Hayce molests a civic - Two pics of the recovery

[Hayce]

Got it from Adam, not sure but I think it was autogauge.

no worries, you know where it is

[Mortarion]

Matt the bloody scrounging maori!

Can you tell he's from Whangarei?!

[BTLF3D]

this is getting like HT, needs less spam and more updates??

[Hayce]

Haha sure enough! Even when I'm on bloody holiday I get no time for the car or sleep. Between the baby and my fucking dero neighbour!
OT: Woke this morning at about 3am to a bunch of hoaries (i'm not racist, well maybe I am but these munters are filth) ouside screaming "drop the bottle, and I'll go you like we did in the old school". Didn't know wether to laugh, cry or get my own bottle lmao.

I've said it before (more times than I'd like to admit) but an AVCR should be with me soon which is the last thing I need.

I had planned on getting the fastbrakes.com wilwood 6 pot kit but the ex rate is a bit too nasty, so I spoke to a local shop who is going to get the callipers for me and probably some disks and I'll get the brackets from fast brakes.

Then its wheels then tune then... rebuild?

Heres a pretty award winning pic so I don't get banned rom teh build section





Boobs on the roof, done.

[Bananaman]

Thats friggin sweeet dude. Hope your seats recline enough. LOL

Good luck with finding time to work on the car. I am about 3 weeks out from having the house finished and freeing up some time.

[Cheeky Kiwi]

Boobies have mere mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm!

[Glassjaw]

I musta missed a few pages.... when was the rear glass re-installed??
Or is that my eyes playing tricks on me again??

[Hayce]

Just sitting there Slinky. Been waiting to get the liner back in before I had the glass man come around.

[aau451]

mean roof lining !!

[Hayce]

^ thanks... I think, the sarcastic smiley threw me.

More line arrived so I made up the fuel lines and the turbo coolant feed. I've fitted them, just need a separator for the fuel lines to keep em tidy and an adel clamp or two for the feed. I'll get some pics of them installed when I get those bits.

Next month will see a 3" mandrel system, breather can and coolant res from Mike @ sinco



long one is coolant feed, short one is fuel feed & the other is fuel return.

Getting there with the plumbing, nearly done, remaining is: -10 oil return, oil feed (have more than enough here but I'd like to see if I can use something else), -10 breather and -6 coolant res.

[doo0T!doo0T!]

Lookin good, the boobs crack me up your a legend.

I know your pain with the hoary neighbours, i live next to what could only be described as a Pah site, it's the arsehole of the neighbourhood, domestic violence central.
Every 2nd thursday is a once were warriors gang patch fiesta with big-botts and all.
I was highly surprised to find my stuff was still in my house when I got back from holiday.

[Hayce]

^ haha guess that's the only up shot huh, they usually don't shit in their own back yard...


On another note, I just went to order this until the car added USD$50 for shipping if anyone knows a local place that has them lmk.

[Bananaman]

I thought the boobs would go the other way around. Now everytime you look up they are going to be back to front.

Looking good either way.

Could probably have one made quite cheaply? Doesn't look to be too fancy.

[Hayce]

I emailed them asking can they not just bubble wrap + envelope, just replied saying yep so it'll cost me $2 instead of $50 odd.

Could get it made, your right it's not that most elaborate part ever conceived but I don't know anyone that could make it for me + $50 kiwi is pretty cheap... besides me getting people to do stuff on the car doesn't always seem to work out too good

You have a point Brian, meh boobs are boobs I'll take 'em any way I can get up side down, right side up, leaking it's all good

[Logger]

Yes I think you've had enough shit luck to last a lifetime

[gtref]

I

lol

[turbozxi]

Where are you buying that black braid from? Its quite cheap from alert motorsports they also have the non aero quip fittings which aren't so much $$$$$$$$$$ but will do the job for catch cans and the like, can still be used for fuel etc.

[Hayce]

The black braid is coming from Dan @ racepartsolutions.com. All the fittings are speedflow that I get locally. This is probably going to sound asinine but I won't change from speedflow as the colours of the other fittings are slightly different, I bought some other brand once but took them back.

I know I could use barbs in places, the oil drain for example (in fact the sump is already fitted with a barb) but they will always leak eventually so I'm just going to flag it and use the AN stuff.

[turbozxi]

Haha crazy man, check them out anyway if your paying more then $20 a metre for the braid. There in auckland.

[Hayce]

Don't have much to update but I'm bored, sick of working and I'm beer less (well I will be at the end of this)...


I've pulled this car into a million pieces and put it back together (for the most part haha) and I can tell you with my hand on my heart that nothing was harder to do to date than put the damn rear view mirror back up.

But I give you:



And all it took was my new best friend:




I got so sick of fighting with it I attacked the bastard, Lance wins ...just. Not very exciting but per mm of sweat it was a costly job.


Clearer head liner pic:



Fuel lines:




You can see why I need the hose separator to tidy them up. There's a bit of excess slack there and it has to take a turn off the reg. With a separator they will come together.
I'm thinking about changing the filter a little bit. Instead of being mounted to the rigid fittings I might mount it 'mid stream' in the line so it has flex either side.



Coolant feed for turbo:




^ shows that an adel (sp?) clamp is needed off the pump there to secure/guide the line a bit. Will need one further up to.



How the pig sits at the moment:


All the way down on pro c's. Yea draggin arse a little



And the bay as it is with the small changes:




In a couple weeks Mike (Sinco customs) is going to make a 3" mandrel exhaust system. Mild steel, no fancy stainless. They sound mud and it will get beat to shit.
Also he will be removing the top mount for the radiator, adding an AN male fitting for the overflow, making and alloy overflow can and last but not least he'll be making an alloy catch can.
Not too sure how or where the catch can is going to go yet.


Some other stuff that has been floating around the forum but never made it here is the work wheel fitment that 'Mr X' kindly let me borrow. Since I still have some beer here, here we go:












Last few mouth fulls...

My other 'builds' are going good:


^ Phase one.


And for the fathers:




Beer gone, back to work
