Actually you can purchase items like this for alot of cars, they help block heat from the engine bay and keep the air cooler, but the aftermarket ones usually have some sort of thermal protection on them, which i would recommend getting as well for this one, and it would function alot more efficient

Remember when Civics were cool ? Yea me neither

- Mon May 04, 2009 6:42 pm #114850 Fair enough, I still think it'll be more effeciant if you used a cold air feed.

- Tue May 05, 2009 11:59 am #114969 Pls dont get me wrong. I am not hating. But your paint
finish is so rough. I think it needs some fine sanding
and a thorough buffing.

yes it still needs to be polished

- Tue May 05, 2009 12:38 pm #114977 so here is the update

as i had mentioned i had burnt my arm by working on my engine bay and my watch caught the live and got super heated and fried my arm.


But any how here my update.

Had all the belts replaced, new disc had them slotted, new brake shoes, had a vernier gear installed, tappets set and new suspension parts ball joints, rack ends etc.

Well as you might or might not know we don't really get these cars except for the sedan version so i ran into some trouble. First i couldn't get the correct drums, then after that the pads were wrong for the front, after that the radiator's top tank broke and i couldn't get a radiator cos it was a Sunday.so i spoke to a contact he he got me one.sorry for the poor quality pics but enjoy.

These are the parts i bought

the new disc

the cam gear

the radiator


so before

during

after



Gear before

after

Radiator
before

after

and painted the rear drums



the end result







much to my disappointment the water pump packed up later that evening but a new one is being installed.

plans still include a engine bay repaint and the repair of the accident
also my new laptop is coming to control the chip and sound so will keep you posted as not like before comments are welcome good or bad

:lol:

- Tue May 05, 2009 4:42 pm #115035 Why on earth did you paint your rear drums red?

I'm sorry, but it looks ridiculous. Either get rid of them and get discs on there or paint them black. The last thing you want to do is draw attention to the fail that is your rear braking system.
