Thanks Fella, shame you have them laws over there

Been gearing up for the Turbo fit, bought boost guage> Micro digital.

Water tap T-pieces




Luckily I hadnt bought the oil line yet as there some bad news..but kind of a blessing in disguise. On further inspection of the IHI turbo I discovered a crack that went right through the exhuast housing into the penny valve area! Nigh on impossible to get another VJ series tubby in the UK and I bought off ebayUS a few years ago now so I got no comeback (should of checked it over when I first got it!)so Im currently working on an adaptor block to take a Garrett T25, which later on I can hybrid upto a T28 using a T3 I believe.

ah fair enough, I like your car wish i could go lower here in NZ

[Teknomaz]

It is the right Size for the turbo fits the gap perfect and I got it for free when I bought the manifold

[Evilist]

what made you choose the B6T intercooler??

[Teknomaz]

The Wifes been quite busy with a new venture so I've had lots of spare time lately to play
with my turbo setup, still lots of things to do and buy for this but I'm well pleased with the way
its playing out.











Sorted out most of the connections including water tap T pieces and oil connections.

Cheers for the comments Chaps

Well tbh it could be a while if I want some 3pc wheels, which I really do... I look everyday for second hand sets and have pchopped many a wheel on there. Im pretty much sold on someting with a gold centre, its just the car really could do with a lick of red paint first as its fading badly in places and if I wanna fit the Turbo I got to purchase the clutch aswell..

Lies I tell thee I have changed my mind, paint & Turbo going have to wait!
I have decided on these Image wheels, I figure just a few bad reps on the internet I can handle. I mean they make wheels for race cars!
Couple of months time I'm going to order just 2 wheels as that's all I will be able to afford for now
16x8J 0ET (195/45/16) upfront I think is what I'm after with just a whiff of negative camenbert, then maybe a 9J for the rear with a hint more and maybe a 205/45/16 not sure yet.
These are what Im shooting for:

Hhhm He probably doesn't understand what sarcasm is! hence no reply...

Trash eh yes granted alot of them got badly pimped (mainly due to Canadians I might add) but I know of quite a few really good ones nowadays especially the 290bhp V6 Turbo on SSR's and a great mazdaspeed kit to boot thats a real vtech killer! with more class than any old 'ondah

You got to try new things otherwise you don't know if there going to work on not, would you prefer I follow the crowd and just get busy with the sticky bombin,roofracks or ridiculous camber eh?!

Right back to worklog , been to wreckers and nabbed a rear wiper arm off a Ford mondeo as it's alot straighter and sits the blade a bit further down.

Nah bro..too much goin on with this car...and i love mx6 and mx3's and NOBODY has ever done one right. besides 1 person with a white mx6 and had red 002's on it...as far as mx3's all of em were trash..

Good advice friendo.

and I've never seen an EF civic modded with poor taste, so that must make you an expert!

Especially one with vtech!

Pinstripealicius> I really like them, a few of buddies don't get it though!

Soz for bumping with another update but this happened yesterday! So who's old enough to remember when these were all the rage?!
Have started work on a hack job single wiper conversion, this is a spare motor arm I got today and by extending it 10mm I'm hoping to get more sweep on the middle wiper. Not quite sure its going to work yet, will get this welded up and have a play at some point.



Made one of these before for my 205 but a slightly different method, failed the MOT once with it before as it used to park up the middle, wont do that again,lol

EDIT> Got our welder on this this morning, if only He spoke English He wouldnt of welded it on the wrong way round so I had to cut it again and turn it round and get him to do it again,lol It frikin works though! fitted it up in the gale we are having down here this afternoon shitting myself the bonnet was going to blow down on my fingers! No guts no glory as they say :cheers:
