Ello folks.
Ive been an avid browser of your forums for a few months now. I came across them whilst surfing for a DIY on replacing interior carpet! I could not join due to not having a decent email addy so got my sky one sorted especially for you
I own a '96 EJ9 (1.4) Civic Hatch in Dark Amethyst Pearl.
The car itself is in moderate condition and over the last couple of years i have been rebuilding it.
So far i have had to do the following, on a budget, and most was from scrapyard:
Full replacement interior.
Full front end replacement (was in a smash) along with suspension
New exhaust system, japspeed straight-through, although have only fitted the backbox and mid section. Still looking for a new mani and downpipe.
New braking system.
Still to do:
Replace suspension/dampers with new items.
Mucho body work, front end doesnt line up properly (see if beeza can solve this one)
New rear bumper.
Few dings and scrapes needing knocked out or filled! then resprayed.
Newer engine with lower miles.
Braidied brake/clutch lines.
Main problem im trying to solve is i am getting poor fuel econemy, i have black sooty deposits on plugs and exhaust tip. I believe this is because im running rich for whatever reason. Getting a few more sensors over the week and we'll see what its like.
If there is no improvement im putting iot down to the age/mileage of the engine.
Car is OTR atm due to a sheared balljoint, luckily i had just gone over a speedbump and was only just moving in no more, so no real damage, except for the driveshaft that was pulled out along with it
So on a go slow atm
But wanted to say hi and just say it is an awsome forum you have, we have a few in the UK but full of timewasters posting idiotic and pointless comments to get theyre posts up.
I will post pics when i have more time
Keep up the good work.
Chris
