what's your economy like?
have to pull much apart to rap the lines?
I could use a little help Bez, I've just got the new igniton installed how much can I advance my timing? I also have a fuel pressure regulator sitting round, would I gain anything from installing it and bumping the pressure?
the amount of timing advance depends on your fuel, not the quality of your ignition.Quote:

very nice, it was good to see the two sedans together! haha turtle dave :wave:
I miss my ek1 sedan after look at yours
It's good! I will have to test it...but I know it's good.I didn't have to pull anything apart to wrap the lines,I just wrapped everything I could see that was fuel but I wrapped a couple of others thinking they were fuel too cause I was a noob then :DQuote:

To gain frome the FPR you really need to be requring fuel to be used,i.e. a bigger set up that demands more fuel and air and then dyno tuned to figure to best pressure to set it at.
I just put mine in and bumped the pressure up from 36psi (stock) to 40-42,even 44psi at one point and you definately notice a bump in power,anyone who has done this will know.But it comes at a price because running too rich for too long caused my 02 sensor and throttle body to foul up.I had lots of very annoying problems that I know were from running too rich for too long.
A lot of the time it just bogged or studdered/hesitated for a bit then took off.Just crap.
I think hang onto it and when your set up requires more fuel,then put it in and get it dyno tuned.
Thanks Jeff!! I love the pics of Dave and I together out there,the 2 EK1 Sedan's!! WOOT WOOT!!

today, in china town in broad day light, around 11am, there was a giant cockroach on the wall teh size ofl iek, half a $5 note.
after looking at your jungle photos it reminded me of that and i imagine how much i wouldnt enjoy being in the jungle lol
Wow Beeza, your two previous cars are like 2 of my favourite childhood cars.
I own a 2 door Torana (if you know of them at all), and have always had my eye on a 2 door escort, throw some twin carbies in those things and they go so well. Ive always wanted a mini too! Will get them both some day!
Great thread mate
HAHA,yeah! I was up the other morning and could hear what I thought was someone hocking up a lougie but also there was a growling sound,off in the bush.I took off up there in the quad and it was a wild pig ripping a tree down! :pQuote:

Well,another sticker has made it onto my car.I'm certainly not a sticker person but after having DOMO on there for a while,I Love the little guy,so I thought,best to give him a friend.
This Kanji symbol is Makoto.It is a very powerful symbol and has many meanings like Loyalty,honesty,faith,sincerity,allegiance,fidelit y etc
The Makoto were Samurai warriors for the Tokugawa government in Japan (1603–1867).The Tokugawa were a good government,a government who were 'For the people' (It did exist!).The Meiji government,or the foreign invasion occoured in 1863.The foreigners came and simply took over.The only ones who went down fighting were The Makoto,the samurai warriors.And fight they did!! For the last 4 years of the Tokugawa,the Makoto fought for Truth.From the bottom of Japan to the top of Japan the streets were teaming with blood from the Makoto's blades.Many times Kondo Isami would have to change his sword because the metal was rusting from the hundreds of men that died from his sword skills.He was a master of many sword styles at a very young age.
Check out the Makoto,some say it's the most important piece of human history because of what it stood for,in terms of human will power,standing up against what is wrong.
When you break/translate the symbol down,it translates as:
Warrior for the Truth OR Warrior for the Light.
I was drawn to this character (it was in an autobacks store :) )when I was in Japan.It was a wonderful experience that solidified who I am.

that is some sexy terrain there my friend.
where did you say this is?
Behind Byron Bay,in the bush!
On Friday we climbed down the bottom of Minyon falls,it's rainforest at the bottom and it's just an awesome site! It's 30 km's from Lismore.
I forgot my camera but I will do it again soon,while I still got my licence,and post pics :)
That is seriously an awesome property you got there, nothing better than the peace and quiet of a good spot of land like that. One day I'm going to have something like that for when I retire.
And it's gonna have a tractor :D
Oh yeah, nice Honda too.
Thanks Troy!
It's not mine though,it's my mates.
No need to work your ass to the bone to own property like this when you can live on a property like this for cheap and the owner loves having you around :)
my gosh, hell awesome read Brett from start to finish :)
Thanks Ryan,thanks mate :D
I vote for a cruise to the property :p
I lost my licence and am back on the goldy Troy..
Sweet, you can ride with me then... Wait whut?

