looking good, its starting to come on now.

Nothing is impossible it just costs more and takes longer.

Yes, its good when your making progress and seeing it. Spurs you on to get it finished. Wanted it on the road in 3 weeks for a road trip to skeggy, but realisticly i think that targets gone, hopefully itl be going within the month or not long after.

rick where you get the master cylinder your using for the clutch?

Demontheifs. To be fair to them it arrived next day so that make up a little for the price.

You know those days when you spend ages on the cR and acheive virtually nothing... Well that was today, hating the electrics. Seem to have so many wires left over, i know what they are but its still confusing to connect, on top of that the wiring diagram is just confusing me. Getting closer and closer to buy getting ripped of and gettin an "off the shelf" engine loom...







Thats as far as i got before being bewildered :/

Keep at it dude!

wiring looms are confusing but worth doing :)

Confusing is putting it lightly, be happy when its running sonincan do the easy loom...

Ever wish you never started a job.... Well wiring is going aweful, it just gets more confusing as i go, got some bits done but im on parts now that as mich as i stare it the diagram i just cant sus out



If i dont figure it out tomorrow, im gonna dig into the savings ring minitec and buy a loom.

Sooner its over the sooner i get to play with the new toy.

I know where your coming from. I struggled a bit with mine when i was looking at all the wiring, however it got a bit easier if i broke it down into separate elements

Got the starter cranking, the fuel pupm squiring petrol at me from a worn injector seal (new seals on order) no start but heading in the right direction.

Ive been doin just that gavin, seems stupid how you have the main honda relay running other relays then seperate relays for vtec solenoids , just seems unneceserily complicated lol.

Top bracket:



Bottom bracket (minus rubber)











Its all fits.... Just, tighter than a nuns flange.

Whey nice one glad its coming on well!

hows the wiring going though bet thats a c***

Wirings hit and miss, got fuel and starter, no spark at the moment tho... One of the next jobs.

Yeah man how long you recon?

deffo for mini in the park?

Grrrrr. 2 days looking for my spark, got 12v at the dist on the feed, all sensors are sending about 1v to the dist when cranking, but no spark, plenty of fuel pumping in tho.

Hoping its something simple, the terminals arnt great inside the cap so gonna get a new cap, arm and whilst im there new leads and plugs so i can atleast rule that lot out...

Hating electrics.

I'm in work today so if you pop in ill see if we have them on the shelf I can't promise nout though dude!

forgot to say Hasn't Imobblised its self has it? not allowing it to spark?

Dont think this age engine had imobilisers from what i read.

Fair enough dude! find a cap and arm on ebay?

Got the cap, gotta double check for the arm tho...

It better work, gettin sick of the thing now.

Big hammer? :)

Coils fucked and ignitor is fucked...

Lovely :(

After coning to term that im not going to run the car this weekend i decided to start mounting the nippon:
