so time for an update.... finally after many months of being to lazy to do anything, i got my engine put in the gt. the gearbox and clutch etc was fitted then it was lowered into the car. it went in really quick and i never came across any problems. these cars are so easy to work on :) so anyway, some pics.

i decided i would paint my front cross bar, as it was starting to go slightly rusty with the bolts, so i sanded it down and gave it a few coats. it really improves the look overall, especially since the rest of the bay has been polished underneath all that dust haha.

once all that was sorted i got my hands on a civic half rad and slimline fan, so i got that fitted up along with my purple roose motorsport hoses. im still waiting on a rad fitting kit from id workz, but its on it way.

decided to do a dummy run of fitting my turbo kit to make sure i wouldnt run into any problems. turns out a bit of the compressor housing that the actuator bolts onto was hitting the bonnet, so i got that shaved down and now it fits perfect. the 5-0 will get a pleasant surprise when they open the bonnet lol

I also finally got round to fitting my rear arb, havent fitted the front one yet but ill get it done this weekend.

exhaust wise since I've had the car I've had 3 seperate systems and the car hasnt been on the road yet. anyway in the end after seeing a few photos i decided to go for a zisco buddy club style system, but i asked keith to make it in 2.85in. i could not be happier with how this looks on my car...has the perfect angle and its exactly what i pictured in my head. i will let the pics do the talking.

as you can see it looks awesome, at the same i ordered the exhaust i got a high flow fuel rail and a braided fuel line, top quality work from the boys at zisco.

and now for the final part of this update, the guy i bought my current shell, ecu etc off of a while back still had a load of gauges and a boost controller he had after he broke his gt, so i gave him a shout and he still had them. so i will be picking them up in a couple months once i pay for them as they arnt cheap...

5 defi gauges with all wiring and sensors

oil temp

oil pressure

boost

water temp

exhaust gas temp

he also had a aem wideband so i took that off his hands aswell

He also had a brand new apexi avcr black edition so im taking that aswell...dont have any pics yet but im sure you all know what they look like. while i was at it i got 2 pretty much new square headlamps and clear indicators...very happy i managed to get all of the above...pretty handy he just stays 40 miles along the road from me.

good work mate..

you got same parts as me from the zisco crew, they are awesome manifolds(mine not cracked and its been thrashed at 1.6bar)

the exhaust I got the original style when keith first did them, but if mines anything to go by on boost its such a nice sound..

plenum will be good to matey, make sure you get Intercooler piping same size as throttle body.(you be surprised how much better she is top end).

what turbo will you be running?