I wanna make one of these - a front splitter for the track:

For my car,for the track :)
http://i570.photobucket.com/albums/s...9/100_1307.jpg
They make a BIG difference.After watching Top gear,they competed in a 24 hour race.After a few hours the front splitter got ripped off and the car handle bad.So at speed on the track I believe they make quite a difference.

Oh man, I know that camera it's the fixed one at the bottom of Sexton's Hill, isn't it? Looks like it anyway, at Banora.
I was just watching some vids of yours on Youtube, mate looks like you have a lot of fun on the track. That spinout would have been pretty fun. Way to go. :thumbsup:
Thanks Troy,yeah that's the one mate.I just spaced out and forgot to slow down.
I have so much fun out the track,can't wait till I can get back out there!
I've come a gutsa a few times now at QR and it's just a ball!!
Should get the accord out there :)
I was there a few years ago for a photo shoot, had an XH series II falcon ute, she was good to me. I don't even remember the forum, I think it was utez.com.au? Anyway we all took off for a spin around the track, near the end of the second lap the brakes were just dead, no pedal feel and the whole front of the ute shaking like anything when I put my foot on the pedal...
So if I take the Accord out on the track, I'm having a major brake service first! :thumbsup:
What with the christmas season and all, it would be a while before I have some spare $$$ to throw into a track day, that's for sure. But I'd definitely love to get it out there one day. :) Oh and also the fact I'm going go karting at Kingston Park on Sunday morning, that's always madness. I definitely can't get enough of the go karts out on the track! But it's an expensive sport and at the moment the money is going out faster than it's coming in, such is life.
Cheers man
Cheers Troy!
I love karting too and have been meaning to get up to QR wednesday night for a bearl :)
Is kingston pk near here (goldy)
haha,brake service ftw! but don't spend anymore money,honestly just get out there! Our Honda's are TUFF as! Japan technology ftw too! hehe
Yes Kingston Park is reasonably close, just out a bit from the main highway at the back of Logan way, so up north a bit. I get the impression you're down south Gold Coast, I'm up north in Oxenford.
If you're bored and lonely on Sunday then come on up, I can get you a ride. If you want to go on the karts I have booked and paid the deposit so we need money upfront. I just wanted to turn up and ride however I think they're pretty busy over the holidays and so she made it a full group booking or something like that, otherwise we'll just miss out, so I need numbers as heaps of mates are going away over the break.
I can see it now "Family Go Kart Championship Battle Overrun by OzHonda" :thumbsup: Nah who cares, the more the merrier I find when we're on the track. As long as I get to beat/race my bro and dad it's all good. If anyone wants to come let me know urgently and I'll see what I can do.
And it's a 15 year old car, just about everything is probably due for a service by now (again) except for the radiator as I just dropped a new one in, and I just had a tyre service - balance, align, nitrogen, vrooooom. :cool:
Thanks Troy,I would Love to come mate but I gots no licence atm...
Yeah I'm south of Surfers :)
I just looked it all up, I don't see anywhere about needing a license to drive, all you gotta do is get to Oxenford and back, have enough to cover the fee (about $73 for two sessions) and I can do the rest for you.
By the way I had a look on the Queensland Raceway website, I can't see when or how much to take my car on, where am I looking? Let me know.
And for goodness sake, all them pictures you uploaded! Every time I load this thread... Just thank goodness I'm not on dial-up anymore!
Ahaha,yeah,I love pics! :)
I'm gonna have to pass this time on the karts,as keen as I am,I've got no funds atm...thanks heaps aye!
Jeff@Trackattack organises the events,just click on track days and register for an event,it's that easy! -
http://www.trackattack.com.au/2010/
Also they do practice sessions @ QR sometimes on a saturday morning.It's great cause U can just stay out there for 4 hours if ya want! (like I did :) )
Ah I see, it looks expensive... plus the fact it'll be my own car I'm driving... But it would be fun.
Gimme a few months to save up and let me know which one we're going to do. ;) I'm keen :honda:
Yeah sounds good Troy! I nwont be ready until april anyways cause no licence :)
It's $120 for the event,then ya need a licence which is $20 for the day or $55 for the year,so with petrol and food it's $220.
Well worth it but.
damn that's cheap its like $190+ for the track here and $50 for the license

