Great thread and the Civic looks great. Almost bought myself an EC9 not long ago, but was thrown off by some rather nasty looking body work from a scrape so left it. and now regretting it to say the least haha, like this shape alot. Did you go to either of the South Mimms meets this year? Been to both and cant say I remember your car.

Cheers dude, I love this shape of civic, I think it's the best sold my b swapped ej9 for it.
I went to the first mimms, but was parked in quite a secluded spot infront of the s2000 gang, so probably got slightly overshadowed. I was near the entrance to the actual services building.

Yo, Been up to no good again messing with gearboxes. I recently curse word my 2nd trying to be a hero involving a BMW and now my box crunches on down shift into 2nd and is struggling to find first when stopped. When i bought the Rover engine i also got the gearbox with the infamous 4.4 final drive in it for the L3 box. So while my box is out of which it isn't, i will diagnose why its crunching and remedy that and install the 4.4 final drive and all the syncros,selectro forks, sliders and syncro hubs from the Rover box. As it has been sitting for 5 years and came from a relatively low mileage car(90k) everything was within factory manufacturing tolerances and no where near the service limits so have alot of life left in them.  However the differential ring gear does have some strange wear(not the 2 oil gooves on the bottom half of the teeth) of which i have been ensured is okay to use, which is good news  All i need to do now is remove my box, but i am bit reluctant to do that with the good weather we have been having recently. But as soon as the box comes out i will get it stripped down, built and back in the car. Enjoy, Lee. |
