you can't see mine!

Picked up a major part of the puzzle today:






Y21 is JDM sir tranny btw. H22 on b series ratio's with ITR final drive FTMFW!!

Gunna give it a good clean and some high temp paint before it goes together.

Getting closer

Some pics of the LSD:

Went to a Massive scrap yard today to get the intake mani, exhaust mani and distributor, when i say massive the place had a reception, they gave me a high vis vest to wear when I went in! I couldnt get the manifolds as the engine was still in the car, they are going to take the engine out and remove both manifolds for me so i just have to go collect them. I did however get some new sensors as most of mine are broke and the dizzy, with some fee magnecore leads



Took it apart to check the condition, rotor and contacts seemed good


Heres the leads before a good clean


And heres the new sensors next to the old ones (il let you figure out which is which)






Used some of this to help keep them sealed


And heres them in

I finally found a place to remove the stuck spark plug from the head, a place called 'west mids motorsport' (very good place, serious shit and very helpfull), so me and ned set off with the head belted in safely



Got there thinking i was just dropping the head off to collect it in a day or two but the guy started on it right there and then!



After about ten minuites the plug was out, turned out there was loads of wierd ally corrotion dust down there blocking the sides of the plug not allowing a socket on. doh I asked the guy if i could take some pics while i was there.

A gravel rally micra.





N class evo 5



His own rally 205 (not sure what group)









Some mad mini (rally cross?)



And a car they were mid project





They looked bigger in person!!

Found some 'galv-tech' paint in the garage i used on the EF, looked at the tin and it says its heat resistant to 250 degrees c, so Jay and I cleaned the engine up, masked bits, took bits off and gave it a spray.



Then while i was trying to get the intake mani gasket off the head (a complete bastard, if anyone knows of a good way to get it off pls tell me) Jay cleaned the gearbox up in preperation for some paint too.



Heres the leads after a good going over with a cloth and some WD40.



Gearbox prepped



and sprayed





Had to throw it together to see how it looked (everthings just sitting in place atm)

2 TIMES FRESH

BTW that last update was why i wasnt at the meet

really commin along nice mate..

cheers

Some great progress dude! Really enjoyin following this one!

Have to come round and see it in the metal soon

Where/who is this scrap yard? Did they have many hondas, as im after some front hubs for my mates B18 eg!

Yeah man, you'l have to come to one of the meets too, I havnt been to many recently due to shit weather.

Damn, i recently sold a set of integra GSR front hubs too.

I think the scrappy was TJ harvey ltd, or TJ harvey and sons or somethin like that, Il get the number for ya when i go there to pick up my manifolds

Iv been working alot recently with funny hours so i havnt spent much time on the car, heres a belated update:

The intake mani gasket was a bitch to get off....





Used the old, locking to nuts together to get the studs out so i could scrape the remaining gasket of:





All out:



Had enough of that 'galv tech' paint left to do the head:







PArt of intake mani sprayed:



New use for the engine while its not in the car:

man this is lookin really god dam nice. showed people from collage and they were well impressed. keep it up dude.

cheers

ye tj harvey is a pretty big place, my dad buys parts/cars from there alot,as his business is car repair.

the painted block,head and gearbox looks like they came well, looks clean. what paint was it?

how far now till its ready to drop in now?

tbh i dont know where the paint came from, i found it in the garage, read the label saw it was heat rsistant and just used it

Theres been another major setback which will cost a fair amount of time, the car's going to the body shop to be painted inside and out!!

p.s. next time your up kwick save say hello, i was going to last thursday but i didnt know who you were I was the guy in sleepys car doin some poor FF drifts btw

just look for the golf that loos like a tramp has been sleeping rough and eating doughnuts in!

so true ^

Prepped the car car ready for it to go to the shop, while ry and jay got all the sound deadening shit out (was a complete bastard) i concentrated on putting the hubs, trailing arms etc back on. We put all the sound deadening in a bag once it was all out, seemed quite heavy, still to weigh it tho.

on all fours again:



Interior ready:



i had a last second change of heart about the front end the morning it was due to go to the shop, i was looking out the kitchen window at it and it just looked sik, so i thought id keep it, plus its got the JDM fogs in, the 'JDM' front is getting more and more common, plus with the money i save i can get closer to being on road



Went to see it at the shop today, dave's started on the filling, turns out it had a few dings and dents more than we thought.

cant wait til u get dat beast on the road man
is it gunna be ready for JAE??

no way in hell, lol. soooo much to do, it probably wont be out the body shop by then

filler city batman!

hah, the filler looks like the colour im having it
