Steve GT Posted April 8, 2011 Author Share Posted April 8, 2011 shame my engine aint come was really hoping to have her running this weekend Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Steve GT Posted April 8, 2011 Author Share Posted April 8, 2011 Well while im bored waiting for my engine to come decided to get the sound deadening patch out the spare wheel wellTook ages still got a few little bits to do but the main bits out. Little advice to anyone trying it. simple hammer and screwdriver its easy. just got to persist with it. As you can see its pretty manky in the back so its getting sanded down and resprayed soon hopefully going to prep it ready tomorrow Also decided to do some stickering up too heres the results Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Steve GT Posted April 13, 2011 Author Share Posted April 13, 2011 Well still no engine going to give it till the end of today if no sign im ringing up cause its been well more than 10 days now First Job I've been doing is giving the back a good clean, sand down and 4 layers of hammerite. well worth doing and looks a lot fresherBeforeAfterMuch Much better I've ordered some more grommets to for the holes in the back theres 3 45mm ones and a 27mm one which i removed so new ones should look better as the old ones are a bit tattyAlso ordered a blanking grommet for my rear wiper hole as it doesnt and had never worked since i got it and cant be arsed to find out why so i thought id remove it too Much better and a little bit more weight removed too Also my ACT uprated clutch has just arrived thanks to Ricky Lee Yesterday took the front hubs to a local garage to get the front wheel bearings pressed out and 2 new ones put in shite pic but thought id take one anyway Finially toyota decat/turbo gasket arrived from camskill as the one you get with the exhausts are cheap shit and started blowing like hell as soon as i out it on. always go genuine especially with things like thisPlus toyota rocker cover nuts. waiting for the washers to arrive but they are on hold from Japan and as understandable with things over there at the min there is a delay on them. needed the washers more than the nuts as oils slightly leaking from the rocker cover cause mine are missingMore coming when i get things done Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Steve GT Posted April 13, 2011 Author Share Posted April 13, 2011 Just received thisCivic Rad mounting kitand just gone and bought some flat blade bendy wipers Need to get my 6x9's in as well for a bit better audio quality. not quite sure what to do as not only do i have no parcel shelf but no interior at all in the rear. i was going to board the back out and cut some holes in it for speakers but decided to leave it stripped out. So my new idea is something like this Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Socks Posted April 13, 2011 Share Posted April 13, 2011 they wud look shit with boxes like that...cut holes in the rear quarter plastics imo... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Steve GT Posted April 13, 2011 Author Share Posted April 13, 2011 you wont be able to see them though. little boxes behind the drivers seat and passenger seat in the footwell worth a shot i think. im removing the rear quarter plastics soon so that wont work Quote Link to post Share on other sites
