Love it mate!

Limiter* Turn your speakers up and watch this!

Must say, can't beat the sound of a supercharged vtec. Especially on the limited !

It will take up the whole passenger seat! Hahaa jamie

Yeah, quite glad it spun a shell now, would still be rolling round on my ct9 at .7bar if it hadn't lol.. Just picked up the final pieces to the engine, Valve Shims! Time to crack on! Jamie

Random videoo! Lol

Ahh thanks for the advise, the gasket might need a slight trimming then? And what do you mean by tip the valve head? With what? And I'm still going by the standard clearances aren't I with this head? Jamie

Right, well I was hoping to have built the engine by now, but after finding a few seals etc I didnt have, I had to wait for them to come! Here's how she stand; Athena HG and Stage 2 Head fitted (Using ARP Head Bolts) Rocker Cover sprayed (Needs a respray in a different colour! - Sprayed it 'Red' came out orange) Sump nice and fresh! Just waiting now for a few valve shims to turn up as a few were slightly out. Then going to time it up on Saturday! Red or Black for rocker cover?! Just ordered an ACT 6 Paddle Clutch, with thanks to my mum and girlfriend for my birthday! (At least its something that will get used Hahaa) Jamie Jamie

Cheers man, I'll be buying some goodies no doubt! Sweeeeeeet! Looking forwad to trying it out! Jamie

Sweeet, nice looking engine! jamie

Welcome ;) Ill say it how it is, I'd rather have an older Japanese Turbo'd car any day than something n/a and french (Ive been there lol). These are excellent cars in my eyes, and can handle well with the mods. Common problems/faults, I cant say I know of any 'common' faults with them.. Overall, if it's set-up right, they are reliable cars. Jamie

My car spun a shell last month? Nearly built a forged engine for it though! Jamie

Well that sums it up, ACT it is then!

Yo, as title says I'm wondering which clutch you lot would recommend? After my engine is run in etc, I'll be running td04 @ 1.5bar 250+ hp I was swaying toward the 6 Puk ACT.. Jamie

RIP dudee

No worries dude, simple but effective mod! Jamie

Shotgunn!!! Jamie

Sweeet, so much different with the Glanza kit on! If i were you the next jobs would be; Paint around the door/door pillar black (Like the Glanza's) Paint rear drums black (To hide the fact there drums and not disk) Glanza Wings Jamie

Can't believe I couldnt make it, just down the road! Looked a good turn out! Who came out with the top figures? Jamie

So it's not got a 4efte engine in it, or having one put in? Jamie

I was expecting to be rolling down in my Glanza, but now I'm in the shed building a forged engine. Suppose something good came from blowing it up! J

My dayssss, this is like 5mins down the road from me and I've not even there. What am I playing at. Looking forward to seeing the pictures! Jamie

Im game for this! Jamie

Who's is that boosted EG Civic! I'm in love! On the other hand, don't give up! You know you wont! Jamie

Right, haven't updated on here for a while.. Well, over the past few weeks I have been gathering parts and spending all my money. So I'm skint. As I said my crank was fuxked, so I bought a new one of a member on here (Can't remember the username lol), so off we set for a long drive to Kent! Re-Ground crank to .25 mm with ACL Bearings and Thrust washers to suit. In the mean time I had sent my block in for the following; -Re-Bored to suit Wiseco 74.5mm Pistons -Honed -Skimmed -Chemical Wash When we had it back, we painted it up and now with the new crank, set about stating the build. First in was the crank. Followed by the Balanced Pauter Rods and Wiseco 74.5mm pistons. This is as far as we could as we were waiting for parts. Then a delivery arrived for me when I got home from work ;) When taking the engine out, we found the head had cracked around one of the manifold studs. Sooo, yep the stud fell on the floor when we took the manifold off :/ On the positive side, I've bought a Ported and Polished head off of Steve GT!! Just got it back from the engineers today after having it skimmed, will post pictures when its all cleaned up and painted! Jamie
