you never know might suprise a few of you :wink: I was going to wait until the dyno day to unveil it, but sadly that wont be happening now :(

So here's my daily beater :lol: The day i got it, 5th of november;

Image

Yep i bought out the competition :OD

Image

Image

Sadly its not all been fun and games though, ive had a couple of problems with the old girl, i blame the previous owner :P

The clutch was slipping rather badly i adjusted it as i went down motorway on the way back, adjust services then drive to next services until i got it to be reasonable, i managed to hold off changing it until christmas i had an eventful boxing day :lol:

Image

As it was christmas hols, my boss at the garage let me do the clutch at the garage, wierdly im alot quicker at doing it on the floor :| took me bloody ages on the ramp :lol:

Let the strip down begin. (also fitted cam cover from my old D15)

Image

Image

Image

Driveshafts out

Image

box off

Image

Friction plate :shock:

Image

Image

Image

Oh so that where all my friction plate is, took an age to clean that up :o Damn Ed with his pensioner driving riding the clutch :P

Image

With clutch done i started to mess around with the car abit, i fitted some koni adjustable front shocks and spax rear shocks with some 35mm springs for a Vt and some loop eye LCA's that i poly bushed. Kept it roughly same height as standard but made it much stiffer :shock:

A month or so later i bought some second hand meisters for the Dx, stripped them down cleaned them all out ready to fit to it, and yeah couldnt resist they ended up on the Gl :lol:

Image

Image

Image

Image

Its fairly low but could easily go lower about another inch all round :shock: But im not a mad tyte scene junky (just ignore the windeflectors n bra :oops: ) so will be staying that height as it doesnt scrape on anything and the handling is AMAZING :shock: Couldnt believe the difference in steering response alone, also great as i can cruise around with on the softest setting in perfect comfort and then break my spine when going for a blast :OD :twisted:

Image

Thats about everything i have pictures of, but i have also tuckedthe pas side wiring loom, replaced driver side caliper as it stuck on and smoked out the halfords car park when i got to work :oops: :lol: swapped the side repeaters for original ones and fitted USDM sidelights. Oh and of course undersealed it.

Since i got it ive done about 3000 miles and enjoyed everyone of one them apart from the brake binding :lol:

But sadly i cant use it anymore as i just cant realistically afford to insure it :( It was on a open trade policy but sadly as premiums have gone up so much my boss didnt want to get another open policy and i cant afford the £7,000 insurance :lol: Soim unsure what to do now but i have some plans that i have to do before anything else :wink:

Wow 7000 :shock:

Just curious, why is it that high?

If I had to bring an EE9 to Malta, the road tax is expensive but not the insurance. About £800 a year for road tax but the insurance is only about £200.

Im 18 buddy so young male driver worst thing in the world when trying to get insurance :(

Yeah standard height is never good not with power it has anyway made for some interesting handling characteristics :shock: :lol:
Gizmo wrote:Thought you had insurance sorted.....
Yeah it was all good man, but as boss had to renew his policy i cant use it now as the new policy he has wont cover me after working hours :(

I am trying sort out something though.

Just out of interest what is the deal with fully comp insurance ? Are you covered to drive someone elses car third party with the owners permission ? As if so that would make sense for me to get as i culd use the accord then aswell to pick up parts. Otherwise ill just look for TPF&T
