my next task :( ^^
will soon relocate battery to boot and fuse box under dash when i have time haha,
has anyone relocated the overflow bottle?
last night installed Front sway bar and welded eye bolts in for harness ready for track day next week
nulon 10w-30 + greddy oil filter
headlight restoration, before/after pics to come
Had a straight pipe fitted from the headers to the muffler on friday, car is now making 126kw atw on a mid-range tune (for track) One of the baffles in my mid-pipe had completely collapsed and my exhaust was about 1.5" in the mid-pipe section, that was why my car was making such little power at autosalon :/
Today I stripped my interior (passenger seat, all speakers and headunit, lower part of dash, door trims, passenger seat belt assembly) rear seats etc were already done. Also mounted my rear wing back on, getting ready for track.
Just gotta get my tires fitted onto my wheels and mount my rear diffuser and front splitter :thumbsup:

So good to see your EM1 again Mike especially in track form.. You tow it up to Winton??
looks hot man.
should be getting some new headers for my EJ8 before Friday, WOOOO
looks good Mike, nice power from your EM1 :)
running a EM1 front sway, yeah running with out a harness feel weired on the track, i dunno how some people can do it.Quote:

i'm pretty sure you need ek9 front LCAs aswell. don't quote me on that though haha
if u have EK1 u need to change LCAs as i had to.
but every thing else should be ok em1, vtir and ek9 sways should all fit
Front ek9 and ek4 are the same diameter i heard.... if im not mistaken only differences is the rear sway bar
Im not sure of ek1 though, could be the same minus the rear swaybar
CXI are the only model EK that lca's wont work, GLI and up willQuote:

More interior creaks from added stiffness. :)

nope, i guess depends on few things really, most notable the condition of the shockers, but tires also play big factor to road noiseQuote:

true, i guess any profile less than 50 and it's not going to help and suppose with coilovers you can control the stiffness as well :)Quote:

Yeah sound deadening and carpet have all been removed from the inside :thumsbup:Quote:

Hardly see any modded civics around Vic nowadays, or maybe im jus on the wrong side of the state lol (northside), from what iev seen skylines/silvia out number us big time, for every 5 skylines, theres one modded civic :(
i guess you could say its the new bogan car, since there dirt cheap an every bogan thinks his a even more of a hard kent with a turbo (no offence taken to skyline owners)
Fixed my Drivers side door locking mechanism....Took it all apart, cleaned it, lubricated all the moving parts put it back together all good... Only to find my passenger door lock is playing up now...
Ah the joys of 10+ years old Hondas.
I figure my car realises I have put it up for sale and now its crakin' the shits in retaliation.
door lock easy to fix bro!Quote:

ah yes, I understand, my ITB's already have really short but wide bellmouths on the them. my Filters just sit over them.Quote:

I see a hell of a lot of skylines around my area but only 1/7 are worth a second look. My area is packed full of commodores and Utes to be honest (complete with a southern cross sticker and chevy badge.......) every second dickhead has one and there are a lot of dickheads out my way haha Honda's out my area are very scarce :(
Installed whale penis intake, removed resonator, cut bumper and installed cold air feed. The whale penis intake seems deeper and louder than injen replica. Throttle response seems better too.

I heard awhile back running longer trumpets can alter ur power band, though i wouldn't know for sure as im not a engineer but seeing real race cars with long trumpets could mean somethingQuote:

Is that a mini i see, lol, good ol mr.bean car hahahaha whack in a K20 in it, than its no slouch
longer runners mean more torque
Already running wider wheels and tires for track man, running 15x8" +36 6ul with hoosier R6 225 up front and 205 at the rear. My other wheels are the SSR's (not to be mistaken with work meisters ;) ) which are the 16x7.5" +26, so they would be great for track if they weren't so heavy... (possibly be up for sale soon tooQuote:

Will be the first time out with this new wheel tire combo so i'm keen to see what difference it will make compared to my old combo,
the 15x7" +42 with 205 direzza 03G's. Should be a huge difference,
i hope.
Yeah the mini has been at undercoat stage for the last 3 years. My brothers un-finished project... Working engine and everything. Just needs a spray and a new dash made up and it would be pretty much done.
my 'N*Power' eBay headers came todaaaaaaaaaay :D! me so happy!! heres the link to my facebook album