Wow, youve certainly done a fair few modifications to this beast. All it needs now is kswap :D
haha,nah,I could do a hell of a lot more with 15k than make my car go faster..it goes fast enough for me.
Both L + R driveshafts are buggered.Where the inner and out part of the driveshafts meets at the CV joint,THAT is buggered,worn out/there's a lot of freeplay.
So both will be replaced wednesday.$165 ea + $120 install = $450.
It makes sense they are rooted cause that's the point where it takes all the punishment.I have been driving my car hard for 4 years.So it took a while really :)
Can't wait to get the new/reconditioned ones in there,I reckon I had a couple of niggling problems that stemed from there.Like a knocking that comes when the auto changes gears.
Will report the changes :)
I am getting the H Brace and Blue Illuminating dails in a week and will post pics.
I've decided to just go to Honda to get the Front LCA bushes put in.They will charge $160-$200.Rip off I know but ya need a special tool..
Going racing at Lakeside for the 1st time Thursday Feb 18 8am.Mixing it up with the mid week crew.Lots of fast cars but more a variance in speed than the weekend crew.
If I have time I wanna make a front splitter beforehand.

So why are your doors always open in the pics? So you can let the bugs in?
To air it out!
I bloody juiced up 2L of watermelon juice and I was taking around the corner to share with my neighbour,stopped at the bin down the bottom,sat it on my seat and said 'don't forget about it' - Got back in my car foot down,come to the end of the street,hit the brakes,2L of watermelon juice everywhere!!
The next day I went to Japan for 2 weeks and my car was locked up at the airport.
I cleaned it up best I could but lets just say it took a month for the smell to completely disappear.
It gets hot out there too,so I like to have air flowing through the car.The dust I can get clean off!
If ya free on thurs,fri or sat I will be chillin out there if ya wanna come say hello :)
Or else I'm sure we'll organise 'A day on the Farm' soon!
*BIG SMILES*
Working Thurs Fri, Sat will be busy with the family, but sounds good sometime soon, get a ride-on and I'll do a few laps of the grass for ya ;)
hehe,we got a Honda Quad bike YEEEEEEEEEEW!!!

