SamKidney Posted November 24, 2016 Report Share Posted November 24, 2016 Bought a Civic Coupe. DC2 subframe, arms, arb, fully polybushed, manual rack, DC2 big brake set up front and rear. Has been K swapped in the past so makes it plug and play. Nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luke Rainbird Posted November 25, 2016 Report Share Posted November 25, 2016 Looks really smart mate! How's the glass attached to the pistons? Looks like it's just sat there from the photo but assuming it's connected a little more properly than that so guessing there's some adhesive/similar at the interface?

It's held on by its on weight on these gel sticky things. It's on there really solidly.wben you try to move it up moves the pistons on the rods. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SamKidney Posted November 26, 2016 Report Share Posted November 26, 2016 Proper gutted I didnt wait until yesterday to order a good amount of the parts I needed H-Tune had up to 50% off selected items and discounts on everything else online. MEGA savings to be had, but too late now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MartMini Posted November 26, 2016 Report Share Posted November 26, 2016 £66 later.... rear toe bolts.. Also bought (see correct spelling @dann2707 ) a new rear sub frame. £200 from main dealer, which i didn't think was a bad price! Just need to sort all the suspension bushes out, then i can finally start assembling it back together. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete.M Posted November 26, 2016 Report Share Posted November 26, 2016 That's my day well and truly ruined. Went to get fuel before driving out to Wales, checked under the bonnet because the belts were squeeling, turns out the mx-5 has crank pulley wobble. Next step depends on how worn the keyway is. Back to the Volvo... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dann2707 Posted November 26, 2016 Report Share Posted November 26, 2016 Hey guys! Had a productive week/day today! I got a head torch which is frustrating at times as it's not that of a wide angled range haha I got the engine out! All went really smoothly. Took me about 2-3 hours with food breaks and taking it easy which isn't bad for my first go! That was just me by myself too, tomorrow I'm going to remove the loom and make a start with the abs removal and all the pedals as I'm going to be running a pedal box with no servo or abs. Will give it a clean up too as it looks f**king minging! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SamKidney Posted November 26, 2016 Report Share Posted November 26, 2016 Nice one Dan! Always a good feeling getting a major job sorted. No coupe for me this weekend, couldnt get hold of the Transit to go pick it up. Might make the trip through the week coming so fingers crossed, I can make some proper progress and get this engine running! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jolfa Posted November 28, 2016 Report Share Posted November 28, 2016 Civic turd cleaned up pretty nice again, put it in for an MOT equiv, had a hole in the exhaust, a brake light bulb out and needed one tyre. Donated a 6 pack for a part worn tyre at the tyre shop across the road from work, got some Knead It (good shit, can fix anything with it!) for free from work because damaged packaging and the bulb was $1, I did however splash out a bit and spent about about £30 on 2 close enough coloured rattle cans to cover up some of the shitty scratches and laquer peel, a car wash and the petrol station hoover. The result - Stands me at $300, already got 5-6 people interested at $1650 Having driven it a bit, aside from the fact it feels like the f**king thing might roll over if you take a corner with any kind of gusto I can imagine one with sorted suspension and a bit of poke being pretty good fun! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SamKidney Posted November 28, 2016 Report Share Posted November 28, 2016 They are very roll happy as standard haha. They're like go karts when sorted though, brilliant fun to drive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
