Fair enough. What's the front lip recipe? Looks like a pretty good alternative to the elusive Super S item.

Well that's plain damn sexy. Any plans for an LSD or something?

Same here pretty much.

Those are front wishbone inner bushes for 90s Civics, ones like those: http://www.strongflex.eu/en/acura-integra-93-01/150-front-wishbone-inner-bush-sport-5902553505535.html?search_query=081095a&results=5 You might need to machine them down just a bit to fit easily, but I managed to fit them in...

160. Stock was 128, I ordered 140, 150 and 160 and installed the biggest ones right away to find the result quite satisfying. Fuel consumption around town has dropped to around 11 l/100km from initial 17 after some tuning. Chased down some air leaks in the vac tank and after some fiddling with...

Well, I have a LUK clutch kit. Guess I might have to go hybrid.

Yet another short text update before I leave for a week or so. I almost managed to get the idle mixture decent, but the next day one of the screws fell out at some point, so I'm waiting for a replacement to arrive. Also changed the thermostat to a 89 Celsius one, which helped a bit with the...

Good news everyone! Micra is in running condition again and I've been driving her around for the past few days without any major issues save for massively rich mixture due to the fuel pump apparently doing it's damnest to make up for the previous two. So, what's she like, you might ask. Well...

I have Lesjofors -35mm progressive springs with KYB gas shocks and am quite pleased with how they feel.

No worries, I set fire to mine this way.

I checked the Haynes manual and yes, this is the later model type (used 1988 onwards) where the wheel hub/bearing assembly is separate from the brake drum. The engine was 1.0, but I think all facelift models had this type.

Okay, so I'm not dead, I've just been kinda busy/lazy with stuff, progress is present though, just never had the time nor willpower to write up a post. Been putting off posting those pics for two weeks now, so just have a look and maybe I'll write something up during downtime at work or...

Finally! Also, she looks damn good with those wheels. Guess I gotta get my ass in gear and update my thread as well now.
