Forums Forums StuyMac: Honda Civic VTi - SiR Race car.

I have a traders insurance policy, so all they require is the make and reg number - only my primary car (The Nissan) has Mods declaired - so adding another car costs me no extra

Ill be running 195/50/15s in the 888's - but drivers get a discount through the club on tyres, I think we get them for about £35 a corner

alot bigger discount than reyland can offer. i think he sells em for 60 per corner.

Looking good stu BUT you laaaaaazzzzy git cittung the dash instead of taking it out quicker and ts not a show car i suppose

Well, the regs say the dash must stay in the car, but even to take it out to cut it wasa problem...

The cage was hard to get in the car, once in, I unbolted the dash, but couldnt get it all the way out due to the cage - and after the hassle of getting it in, it wasnt coming out to cut the dash lol

....so I trimmed it when it was loose. Its never a show car though, and purpose outrules appearance here

Great work

Would have loved to have seen yu struggle with the Cage
and then Me Chris and Andy offering absolutly no advice
from out side. Hoping you would loose your calm composoure lol


Well done.
I seriously think we should call you what ever that blokes
name was on chitty chitty bang bang, who made chitty?

Why?

Well he went in his house and came out with a car too

a lil bit of inspiration

Finally got round to getting a pic of the seat fitted, with the cage now fully fitted, and welded in

looks good

yeh it looks great m8

saw this in park garage the other day. can't wait to see it abusing the tracks.

look gud stuy, what paint did you use to paint the floor, look like you have painted it, reason I am asking is I want to paint mine but unsure if hammerite is the thing to use. anyway am guessing you will be at newbrighton next year.keep it up

Was just a random "one coat" metal paint from B&Q.

I tried Hammerite, but didnt really like the gloss finish, plus, the hammerite is really thick and doesnt go far. Although this is ment to be one coat, ive still given it a couple to be sure...

Stu, where you in Park Garage? If my car was there, I was deffo there with it

Been pretty busy over the Christmas break with the car, heres the progress

New Paddle Clutch and Lightweight flywheel fitted:



New Final drive gear set fitted - Std Box:



Box in bits and rebuilding with new mainshaft:



Rebuilt with new shaft and crownwheel:



Lil reverse gear all on its own on the right of the pic:



Twin Loop exhaust fitted:



The exhaust has quietened the car right down, just need to noise test it, maybe someone on thursday will hold the sound meter for me to check.... ?

After fitting the gear set, I drove the car, and TBH It felt about the same as before, though it felt quite flat....

The speedo wasnt working (Disturbed a connection) which in turn ment it wasnt VTEC'ing. Ive now fixed the Speedo and the car happily VTECs, and is much faster .... I cant belive the difference it has all made!

Car used to rev at 3500rpm @ 70mph, its now about 4250rpm @ 70mph.

Estimated top speed at on the limiter of 5th is about 135mph, plenty for a 1600cc car on a UK track

very nice stuy, keep the good work up

Will be updating this thread next week, done quite a few more jobs to the car, just need to get some pics and upload them
