The GF got me a kit to brew beer a few weeks ago. I've never had a go at anything before, need to do some reading up first.

looks awesome be great to see this at JAE!

But what about the cider!!!??

Ah no worries. I cant remember what the filter was now, its probably in a pic. Its got an Apexi filter on it now.

I can't believe she lives to tell another tale

Plenty life left in EMO yet mate. 

£85-100 I would say.

I think its just there are two different type of top mount. One which sits ontop of the spring and one which wraps over them a bit. GT has 4 stud top mounts glanza has 3 I think.

there's a few guys making fibre glass ones which seem good copies and there's one guy who is definitely shipping to the uk. He also does the full trd kit. He's on facebook but I cant remember his name now I will have to check when ive got my phone.

Keep us updated mate as I've the SR special KYB's on my car. They are hard to get hold of and no one sells them in the uk so will be expensive to import new ones. I find my gt is very stiff on the SR specials with RSR ti2000 springs. I also have a set of TRD springs which I planned to swap over to see if that made the ride a bit softer.

Any updates on these Ian?

keep at it mate!

Just remembered 2 number plates from my mum's old Gt turbo automatics

One registration was K661 PDN, it was a black one and it was around 8 years ago since my mum had it

The second one was K749 EMO, the colour was like a gunmetal gray and the last I heard, it got a manual swap and was flipped on a quick profit basis

Thanks, Kie

Just spotted this. I Have EMO! I bought it from a builder just outside Sheffield about 3 or 4 years ago. Its still going strong and still an auto. have you got any old pics or info on the car. Its still in decent condition just the paint on the bonnet the clear coat has came off.

It had a few botches on it when I got it like cut springs and the standard exhaust had a fair few clamp repair things on with mesh to try patch it up lol. But the car was still pretty much standard just a different air filter on it.

Emo's thread

TF035H seems a good setup for response. The Blitz turbo may be cool but its nothing special now, better hybrids can be made or are already available with billet wheels ect.

You cant map the blitz ecu either. Dont bother wih COP not needed and its just hassel and a waste of cash, stick with the dizzy its good for plenty power yet. A decent ct9 will do 200 no bother mapped.

They are a good car to learn on as they are pretty simple and easy to work on and parts are cheap. You've done a good job sticking at it all this time.

Your leak sounds bad though best get that sorted asap.

Plenty fun to be had in a GT, you dont need loads of power in them. yours should be good for some decent boost being forged if you got an emanage ultimate and get it mapped at the turbos limit. Handy your dad could help you out too.

Just a thought did you check the wastegate penny can fully open into that Blitz downpipe?

Ive a similar setup but with a Tongs gt spec hybrid and my wastegate couldnt open much as theres a bump cast into the blitz downpipe where the wastegate opens, i ported it all out and it really helped and seemed to free the car up a bit too.

Like this

Just had a read through, good work. I thought when i saw the pic of the head off those pistons werent the stock ones then when i read down you could see the ARP's and the rods from underneath, bonus!

It's a shame to scrap a DC2, but I don't blame you. I bet that car is an absolute dog!

 

Sterlin work going on here. Keep it up!

Before it was crashed i bet it was a decent car as parts of the underneath are in better condition than mine even though its sat for over a year. I will likely use the petrol tank from it as thats in better condition and quite a few other bits especially the interior.

Thanks Jay, i only just spotted the post now. Ive not been working on the teg much other than finish welding that part of the floor up. I think its not a bad job.

Still miss the big cat not been the same without him.

few more pics

Its all welded up up now but no more pics of it im afraid.

Looks like my mate is going to take on making new sills and rear arches for it so all the rust and filler will be cut out and new good metal going in. hopefully in a few weeks we will see some progress.

Im after a box for my GT anything considered turbo, na, paseo, g6 ect.

Not done anything over the past few months as i found out my cat had cancer so i spent his last few weeks with him in the garden.

His name was Big Smokes.

Really miss him every day.

I did pick up another integra the other week. It had been crashed an sat on a farm for a year. A year went by and the guy finally got back to me so i picked it up.Its got a rebuilt b18c6 in it with high comp skunk2 valves HC spoon head gasket, head skimmed and fully rebuilt new bearings ect.

I will be using a few bits from it for mine then sell and scrap the rest.

I also picked up a precision intercooler and pipes from another Dc2

i got a bit more done last night.

More cutting to get back to good metal.

new repair piece made up and welded in. this took me quite a while to make even though it might look quite simple.

and from the back i also removed and cleaned up the end of the chassis leg and got some etch primer in there before i welded a piece on the piece back on. I had to cut a flap out to weld part of it from the inside to make sure it was right and then weld that up too.

I will be cutting the end of the floorpan out and also the bit which goes down to it then its all new and solid. After taht i will probably cut out the whole end of the sill and remake that and weld it in. Then it should be getting a bit more solid by then.

great thread.

Are you running this car on the stock dizzy but with a DTA ECU?

Yeah they love to rust mate.

Im just gunna keep bashing on with it. Its a bit of learning as i go with making the new pieces up. I just got an air saw the other day £20 off ebay and its great. no sparks flying everywhere like the grinder so that should help.

Ive got a bit more done. i had a small hole near where the rta bush bolts so i cut it out and welded a small piece in.

I also cut a bit out which incorporated a brace point which i think is used on the production line during manufactuing. its a good solid point which is handy for jacking on. Ive got a plate welded in and ive got the brace part cleaned up and had it sitting in rust eating solution over night. So i can weld that back in and then put some new steel around it and get it nice and strong again.

The part ive cut out to the right is inside the car.

Few overdue updates!

I got the Edelbrock stripped it had layers and layers of paint on it.

and sprayed wrinkle black.

I fitted this with the thermal inlet and throttle body gasket. I also changd all the seals and little filter in the injectors at the same time.

Battery tray cleaned up and sprayed champ white.

Then time to kick the GT4 out the garage for a while to work on the dc2.

Both rear toe adjusters were seized in bad. I couldnt get them out so i took the car to the garage down the road and they had the gas torch on it but nothing freeded them up they even snapped 2 snapon sockets trying!

I had already cleaned up the ends of the chassis legs and the boot floor but the rest of the rear end was ready for a good clean up and i knew it would need some welding.

First i had to get the toe arm off and try to get at this seized bolt/bush. In the end i had to cut through the bolt both sides of the bush then cut the toe arm in half and i managed to get it out.

rear trailing arm removed

After a bit of a wizz over with a wire wheel a few holes popped up.

But i stil needed to remove the end of the seized bolt from the tow adjust slider so i removed it completely from the car by drilling out the spot welds. It got a bit beat up while i was trying to remove the seized arm and it was heavily pitted from rust. I put it in a bilt hamber rust eating solution so see how it would get on.

Instantly it was fitting away.

When it came out there was lots of pin holes in it so i didnt want to refit it to the car. I also thought it was looking like a bit much work for me to do on my back. So i rang a guy and he was going to come round for a look before taking it to his garage to weld up for me. Then a mate told me to steer clear of him so i thought it should just man up and keep going.

I needed to make sure i got this part remade exactly right as i didnt want it to affect the alignment of the car. So i thought i would cut a section out of the original a piece at a time and tack them in and see how i got on. It took alot of time but i neded up remaking almost all of it including the toe adjustment slider.

another side tacked on

here you can see the old toe adjust slider and the new one ive made ready to tack onto the back of the new piece i made.

and almost finished. You can see the toe adjust slider part inside the part now.

It was alot of work but ive offered it up to the car and it should fit good. Theres further cutting fabricating and welding to do first though. Then when this side is done ive the other side to tackle but i dont think that should take as much work... Hopefully.

Had a sort out in the garage tonight so i could actually get in the kp. So i got a little pic. Really need to get this car done.
