  1. I did Switzerland last year in an ep3 

    not that amazing but was quick enough for some fun. Sounds mental in the mountains and was reliable. Fuel wasn’t to bad not as bad as what you mentioned above they will drink fuel lol. 6th gear all the way til I hit the mountains hahaha!! 

  2. aiden mate you wanna get back in them too you Honda cowboy. I'm just waiting as my bmw keeps deciding to break every time I start it. Still on the look out for one a nice clean starlet

    Haha i just sold my eg civic. I'm not in the position to get another car just yet. I have a 6 month old girl now so it's on hold until we move house ;) it's on the cards though mate.

  3. Cheers dude, I know exactly what you mean. I think people are just ignorant when they say grow up about certain cars

    Will I knew you would want another!!!

    As you know I sold mine years ago I miss it all the time and keep thinking buy another. If u have somewhere to keep it and have it as a second car it's much more sensible as you can have fun on a weekend for a few hours when weathers good. Least u will look forward to driving it more. Where using as a daily would get a bit boring after a while. Go for it dude and come take me out for a spin hahahah

  4. I wasnt trying to put people off. Its an amazing car and i still bought it and never missed a beat such a clean car.

    It had a new bumper , radiator , wing , headlight i had the receipt for it.

  6. Small Update......


    Got my hubs out today to strip down had to use some rust off spray but worked a treat. The bearings are shot so i will have to buy new ones but at least imanaged to get them un seized now i can refurb the calipers & buy some new front and rear discs.


    I have managed to bag me a carbon bonnet for a steal , it is damaged but i have a friend who said it's repairable but tbh if i can get it smooth i will just paint it as i'm not fussed about the carbon look i just wanted lightweight.


    Gonna crack on tomorrow and try get the sound deadening out I've done other little bits but i will keep you lot updated default_smile.png

  8. Spot on. Great engines though c4's I put one in an eg a couple of years ago. On a dyno day it made 2bhp less than an ek9 with all the jap bolt ons but more torque. The c4 only had a edelbrok inlet mani and decat still on the stock eg 1.5 exhaust and air box.

    yeh the only reason for the c4 is eventually i will boost it else i would of gone for the b18c type r engine. With this car being so light and me making it even lighter it should fly :)

  9. Great project. Will you be changing to an injection tank if it was a twin carb? I had a 91 crx I vt years ago with only 27k miles when I got it. It was a minter.

    thanks dude. yeh will buying an injection tank and putting a b18c4 engine in i miss my ef9 and couldn't afford to get another so i went this route instead its little bit cheaper but will be an animal for track days :) great little cars

  10. Over the last few days I've got cracking on the car firstly i started ripping the dash and the looms out forgot how much of a nightmare this job is. Managed to get it all out i have the bolts all over the place so forgot what goes where lol but i'm sure i'll figure out when i get round to it. I've removed one of the fuel lines and i still have to remove the other one when i get underneath the car and today i also removed the sunroof didn't realise how heavy they are default_smile.png all about the weight saving with this car next task will be to undo the engine mounts and drop the engine out and remove all the sound deadening inside the car. Slowly getting there but when i think about it i have so much more to do must keep going default_smile.png



    Enjoy

  11. Looks awesome! Wouldn't mind one of these as a daily, although it'd probably be a worse daily than the glanza haha

    thanks mate yeh these are nice as a daily if not messed around with but this is far from a daily now ahahaha

    This is cool man! Cant wait too see future updates :)

    thanks mate these comments keep me motivated got some more updates i'll post later


  12. So today i was up early again wanted to get a few bits done but ran into a few complications. I couldn't remove the rear bumper as the old screw bolts underneath were solid with rust and had rounded heads so i just left it till i can use my power tools to get them off.


    So i carried on with the interior got the carpet out and some more of the plastics started to look a lot better now and i can see some real progress when i pulled it out the garage just looked so much better and looks like its gunna be a weapon can't wait to get this rest sorted.

  13. Sorry it's been so long but hope everyone had a nice christmas!!



    Update Time *************



    Finally my car is in my garage in the dry got it in there at 10.30 this morning so now it's there i can get cracking. Today i started stripping the interior got most the rear out and the roof lining just need the front seats out and door cards then time for the dash to come out ready for it's new loom. I will get rid of the sound deadening and clean the interior up i only took a few photos as i don't have working lights in there at the minute. And the end of the month i'm going to rip the engine out and get the bay ready for the new engine i don't want this to be a long winded project where i clean every bolt and polish everything i just want the running gear in and the body work will come afterwards. Made good progress being as though it's only the first day but ienjoyed working on my car getting back into it default_smile.png



    I am also going to start a video blog so bare with me as i edit it default_smile.png
