Just come cus or i will block and delete you from my life! haha
I know yeah just wanna driveeeee! gonna clean it today and fit my harness even though i have poopy seats

160 aint shit ben, ive done 360 in two days, about 100 of that on track though

Whats crackin' then ben, all shweeet?

Sorry
Been Busy helping westy out with his R5 (: engine should be going in sat!

Cars ok running abit wierd atm like sluggish, asif its being strangled of air or something :S confusing me but will have a good look into this at the weekend.
im just saving really so i can get new clutch, flywheel, 4.9fd, new bearings, and synchros so i can rebuild my box and fit new clutch all in one go rather than messing about twice. But need like a grand for everything i want!

also looking into a cage! but not sure man! ive got ideas in my head of how it would look but dunno wether to go through with it!

Im in for info on a cage, i want one for my teg but i dunno whats good/cheap.

as for feeling sluggish are there any check lights on?

nope no check lights.

Gonna change the plugs, leads and rotor arm when i get paid see what happens.

as for the cage my mates mate has just finished his motosport degree at uni and has started making them and his work looks good and not too pricey either

sweeeeet

how much?!

cage ftw

I reckon about £400 - £500 for a full weld in job.
already know the cage i want.
10 point beast with door bars too

Fekking shweeeeeeeeeeet!!

love cages but im more of a strut guy haha

Well havent posted up in a while as havent done much to the car but next week is gonna be a busy one. saturday im gonna start to take the gearbox out of the car so i can strip it down and have a look at the damage (yes im scared) but also scared of the price it would cost for someone else to do it! so once its stripped and i know which bearing has gone i will order a new one in right away and while im there im gonna order new Oring for the dizzy and a cam oil cap seal too to stop the leak. also gonna try to locate this battery. i will take lots of pictures to show the damage of the bearing and any other work i do (:

Just take your time and lay everything out neatly and you will be fine, it would deffo be worth tsking pics once the bell housing is off for reference when ou come to put it back together.

yeah and once your pro you can do mine in the rex

and mines

jay had to pay £380 to get his fixed and that was with labour, gotta hand it to you its not sumat that i would want to do at all, justwait ill you've taken it apart it aint nice in there

yeah i will. all the shafts and gears and shifter forks all come off in one assembly anyway so shouldnt be too difficult and changing the bearing is like changing any other bearing. got the gf's trusty dad helping me anyway so will be all good (: wish i could put a 4.9 FD in there though but just aint got the cash atm so will get that done at a later date with new clutch and fly. Cus £380 is too much, i dont see how they can justify that much to change a bearing. but we will see how it goes (:

GL with it, keep us posted!

mate i know, i think the main sting was sourc'ing the bearing, they said they couldent get one ffrom anywhere apart from honda and im sure it was sumat ridiculous + its not like he could of told them to foget it when his box was there in bits, labour wasnt that much from what i remmeber just the cost of the bearing.

hope its not the same one thats gone for you

ive got a price list of all the bearings in the box as i went to honda the other day to check. the most expensive bearing is £53 and thats the least common to go. the bearing im thinking has gone is £15 and the seal is £7, but we will see when its all apart.

im just hoping everything goes sweet :S

Good luck mate, I hate it when Engines go wrong.

well done for having the balls to do it yourself! doesnt look like it will cost alot for the parts then
when my white eg's box went, everyone said it was to expensive to repair. although, it was the selector shaft/arm that had snapped, and synco on 2nd was a mess.
the reason it snapped because of ramming it into 2nd with the fooked synco lol

i want to do the final drive in diff on the s2000 when i get one, best mod for the money apparently

So took the gearbox out saturday and started stripping it down today and saw right away what needed replacing and just as i suspected it was the main shaft bearing!
so ordered that right away and they should be with me tomorrow and will build the box back up on friday ready for it to go back into the car saturday,

Few pics for you (:
