funny onion Posted April 22, 2012 Author Share Posted April 22, 2012 got a few things done today. finally got the new fuel filter on. got the longer oil feed for the turbo on (not a lot in it tbh) and got the civic rad fitted did a few wee nips and tucks in the engine bay and got rid of a few bits that i don't need and overall it looks a bit tidier recaro is going in tomorrow too want to get her back on the rollers to see what she's pulling now. at a rough guess i'd say i think it's between 175bhp and 200bhp. somewhere in that region i think. would like to up the boost to a bar also Quote Link to post Share on other sites

funny onion Posted April 23, 2012 Author Share Posted April 23, 2012 Haha cheers guys Do you want a list Matt? Not pointed out by Sam in his glorius build thread but I bought the td04 oil feed, bottom rad hose, he's got my bonnet, brake discs and pads... But he's a sweetheart and has helped me no end with mine, and I'm going on his insurance (we've not discussed this yet, but it's happening ;) ) haha. You wouldn't believe the piles of spare bits and turbos and stuff we've get piled up. Actually could build another one! And no I won't be at japfest, I'm working pea season (lol) so I'm working and sleeping for 10weeks starting in June. Then mines off for management and map on a td04 . Sam might be there in his though Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Lol. It seems true as well. Stick a TD04 build etc up and peeps jizz all over it. (going TD04 in a few weeks...lols)Bloody iphone lolYeah I know, unless it's got a td04 or it's a "track slag" nobody cares. The "track slags" make me laugh the most, a lot have them are just crs with stripped out rears :/. Nobody believes me when I try and tell them how well mine goes. Sick I trying to convince people that's it's pretty nippy. It will hopefully see a few quarter miles locally by the end of the year so see what times she gets before and after going td04 Edited April 23, 2012 by funny onion Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Flaminsam Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 Hell yea loads of stuff done to the starlet this weekend. Can't wait to get mine sorted ASAP! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
funny onion Posted April 23, 2012 Author Share Posted April 23, 2012 what recaro seat is that, it's awesome!It's an Evo 4 recaro seat Quote Link to post Share on other sites
aaddzz123 Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 Looking good miss! I really like the cut out grille too Would have to keep it all nice and shiney behind there though and I don't think I could keep up the maintainance hah!How are you going about fitting the recaro? Have you got a custom mount or are you going to make one? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Have you got a custom mount or are you going to make one?Welding some feet to an Almera rail? Not entirely sure, Sam just took over on that one, I was gonna go get some rails from scrapyard an massacre those instead Quote Link to post Share on other sites
aaddzz123 Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 Haha! Good old Sam with his mechanical theories. "Stick some feet on the almera rail love, jobs a good en". I have faith . If it were me I'd take the rails off the standard seat and see if they match up anywhere on the recaro? Might strike lucky... never know. If not, could just weld it on lol. Easier than making a "custom mount" surely Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Amjad Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 Seat looks awesome! I sat in one the other week as I'm looking to buy a set! Been told they're Evo 5's though? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
funny onion Posted April 23, 2012 Author Share Posted April 23, 2012 The recaro base is wider than the standard seat . I have faith, Sam will work it out haha, if have gone about it a different way but I'm sure his is te better way haha. I have a more "bodge it" attitude to stuff like that lol. Amjad I have no idea if I'm honest, a mate has an Evo 4 an they're in that and looks like standard interior but not sure. I love it and can't wait to get it in will put pics of the rail it's on and stuff to hopefully shed some light on how it's been bolted up Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Amjad Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 Awesome keep us updated on how you get it fitted! If I pick them up I want mine to go in my NA then in my GT so they might be a bit of hassle haha Quote Link to post Share on other sites

If I pick them up I want mine to go in my NA then in my GT so they might be a bit of hassle hahaThat does sound like a lot of messing about! So many problems would be solved if 82 and 91 rails were the same . Looks like Sam has pretty much lost interest in this anyways so I'm on my own with trying to sort some rails out to make it fit. Might take a trip to scrapyard in the morning and grab a few different sets of rails. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
pick1 Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 Dead easy to fit as obviously I had itIn mine use your standard rail from your seat and just weld a small plate at the side of the original bolt holes and hay presto drill a hole through the plate so the seat will bolt to the rail and it's in that's how I did it and the same with my omp's saves messing round with new rails etc took half an hour with a tape measure a welder and a drill 😜 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
