Not a lot to look at really, check you've got power to the coil and check inside the dizzy, if its original it will be points so it would be worth checking the gap / replacing those. Check its got some nice fresh fuel (mine barely runs on fuel more than few months old), put some half decent 20/50 mineral oil in it and give it a crank over and see what happens.

Is one of the callipers sticking and returning very slowly?

As you say from memory they had the lip machined off and were held in with a circlip. I can't help on size but i'd suggest you get the longest one available. You should be able to measure the shell size.

Hummm crusty
whats the rest of the car like close up?

I think the death sentence for most is rot. Mine was pretty scabby towards the end. I made fairly decent money breaking it though, a good chunk of the parts went abroad.
A working transtop is really cool for its age:

I think there was a NODIZ group buy on TMF when it first came out. Why all the haters on turbominis? Gotta be better than all the wanky old EDIS stuff with mega jolt.

Just buy a new wiring loom and get it on the road Tom. Can’t be any worse than the yank tank.
I finally got mine back together this weekend (new rear subframe) but it needs the engine ripping out next winter for a tidy up and all the leaks fixing.
I also bought IMM tickets for Bristol this year

@Tom Booth new stuff is massive mish mash. I bought a new servo master and the fittings are metric, its kind of scary too because UNF fittings screw into metric fine and tighten up but are baggy. I suggest having a handful of each and using whatever fits best.

I’ve somewhat unsurprisingly bought yet another Civic.
Absolute gem. Sub 25k Miles, has done less than 3k miles in 13 years. Garaged all its life. Utterly mint and completely original.
Too embarrassed to drive it in that colour?

No video?

That looks epic, shame you can't drive it like that without the front wings.
I think i've asked this before but remind me again, how come you are rebuilding all the suspension? Whats the standard setup look like and how have you improved it?

Awesome as ever. Loved all the classic footage from the early 2000s when this site first got going.

New boi is on the right and he's great. Pic taken from Instagram. Really happy with the purchase. Does 330nm release torque
I really need to get a rattle gun. I’m in the makita eco system battery wise. I think they do a stubby one similar.

Did you get a deal on the box? It’s similar to mine (I think mine is the hd plus).
Halfords have a pretty good deal on today (£479)

I was disappointed they spent so long talking through the wiring stuff (that they pretty much covered last time out) and then just fast forwarded through all that lovely design, turning, machining etc. It would've been good to hear what they were trying to acheive and then how they were going to do it rather than just showing sped up footage of making the final thing with pretty much no explaination. Awesome stuff though.
There’s going to be another episode dedicated to the machining in a few weeks they said on patreon.
They also messed up the settings on the last video and gave it to everyone for free.

I'd make some progress on a car if I was getting paid £5k per episode on Patreon too...
I hope it’s more than that for their sake. They are doing it full time now.
9 minutes ago, Danny said:Hi gang, We hope you enjoyed episode 20! I have a confession; I royally screwed up the patron post. Patreon changed the UI over the last month and I got slightly confused with the new look. The end result is that no-one has been charged for episode 20. This puts us in a difficult position; your generosity is the reason we're cranking the episodes out a bit quicker now as we're both full time on BOM. However, we're not getting paid this month because of my mistake. We are committed to bringing out a machining video in a week or two so our thinking is that we could use that as a paid post. We're also hoping to bring out episode 21 at the end of the month. This means that you'd effectively be charged for two videos at the beginning of December. If you need to amend your pledge, you've got till 30th November to do so. We're really sorry about this - you can imagine what the effect is to us - we hope you'll understand and help us out. Thanks as always for your support! Cheers, Richard.

But they'll be able to see the accident on the insurance database jobbie when they carry out the CUE check. It should then come back as a non-fault accident or 'driver hit from behind' at least so you can argue it then... Agree that any claim, whether fault or not, will impact your premium but you'd like to think that a non-fault is less of an 'added risk' than an at-fault one...
I’ve had 2 non fault claims (one of which my car was parked) and both have affected my premium (and the wife’s).

Electric Motor Oil Leak

Are you sure it should actually be oil and its not just old grease thats turned to liquid?
If its a brushed motor then running it covered in oil probably isn't the best idea as its fairly flammable.
Give it a good blast with some brake cleaner / contact cleaner.