Just took my car out for a sneaky drive down my road. OMG what a difference!! completely different car, faster, more repsonsive :) I'm still shaking. Bring on WINTON on sunday!! :thumbsup:
installed new Sabelt Taurus seat, found an bloody good deal yesterday
DC5 MUGEN TWIN LOOP fitted onto my EM1 =D
Nice man :thumbsup: all ready for track sunday?Quote:

Either way though, it looks great.

yeah, pretty much ready, just need to tinker with the car a bit more in the morning.
gonna c what this D-series can do b4 the B20 goes in
looks tough man, u really should cover the whole under side to get the full effect of the front splitter and diffuser.
Holy shit that things looks spastic why have i not seen any videos of this monster?
Looks much more aggressive with the rear diffuser now :)
It may even cut ur lap time down a full second, or two, but im assuming you would be running relative low suspension for the rear diffuser to come into effect, or have i got the inner workings of diffuser messed up? lower the car, means less air pressure under neath?
True time attack car, any more plans? roll cage, with seem welded body with carbon fiber body shell lol
JEESUZ Mike.... Your car is looking so tough... God I wish I could keep my EM1 for a track build now :( :( :(Quote:

hmmmm
what i did to my EK 2day, oh yes i took it to winton for the 1st time and did a 1:51.7 with a D16y4
i reckon i could have gone better if i lost my passenger of 100kg.
also congrats to mike for SMASHING his PB by 3 seconds
nice :) how does that time compare to an b16a/b?
I also took my car to Winton and did a new PB of 1:37.19 ended up 3rd fastest for the day overall out of 65 cars :) couldn't be happier with how the car performed today!! Everything was spot on apart from my muffler falling off in the last session :? haha
Thanks man :)Quote:

Had my timing belt and all service belts replaced. Had valve clearances re-done. :D
Got her back from the Exhaust shop, replaced my turbo manifold gasket, and turbo mounting bolts.
does anyone know on the distributor on the d16y4 wich way to turn it to advance the timming, eg clockwise advance timming anti clockwise retard or vise versa?
bolted on my ek9 front lip yesterday looks the goods from jdmYARD thanks again.
installed Fast line shifter and added a circuit hero on top to make it super high.

ive also noticed that it has a shorter throw than the stock 1, i guess that helped alot.
took the rails off the seat to make it fixed to the chassis which lowered the seat by 2 inches.
so the seat itself (no rails at all) is bolted to the floor of the car? I have never seen that befor.
yep no rails at all, just a bracket so it bolts to the OEM holes
finally put my N*Power headers in today, took 2 hours or so with lunch of course :P
http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-..._2306394_n.jpg
installed my N*Power header today.
only took it for a 5minute drive to get the gold,
wish it would stay this colour!

haha n*power ftw! yea took us 2 hours we did it casually lol but yea... was your o2 sensor hard to get out the old headers? mine was a bitch had to use a very bigger DIY breaker bar (fence pole lol)
Monday - brought my 1996 EK Civic Sedan (stock other than KSport Coilovers).
Thursday - Got the windows tinted with 20% tint, ordered a set of 16x8" ET35 Rota RB's.
Friday - Painted the rear 'H' badge and 'CIVIC' badge in gunmetal metallic grey.
By the way guys, how are you finding the N*Power headers? They seem pretty good value for $160 delivered off Ebay - was going to buy a set and now I've seen you guys have just installed them. Much change in performance/sound? Hows the build quality?
No, actually the whole thing came off and went back together like a dream.Quote:

we used quite a bit of WD40 to get the bolts off but other then that, it wasn't any harder then what you'd expect it to be.
Congrats on the new EK, (sounds like the same as mine ;)Quote:

Yeah I wasn't expecting any real sound gains out of it - I was actually toying with the idea of getting the N*Power headers and then getting a 2" exhaust done.Quote:
