  1. It was hot, I know to expect it but usually if you release caps off gradually they relieve themselves though. At the moment the cars running faultless I'm still warey of the hoses but I'm going to try the thermostat first, as that may have failed in a funny position, car doesn't show above 1/4 temp. If it is the headgasket it's not the end of the world but I'm just great full that at the moment I have a perfectly running car lol! Couldn't have survived the last 2-3 weeks without it!!
  2. This piece of shit copped it today! For those who didnt guess it's the last part of the air conditioning that most people leave in, it sits in an air box in the car and two pipes come through the firewall. The finished article I also put a wiring kit through it as I've been missing the presence of bass and got offered a very decent set up for cheap! My bays pretty grubby weathers been nasty last few days, got some bits to do to the bay next week to start sprucing it up. You can see the next victims that I'll be removing from my loom (the untidy disused plugs hanging down), I just ran out of insulation tape before I had the chance to Finnish them!
  3. I'd have to agree a little rich but as we know that's the norm with our cars.
  4. External wastegate if going ewg'd
  5. Gaskets Td04 Manifold and decat to suit td04 Assortment of nuts and bolts Front mount intercooler Oil feed braided hose Water feed (optional) Oil return hose (90 degree rubber bend) Civic radiator and slimline fan (depending on manifold if there's clearance for standard sized rad or not)
  6. Here's a quick list:- - fuel rail adaptor - adjustable Rising rate fuel pressure regulator - fuel hose 2m ish -Fuel cut defender If wanting over .8 boost or Engine management of some kind
  7. Adjust rpm needle accordingly haha. Have you tried looking for vacuum leaks buddy?
  8. Pm me if you need a spare
  9. El_man if you happen to read this check your pms
  10. I have a standard fpr and a fse sytec rising rate adjustable fpr and gauge if your interested, pop me a pm
  11. Paul I left one up my old mans with 3/4's of a block for him to get rid of if he's taken it out for me as he said then you could have it cheap, I'll find out tommorrow!
  12. The gauge suggests there's 1/4 tank of fuel, is this included in the sale?
  13. * facepalm * Nah that's a nice car still, just messing!
  14. Fair play first cars a first car. Matte white would have looked awesome! But it's her car if she wants that that's fine, it's a damn sight better than some of the shit some people doing to there ep91's. Keep at it, do what the fuck you like, make it different. No need to be a sheep now!
  15. Quality engines similar to what you get in generators and jet washes etc. I know Scott and all his cars are kept to a immaculate standard so I'm sure the karts immaculate! Glwts
  16. Aye you stole that from fat phil on fb! Lol
  17. Two screws under the top of the surround, disconnect speedo cable from gearbox, screws around edges of clocks then pull it out unplugging harnesses and speedo cable.
  18. Have a check under your centre console it's a long shot but something may be in the way of the cables or they may have popped out
  19. Looks similar to my old one Very nice system indeed I'd love another!
  20. Jack the car up check bearings bushes and joints for wear tugging the wheels etc check for play, general condition of underside brakes etc. I did this and managed to knock a fair crack off the asking price of mine
  21. Post the spec up and we should be able to tell you a bit of info. Gearbox, synchros go so may crunch going into gears. Box's are cheap so not a biggie! Clutch a lot of people upgrade there set ups and forget the clutch until its slipping, check there's no slipping. Overheating, smell the rad make sure it doesn't smell like fuel make sure rad hoses don't pressurise up hard (signs of headgasket being gone). Any white residue on the oil cap (shows moisture in oil I.e. coolant from blown headgasket) or oil in water. Check mileage, does the speedo work? If not it's not been counting miles since it stopped. Leaks Fuelling system has it been set up if running an Fuel cut defender (allows you to boost over .8 ish without hitting a safety feature called fuel cut) Is it burning oil/water? Rattling from engine, you'll hear a specific tapping noise as injectors on these are pretty noisy easy way to check is putting your ear to a screw driver and putting it onto the rail to see if the noise is coming from them if there is. Noisy clutch release bearin, noisy ringing kinda sound out of gear that goes away after you depress clutch. Accident damage hidden away, try and check behind plastics boot floor for signs. Rust Just off the top of my head
  22. I'd buy the red coolant from any motor factors not sure exactley how much you'll need, probably best off getting 5L as it is handy stuff to have
  23. That's a minter browner, good luck with the sale doubt you need it in that condition! Is that an rsr exhaust by any chance?!
