ryan lang Posted April 30, 2010 Share Posted April 30, 2010 best 4 hours of my life nah it was worth it dude, inspired me, to dream of putting so much work into a car lmaoim hopin to fte mine soon if the jobs start to open up lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Nanglebadger Posted April 30, 2010 Author Share Posted April 30, 2010 well if it provided even a little inspiration then i'm happy man!!! she has taken blood sweat and tears outta me, and the sad thing is, there will always be bits that i want for her, i'll never be satisfied lol.but i couldnt have done it without:1. My brother2. Jay, for keepin me right at all times3. every member of UKSC and TGTT who has helped me along, especially when she got paint strippered, with parts, advice, short notice help, and patience and understanding!and what drives me to keep working is the response i get when i update the thread. right now, i have the old skool (dealer option?? not sure, need to research that) CD changer to wire and fit, Whiteline ALK to fit, and EGT gauge to land from Japland, an HKS actuator to get fitted, and a Pivot Speed reader to have wired in....and that, for me, is the beauty, of a car of this age, u can PHYSICALLY tinker at it, add bits, remove bits, change bits without opening the bay and seeing one giant smoooooooth plastic cover hidin everything! these cars are manipulate-able (is that a word??).Phil.

riko666 Posted April 30, 2010 Share Posted April 30, 2010 Your car is hideously dirty, it makes mine look in Concours condition, and ask Bill, that's reheheheeeeally saying something!Also, looove the "industrial" installation, you're getting in dangerous territory though, almost looks like my installation! Though I used a soldering iron to burn the holes in the dash for the hoses/wires . What did you end up wiring the light into? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ryan lang Posted April 30, 2010 Share Posted April 30, 2010 sounded like you was accepting an award there lmfao, and i know ive seen some of jays stuff and that guys i s a god dam wizard, wish i knew someone like that lmao, and if i was to ask my brother for help he'd stand and watch me do it lmao, the lazy civic drivin git as he is, he put sum coilys on last week and put the front springs on the back and back springs on the front, obvioulsy the front 1s are stiffer to take the extra weight of the engine so i had to swap them back for his dull ass Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Steve GT Posted April 30, 2010 Share Posted April 30, 2010 he's still high on boost haha Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Nanglebadger Posted May 8, 2010 Author Share Posted May 8, 2010 mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm 0.8bar of boost mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmas u can probably tell, a successful day's tuning with Jay was had today! HKS actuator installed and after some adjustments and some delicious fuel cut, Jay found the sweet spot for increased boost without smacking the wall that is fuel cut. Seemed to be not holding very well but after i left Jay to head home it seemed to hold it better and was boosting consistently and only dropping very very slightly from 0.8bar! certainly very noticeable compared to the 0.6 i was gettin.so, 0.8bar is the limit sans FCD, but Jay reckons he has a JAM one with my name on it, so thats the next stage in a few weeks time, see then if the man himself cant push that magic bar figure just a slight touch higher for added grins!also, got an undertray fitted again, so hopefully that'll see the bay a bit cleaner.and also, as my suspension calved at the hands of the DOE and i had stolen some of Marks, I have now obtained a set of TRD front shock/springs and KYB rears from Jay, so hopefully should get those fitted ASAP and then its off to see Paul_GlnzV for a full alignment number. Jay also sent me packing with a stock exhaust mani to try porting, so dremel time awaits!Phil. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bluebear Posted May 8, 2010 Share Posted May 8, 2010 What I want to know is:Did my gift work?!!?!??!?! This is a matter of great importance Phil!

rob_bower Posted May 8, 2010 Share Posted May 8, 2010 Hey Stew! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Nanglebadger Posted May 8, 2010 Author Share Posted May 8, 2010 lol sorry Nick i know i promised, i fail, i'll get on it, i suck.the lead u provided fits yes, i jus havnt had the headunit out yet to see if there is somewhere on the back of it to connect to. it may be like 15yrs old, but its kind funky. what i have realised of course is, with its age, it obviously wont read MP3 cds, which blows, so i'm gonna have to make up 10 audio cds with a whole 15 tracks or whatever on them each just to make it do anything worth while lol. but it should look retro cool!also....robert...stew??? lul!Phil.

Nanglebadger Posted May 9, 2010 Author Share Posted May 9, 2010 i have absolutely no idea what the terry-funk u are waffling about my good sir! not the slightest inkling, must be lost in translation! lol!today....we shall fits the TRDs and KYBs....yar!Phil. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Nanglebadger Posted May 9, 2010 Author Share Posted May 9, 2010 thanks dude, i'll get this suspension thrown on and see about some fresh clean pics of the motor with all the wheels and wheel nuts on together. think its time i looked into a machine polisher too, dont think i'm gettin the best results by hand tbh.she was very enjoyable on the way home man, that 0.8bar is very lively compared to how she was, i have more confidence in her when comin up against some knob-feature in a bigger car lol. as u say, starting to show some promise indeed, been mulling it over, FCD & ported exhaust mani should see her happier still!Phil.

Nanglebadger Posted May 10, 2010 Author Share Posted May 10, 2010 TRD front shocks/spring combo fitted, and thankfully she is now sitting about 1/2 inch to 3/4 inch lower!! praise be to TRD!!!!!!! havnt got to the rears yet, will get along to those during the week...after my Metallica Marathon!Phil.

joel_ep91 Posted May 10, 2010 Share Posted May 10, 2010 should handle a bit better now phil , they will keep you rolling till you get a diffrent setup sorted should go for coilovers best move i ever made handling wise.might have to take a run up to you sometime and get those c spanners tho think i wana put the car lower but if i will look for my bros c spanners first.enjoy metallica dude wish i was going loljoel Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Nanglebadger Posted May 10, 2010 Author Share Posted May 10, 2010 i can meet u at the same place this evening if u want dude to get them back to u?? i have an appointment at 7, so it would be maybe 9.30 or so before i'd be able to get down there, but do-able man. drop me a text sure if u want them tonight.tbh, when we get the kybs on and the whole alignment jigged up, i will most likely run with this set up until it calves. Jay has discovered that the breaks need some relatively urgent attention, but aside from that, i'm on the lookout for a house, and coilover money is something i wont have, so i will make do with the TRDs and KYBs.as for Metallica...its gonna be schweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet, both nites standing tickets, didnt win a meet 'n greet pass for either nite tho after 6yrs membership, twerps!Phil.