What do ya reckon of the repair? :)
lol get some pop rivets happening
haha!
I'm thinking of making a front splitter like the one a couple of pages back.If I made it right I will just leave it on full time.
The idea was just for the track but...it would be sweet on there always,as long as it looked good.
Those black and white pics are awesome. I have to admit I really like looking at your car, it's very... not sure of the word. Perhaps "tasteful"?
Thanks mate,I was stoked with how the pics turned out,the car was dirty as aswell!
'Tasteful' - :) I really like that :)
I Love my car.I have had it for almost 5 years and I have been modding it since the start,up till now,just little by little with HEAPS of research,reading and looking at pics.Everytime I have done a mod,it has been thought out and decided upon and I love how I've done that and not just rushed at it.
I have been getting great enjoyment and pleasure out of modding my car and cutomising it to my liking and I'm stoked that all the mods have worked together to complete 'My car',ya know.
I am sick of spending money on my car and have got it to a point where I need to 'let go' of modding it.I obviously will need to spend money on things for my car but the 'buying eyes' have all but gone :)
FINIALLY!!! LOL
I want to just enjoy my car now for the completed car that it is and not have the nagging feeling to buy sh!t for it.
The Car is done Brett,just let go,leeeeet goooooo :)
hey beez! nice seeing the cars still awesome!
hehehe i havent done anything to mine since start of the year... like at all.. so lazy and saving for another car..
oOo is that a rear lip i see?
Hey Dahon! Great to hear from U mate :)
What car ya wanna buy?
Thanks for the kind words,I still love my car!
It's finished.There's nothing more I wanna do to it,that's great cause I just over spending money on it.I just wanna GO RACING NOW!
hehehe
Happy Australia Day!
um me gonna gets a wrx most likely..
just want the extra power and 4wd i guess.. but the civic will still be an awesome daily/cruiser.. since ill be keeping her for that purpose =)
yeh i stopped spending on her since my transmission change.. sigh.. bloody 4spd auto sux.. especially on the highway.. i miss my cvt lolz..
i just got some new tyres on her to pass rego and thats pretty much it..
Wow,nice man a WRX.
Sweeeeet :)
What did you do with the auto box,change it?
hahaha yea as a weekend car itll be nice..
=)
the box was cvt b4 and now its auto.. my cvt quit on me.. =( i was thinkin manual but someone at home might need to have to drive the civic just in case so i went to the standard 4psd auto..
highway sux... i hate being @ 3000rpm @ 100kph...
compared to cvt.. @ 100kph itd be 2500rpm..
haha LOL
I Love my auto,makes cruising so easy and enjoyable.I can cruise ALL DAY - NO WORRIES! :)
I can do that in my manual. :p
haha That's GREAT! :)
But saves all those gear changes.
Nah, they still need to be changed anyway. Just think, my left thigh... wait, I don't like where this is going.
Damn my net gets raped everytime I load this thread, all them pictures!
:)
WE did an oil change in Timmy's (ekcoupe's) car today,so she's running good!
If we have time well change the y7 to the y4 IM before the cruise!
That will be be a nice gain!
nice lip repair :) good practice :)
haha yeah! Keepin' the costs down + I like it :)
Cheers Ryan mate!
Thanks Timmy (ekcoupe) for this MAD photoshop!!

I've been juggling my plans with my car as usual :)
Have decided on putting in the stage 1 bisi cam and some Lightweight AEM tru power a/c and p/s pulleys.This will free up some power and allow the engine to rev easier/free-er.
Also I have a belt tensioner bearing noise @1500rpm.
Here's a thread from Aug 08'.Damn,I've had it that long LOL
Anyways finially going to Honda to get it sorted.This is what needs doing,thanks John! (ecu-man):
Hi Dude
this is Honda's solution
1. Connect the PGM tester to the vehicle
2. Start the Engine and allow it to reach operating temperature ( Radiator Fans should come on twice )
3. Remove the upper timing belt cover
4. monitor the engine temperature. When the temp decreases to 58degC, rotate the crankshaft five or six turns counter clockwise.
5. Set No. 1 piston at TDC
6.When the engine temp decreaces to 55degC, loosen the timming belt adjusting bolt 180deg. Allow the tention of the timing belt to automaticlly reset the tentioner position.
7. Tighten the adjusting bolt.
8. After adjustment, retorque the crankshaft pulley bolt to 181 Nm
9. On compleating the procedure, start then engine and allow it to reach operating temperature. Confirm the noise has been eliminated. Should the noise still be exhibited the above procedure in its entirety is required to be repeated.
I will assume you wont have access to the PGM tester or a HDS, so you can monitor the ECT voltage to determine the engine Temp
the below is from temp v voltage when looking at the HDS.
ECT voltage at 58 deg 1.44v
ECT Voltage at 55 deg 1.55v
good luck
John.
