unloaded it off the trailer and the clutch was gone man..
last time my best et was a 13.87 at around 160kph
Well, it's been a fair while. Debt all paid off (for how long.... ?) Now the car has a new home at work which makes things far easier to do. So goals for summer are to get the interior wiring sorted. I've decided to get pro's at AES Electrix to sort wiring out, leaving me with only essentials. All the ABS, sunroof, cruise control the whole kitchen sink is still in there from the Prelude. While wiring is being carried out I decided next best upgrade is ECU so am waiting for an S300 to arrive from the states.
I have a custom castor arm being made up at WeCan engineering (same place that made the axles). Reason being I want a larger kink placed properly in line with the crank pulley to give it proper clearance. So finally I might be able to get her a little lower especially in the front. Have researched the custom arm and spoken to certifiers and found that it will not need to be re certified as long as the arm has exactly the same dimensions and mounting points.
Have the collector off of the car and have the sump out, will be posting pics on welding the baffle plate in, should get these up by next weekend. Bumper is off being painted, secret colour scheme for now, don't think many on here will like it but will see
And now for a couple of pics - Interior wiring, oh and planning to put half an EF dash back in there, Prelude dash was cool and all but my knees taking a caning on it being 6ft5"
Much easier to get stuck in with jobs, all the tools you need...
damm man sweet ef
....... FINALLY haha
Cheers. Yeah I know Ash, cobwebs for africa...
Yayyy. Keep updates coming! Sounds like you have heaps to do.
Will have to watch this one
Right - got the sump baffle welded in after work tonight. Yes the welds are not pretty at all, im a learner, and two different thicknesses of metal made it tricky to move the heat around evenly. The last thing I wanted to do was blow a great hole in the sumpBut hey, they'll hold and I did them myself so I'm stoked. Oh and I should add that Ive had this plate for almost a year and a half.... They always just sit around.. lol

Right another update as requested. Yesss! Custom castor arm is ready and has been picked up *cheers loudly* heres a few pics of it
Against existing arm - you can see the bend is started earlier and angles down further than the existing kink
Coated in etch primer
Top coat of black
Installation pics to come tomorrow when its completely dry.
Ok, I got the sump back in today but no point posting pics of that. Stripped the manifold off to remove old heatwrap and found this...
Exhaust leak
What had happened was the nut had bottomed out too far on the stud, basically only allowing 3 threads to grip the head. F*cking the threads and leaving it loose as a goose
Thought it would be saveable and it was. Tapped the threads with 8mm 1.25 pitch
Tightened new stud in with a stud extractor
Voila
Quite cool to fix your own stuff like that on the cheap. Other things done today not worth posting pics on are: removed both wing mirrors for painting, removed spoiler for painting and cleaned up exhaust system surfaces. Oh and found an ECU suitable for Hondata chipping. Just have to bridge resistors to convert to manual.
Cheers, Jared
looking good

top job fixing the exhaust stud. i usually ignore that when it happens
Cheers guys, yeah I guess more point in doing it when you have everything apart.
Gah, quite unmotivated after last night to say the least. But forced myself in to install the arm. Fair bit more clearance but will see what happens under cornering, the engineers said they would take it back and re-do it if it still hits. Re-assuring, which you'd want after spending decent coin on it.
Sweet, got a bit done yesterday. And solved the speedo cable issue I thought Id run into with going back to EF dash. I went to parts world and scored a EF dash, speedo cable and a few other bits for $50.
Test fit of dash
H Series Vehicle speed sensor
With electronic sensor removed
Custom made bracket and D-series cable speedo attached
Oh and I re-wrapped my headers in black this time (arms have finally stopped itching)
progres bro, be weird with the ef dash in it after the prelude 1 was in there, chuur
GIRLS ARE LIKE WASTEGATES THEY ONLY SCREAM WHEN YOU THRASH THEM.
Progress bro.. yeah I reckon, gives it a different feel. Way more clearance for my knees thankfully
More progress pics, may as well put them up it keeps me motivated and I get way more done this way
Exhaust fully fitted with fresh gaskets, found 3 leaks while it was apart....
Front bumper and lip painted satin black
You should re-route the altanator wires bro while you at it lol, just another job tho aye. looking good tho
GIRLS ARE LIKE WASTEGATES THEY ONLY SCREAM WHEN YOU THRASH THEM.
thats a funky looking flange you have there on the headers at the bottom
Yeah have thought of that bro, it is another job tho. There isn't much room for the alt loom on that side of the engine, could hitch it to the cambelt cover? Ideas? Maybe best to do when I get the relocation to A/C position bracket then do at once.
you mean at the join? yeah the whole exhaust system is a concoction thats for sure
Have a look at my build for the alternator wires, Joule routed them underneath and just a simple cable tie to a bracket not used anymore.
