glanzanut22 Posted September 15, 2016 Author Share Posted September 15, 2016 I have started the task of cleaning up the engine bay.Here's the bay before with 28 years of grime.I put some undiluted Tfr into a spray bottle and covered everything, giving it half an hour to soak in.Then I wiped down everything I could get to by hand, before taking it to the jet wash.I covered all the vitals with bags just in case.The results are nothing short of amazing. Going to keep going now replacing nuts and bolts and polishing various bits. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Wiring a set into my own ep70 and would like a pic of the loom to compare what colour wire goes where Quote Link to post Share on other sites

glanzanut22 Posted February 3, 2017 Author Share Posted February 3, 2017 Haven't made much progress over the winter, but that's the build complete on the new garage so it's all go. The 71 I'm keeping factory is still in the spray shop 🙄. So I have started tearing into the daily toy. First on the agenda was to strip the front end and remove all the air con system to free up space.I finished rebuilding the hybrid, which is considerably larger that the ct12 Fabricated a nice bracket to mount the actuator in place.Then got her mounted and hooked up.I just purchased a Jam actuator .95 bar, and have a civic rad and hdi fmic en route. Sort out some fueling and she will be ready for a test run. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
The_Notorious_C_A_T Posted February 6, 2017 Share Posted February 6, 2017 Looking good, can't believe you have 2, 1 would be rare enough now a days. Keep up the good work! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bean Posted February 18, 2017 Share Posted February 18, 2017 Nice one Ian, just read through this thread. keep us updated mate. The daily was mint so i cant wait to see what the other one will end up like! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
glanzanut22 Posted February 19, 2017 Author Share Posted February 19, 2017 Been a good week and got plenty done.I really didn't want the hdi core in front of the crash bar, as it would have meant cutting the bumper. And also would have been way more visible than I'm wanting. So I managed to squeeze it behind the crash bar. And don't get me wrong it's tight, even with a slim rad and fan. But it's in now and looking good. Piping it was an absolute nightmare. I ended up buying 180 degree bends to get it to work. There's a few bits need refined which I'm going to do today. But overall I'm happy with the way it's turned out. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BMX-RIG Posted February 19, 2017 Share Posted February 19, 2017 Looks like the bov came up a treat, glad you were able to make use of it👍 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
glanzanut22 Posted February 19, 2017 Author Share Posted February 19, 2017 Thanks mate, it's all looking good now. No clearance issues. Surprised I managed to fit it in there but it's better for it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BMX-RIG Posted February 19, 2017 Share Posted February 19, 2017 Just wants the core painting black now 😉 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
glanzanut22 Posted February 19, 2017 Author Share Posted February 19, 2017 Stripped the rad back off today as I wasn't happy with the fan I had used as it was a bit rough. So mounted the air con fan and made some new stainless mounts. Don't think Sacha will be worried I'll put him out business quite yet lol, but they look decent enough.
