Flynn Posted January 10, 2016 Share Posted January 10, 2016 Well.........is she done?? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Johnny Posted January 11, 2016 Author Share Posted January 11, 2016 Got the Car taken to the Garage on sat, hopefully be ready later this week. He did say could be ready today, but i doubt it. Will pop down to see it later, as going to Drop down my triple core Rad with my custom made Mishimoto powdercoated Black Ally Surround.Sadly, I couldnt afford a Mishimoto Radiator Fan at the moment. Hopefully will get a nice new blue one I used EP (Trader on here) Brackets, but found the rubber grommet Shit/Slack. So purchased some more, the difference is around 2mm, and a real tight fit.I could have easily just made some, but couldnt be bothered. Cant wait to get her back on the Road. And then can put some new wheels on it. Plus that Zisco system should sound awesome!!!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Johnny Posted January 12, 2016 Author Share Posted January 12, 2016 Engine is out, and my new engine has the new kit all prepped up ready to go. The WEPR craftsmanship is truly perfect. I am a sucker for a TIDY engine bay, bit of OCD I think. Will be putting my old Turbo kit up for sell,....... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Johnny Posted January 29, 2016 Author Share Posted January 29, 2016 Bit of an Update on this:- Fitted the engine and turbo back into the car. But had an issue with the WEPR screamer from the kit fouling on the Bottom Rad hose from the Triple Civic Rad. Cutting the screamer wasnt an Option, so decided to modify the Radiator. Good Job its Ally. I cut off the bottom outlet, and made a blanking plate for it. I then carefully fettled the new position of the outlet hose on the other side. I have a friend that does Ally Welding so gave it to him to weld up. Perfect Job. Now the Radiator fitted, time to put on the Intercooler and setup the boost pipes. And also had my Zisco Pro exhaust fitted. Should sound good,.......... Still sorting out a boost leak atm, and then will be driving her about. Be a new car, everything replaced,...........TIDY!

Johnny Posted January 30, 2016 Author Share Posted January 30, 2016 looking gooood Thanks mate, its getting there. Great work. How much did the wepr kit set u back? Think I paid £1500 for the full kit with a TD04 Hybrid. Swapped the Hybrid and cash for the Engine, as was short on funds. Trying to sell my old kit now to free up some funds. Good work mate, I'll keep my eyes pealed! Nearly there mate. Give it a early next week will be back on the road. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Johnny Posted March 3, 2016 Author Share Posted March 3, 2016 So time for an Update. Got some Rubber fitted to my wheels. Toyo T1R's. Purple ones went on the Mx5. Turned out the TD04 turbo i wanted to put on was fucked. Damage to the exhaust shaft. wasnt like that when i fitted it, but whatever! lol Sourced another TD04 on ebay, think cost me £95. Got it all fitted, and now boosts! Pretty Awesome, and the Zisco Pro exhaust sounds fantastic. Couple more little bits to do now to tidy it all up. Polished my old exhaust up, found out it was a Trust/Greddy exhaust, So a nice JDM spare. Thinking of mounting an oil cooler Top mount aswel. Purely to make use of the bonnet scoop, and its something different.Prob will edit the existing standard OEM TMIC brackets to fit an oil cooler on that. Prepped up a Rocker cover with 10AN fittings. Will get it Welded up and Sprayed soon. Gave her a quick polish with the old wheels on. Changed the wheels over, and this is how she looks now Thats my scooby in the background aswel. Kept Standard.I just love ODD wheels. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
