My 1991 Civic Shuttle

yeah no doubt someone has tried to have the wheels away, or as you said, the nuts.
gutted mate. any damage to the car or wheel?
does any d-series dizzy fit?

update..........

For the first time in my life. I have vtec

the vacuum pipes are basicly fucked, this was casing the misfire.
Its not very fast as its got to have the carbs tuned. Infact its probably slower than before but its working.

Save up for some rolling road sessions now.

and it will be at the meet

No damage as it was almost at a standstill and the wheel got wedged in the arch. very lucky.

Verry luck indeed mate but well done in getting it going...good that there's no damage to the wheel or arch, cheeky buggers trying to nick your wheels though....

actully I think i might of over tightened them and stripped the nuts

LOL...as long as its sorted is main thing..

no. its not lol

this morning it didn't want to start for shit. and is very low on power. misfires a bit untill it warms up. Also there is a rattle from the engine on low rpm, very worrying

WANK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
curbed a new rim already, wank wank wank

Gutted.
Is it a polished or painted edge? (I work at a metal finishers you see - polishing).
Is it running ok now?!
Joe

painted gunmetal edge.
No

the edge of the wheel? its olished isnt it?

its around the lip on the back offside...

Update.

Had a look at the carbs yesterday. only to find out that one was sticking so took it apart again and freed it up. it now goes like stink

whats is running like?

not that bad to be faif, waterpump is really on last legs now though so need to pull my finger out and get that changed. the only way im gonna get it perfect is to changed the bodged together dizzy and then get it timed with a timing light.

not updated for a while but the car is running much better thanks to Powelley, Darkness and Weston Performance. New dizzy is on and the cam timing is now perfect. last job is the carb tuning.


So the car is not at home as its now at Weston Performance again getting fine tuned and dyno'd. Im sure Darkness might post some pics as ive left the shuttle for him to use for a few days while his rex is out of action.

no matter how much i trusted someone i dont think i could lend them my car!!! hopefully it will come back swarve as a nut.

I trust Chris. he's lent me his cars over the years too. he's only driving a mile or so to work and back in it

Not going to drive is around, george is here normally earlier then i am and is going to start on it first thing.
He's going back to basics on it, carbs off, clean, fit, set timing (or check it) then calibrate carbs hopefully ready by the afternoon for dyno.

The guys fucking love pedo bear "no one likes a tattletale" tag!

haha. you sure man? you welcome to use it

Actually i might, never driven the beast before,
Either way its insured under me and the workplace..oh and your choke is waaaaay out of whack but we can fix it...
I'll bring my good camera tomorrow for snaps.

coolio

Ive got a spare choke cable if you need it??

Blimey this morning was fun on the drive to work, think i might get me an ef again for a run about lol.
