    As you can see from video when i first turn car over and push the gas my revs are dropping then picking up. Any clues whats up, maby its the same issue thats causing it to drop bellow idle when slowing down and dipping the clutch.

    Got it booked into garage end of the month to get it checked out.

    But if anyone has any suggestions that would be great.

  10. Does anyone have access to a CNC machine and/or a drill press?

    Haha its the way my graphics work i tell it a rough piece of material thats why the stocks bigger than the finished piece. And from a top view when showing you the 5mm holes into the 2mm i cant get the machine to show a smaller diameter under a bigger top 1. The way i will be machining it is, grip in a vice machine it upside down turn it round gripping on the 20mm side then flash across face then put in the through holes. Was just a rough graphics i was trying to show :)

    Interesting that you prefer imperial, is that because you're old or just dont like metric? I guess that the mill can be set to/programmed in either?

    I am bi-unit and can switch from one to the other quite happily, partly because my dad always worked in imperial and taught me the differences aged 8 or so. It helps that a lot of our equipment at work was designed last century and knowing the common conversions is very useful :)

    Been a cnc machinist now for 8 years and worked for 3 different companys and all my drawings i work with are imperial i get the odd drawing in metric and it just gets converted straight away. But yeh the machine when starting a new programme asks weather i want to programme in mms or inches but all the inspection equipment we have is all imperial also.

    Most drills and all tools i use are all metric so i can convert also of sizes off the top of my head or the good old × or ÷ by 25.4 works it out easily. But dont listen to ross im nae an auld man haha am only 24.

    Right need some help. When my cars cold and im driving its fine but when i put the clutch in the revs drop below idle like its about too cut out. From owning the car its cut out twice while driving the car first thing on a cold morning. Once cars up to temp though the idle point sits fine when i dip the clutch?

    Also first thing when i start the car up if i push the accelator the revs dip bellow idle then it revs. This only happens for about 10 seconds then its fine.

    My first honda so am pretty clueless and this is why i stayed away from old cars for soo long haha.

    Any help in things i should look at first would be great.

    Looked pretty solid driving jardo. How are you finding your new seats and where did u get them from if u dont mind me asking.

    I put the order in for my cage today should be here im 2 weeks. But im looking at getting a new seat to mount my harness correctly. Remember seeing you got yours for £300 was it which would do me nicly for the time being.

    Anyways home from work today today with a letter through the door saying package was sitting at a neighbours and tadaa harness had arrived courtesy of demon tweeks.
