She wasnt running, wouldnt start and water was pouring out the back of the water pump when you filled up the rad..... not good!!!The engine bay was a complete state aswell so we decided to whip the engine out the day after i brought her so she could have a good clean up... i really dont dig dirty bays lol..eeeeeeughhhh dirrtyyyyyyyyyyy lol Then gave the whole lot a clean up and started getting it all back in and back together the day after...And what they bay looked like afterwards ( before a proper clean and before the manifold had been rewelded )During this time i had started stripping her out and fitted my c's short shifter... ( will get a shot of how stripped she is now soon )And a cheeky little shot of her in the workshop at work.... Then after all this was done we went and did a little photoshoot afterwards....and one with robs friends civic.... Quote
Galliano Posted August 17, 2010 Posted August 17, 2010 Amazing build... I see nothing of specs or pictures Quote

Liam_D Posted August 17, 2010 Posted August 17, 2010 Seen this at Japfest on Sunday, looks nice mate. And looking forward to some future updates!! Quote
Si@Fiske Posted August 17, 2010 Author Posted August 17, 2010 Thanks for the kind words guys She is abit funky lol.. i was toying with the idea of getting her painted deep purple as it does really need spraying.. but i think i kinda have to keep the oem colours Quote
Scott-EP Posted August 17, 2010 Posted August 17, 2010 Looks sweet mate! Really liking the colour, Engine bay looks good aswel,Is the Cam Belt cover in your picture powder coated of something ?? Quote
steed Posted August 17, 2010 Posted August 17, 2010 awesome looking machine and impressive beginnings of a spec list there. Quote
Si@Fiske Posted August 17, 2010 Author Posted August 17, 2010 Update : So when i brought the car, the collector had dropped off the manifold..... bad times.. so it was in two pieces.I took it into work and got one of the guys to get his "racing pidgeon" out and sew it back together haha!! And then fitted it the friday before Japfest 2...and gave her a quick clean after....... and added my lovelyyy 2x option & zep stickers Quote
