My first Honda - ED3

OK yeah I could take a look at the dizzy after I did the ignition timing. but I'm still figuring out how to do it so I'll clean the dizzy and see if it helps.

Yes it does have an external coil.

Finally got the exhaust tips sorted. 2inch inlet, 2 x 2.25inch outlet.

I like what you are doing with this - I've always had a soft spot for ED/EF/EE Civics. Re the piping, if it's blowing a lot of oil into your intake, there's an internal leak somewhere, possibly valve stem seals which is over-pressurising the valve cover. It's normal to blow a little, hence the system. Best bet is to not vent it to the atmosphere as it's illegal but to plumb it into an oil catch can that can be tucked hidden out of the way (and then vented).

Thanks

that's good advice. it doesn't seem to be venting excessively, I think the build up is just the result of years of use. I'm looking into the oil catch can now. any brand recommendations?

I like your car however I don't like your type R sticker.

No offence.

None taken

It was already on there when I got it. I guess it's some sort of joke. It'll be coming off when I to the body and paint anyway, I was originally thinking of putting an official type R civic badge on once the new paint gets done.... but my taste in humour has changed a bit since then.... so I'm not so sure.
