  1. Put bluntly my brothers has just split, and mine just failed its mot on an excessively worn one, both less than a year old!! Plus they dont actually properly bolt to the shock so you have to faff about with an adapter Also has anyone got a spare front set of desent front brakelines??
  2. agreed or atleast paint them white!! cars looking sweet, really like the remix bumper on this getting me thinking
  3. could always have them filled up with nitrogen if your that bothered about changing pressures (it remains at a more constant pressure over changing temperatures), most tyre fitters can do it sts holburns etc. for a small cost. but obiously you would want to find out what pressure you would want to be running before having them filled.
  4. i get 30-34mpg outa mine albit a 1.6 and n/a
  5. ahh well nope, not a FCD but a SLD yes! thats one down one to go
  6. nope and my cars n/a so no need for a fcd ;)
  7. got two new things to add to my car soon, going to be needing a 3rd item because of one of them.... what could it be?? hint: there both hks
  8. Sounds awsome! be interesting to know when the ellecy motors actually being used, cant be just pit usage, must be under acceleration etc and must be using some sort of k.e.r.s aswell id assume? Still lets home it gets some results
  9. as long as the vibrations from the engine dont trigger any sensors on the alarm it shouldnt be a problem it will just lock up like usual also the alarm will take 30secs to actually set in most cases. The remote start is your biggest worry because ideally you want a neutral switch (to tell the alarm the cars in/not it gear) which manual starlets dont have so fitting one of these somehow is advisable. my car can be started in gear and actually drive off by itself!!
  10. im on bc's massive difference between soft and hard, so can be ajusted to suit your needs. only thing i can say with bc's is that adjusting them correctly (not moving the spring seat) the rears dont go particularly low, whereas im sure meisters do!
  11. Haha some of you guys are nuts, but fair play, every little helps as they say. How many people have been in striped hondas? my bros got a ef civic, only left in front seats doorcards n dash. Its far noisier rattlier than my car n its the same with most I've been in they dont seem to be built quite as solid as ep's. They all seem to squeek and shake alot more :/ Oh and my bros civic is a daily! Dont ask hes lost it lol
  12. seeing what that thing started out as is unbelievable!! shame he broke it for spares yeah im much the same, im just seeing what people think/have done etc I've just gone for stripped out rear, looking for new wheels and going to remove some sound proofing. not up for perspex and all that. altho a nice lightweight battery like nightspirits might be a good idea
  13. haha well yes, this is true but im too lazy to do exercise so i expect my car to loose weight instead
  14. right im just thinking about how much weight its possible to remove from an ep, more so a ep91 because i have one starting with the obvious spare wheel. rear seats rear plastics sound proofing. rear wiper ass. these are the easiest most obvious and cheapest mods to do saving maybe 30-50kgs say. other free or cheap mods but more extreme are removing braces within the doors and boot converting to winder rather than ellecy windows?? again you may save if your lucky 5kgs i know a few people that have gone further and removed carpet, roof lining, drilled out the underside of their dash, d
  15. After seeing yours im tempted by it, is your box from a 4e or 4a? Guessing the 4e, but im guessing the levin 6spds differ from the 2zz and 4e ones, everyone has trouble with them on forums :/ I mite just get a 6spd n a 4.3 f/d n see about fitting a a/m lsd and maybe find a longer gear for 6th for cruising if its possible. One good thing about mine is I can do 80 at 3500rpm or less which makes it fairly eco on runs haha
  16. mines fubar'd loosing shed loads of power thru it most people recon they loose 25-30hp mines 45hp if the dyno readings were anywhere near acurate! so looking for a 5spd lsd from a ae111 but they are imposible to come by, i did however find one on jap yahoo auctions. full trd gearset 4.312 final drive etc.... starting bid £1236 errmm ill pass haha not sure if the 6 speed would fit in my bay either, if its got a bigger casing on the 5th-6th gear end of the box then it wont, but the 6th gear on the ae boxes is apparently a real weak gear aswel!
  17. Think this thing would be quicker than mine until I sort out my sh*te gearbox, gearings far too long in mine really dies in 4th gear compared to this thing, its imense!!
  18. dont go for pradas if u use your car daily, brilliant in the dry but the 1st sign on damp and there terrible. you really have to slow down on them ;)
  19. Not worth the hassle tbh if your guna do it atleast as a minimum drop a 91 spec 4age in 130hp 115lbft. But apart from cost of the engine u may then just aswel put a 20v in 165hp 121lbft, all these would need the same amount of work to fit The 7afe would pull ok but you would get bored of it really quickly I would imagine lol
  20. Looks tidy mate (y) some lad round my ways got a modded one of these kicking out like 160hp n/a needless to say he works for emerald ecu's lucky git haha
  21. Them polished ones look sweet, was guna do my speedlines but gave up after two spokes haha Gunmetal or white would look pretty sweet I recon, maybe ask kindly for someone to do a photoshop ;)
  22. Oh and did u try shutting the heater off whilst putting water thru just to check that the valve is operating properly. And I've never removed a heater matrix so cant help there
  23. If u get the car upto temp WITHOUT the cap on it wont be under any pressure just bubbles a lil bit you said you tried running the hose pipe thru your inlet and outlet of your heater matrix pipes on the bulkhead? Did water flow thru ok? If it did then I cant see that would be much of a problem :s Does alot of air come out of your airvents? Do you need a new cabin filter? Mines got pathetic lately and need to look at mine
