tax and tested ones go for just over £1000 these days but mine is on sorn and without tax or mot so i'm looking for about £400 it will need to be towed. It needs a really really good polish or a coat of paint to make it look good again, its got a few rare modification parts from South Africa...

sorry i've been away for a while. Car is still here, it has a new tailgate on it now from 'GL' model as these tailgates dont rot. :bigsmile:

An 'induction kit' is just that, its a bundle of bits that control the induction to your throttle, basically a pipe and filter. A cold air induction kit or CAI is like that above but with a longer pipe to put the filter into a colsd air space rather than in the engine bay, some claim to be CAI...

if its just the sound you want?, drill the lower part of the airbox out with 10mm holes in a neat pattern and while you're at it fire a cold air intake tube from the front grill to the holes in the box. It will do nothing for power but will give you that satisfying 'roar' as the revs...

This isnt quite true :embarrest: bigger circumference alters the drive ratio, bigger wheels makes little difference (only weight) if they're fitted with smaller tyres, any good wheel tyre specialist should try their best to keep the overall circumference as close to original as possible when...

Hi, excuse my ignorance but is the 'fat lad' the same as the bushwaker ? those ridiculously cool looking super wide arch flares etc ?

i'd like to take a tuned sr20DET powered Sand rail for a blast across the Sahara !

if that happens and you 'd like a little fun rip small sections of electrical tape off and place them over each sensor (if they're the type you can see). The next time he starts his car they'll just continue to make a high pitched squeal until he removes the tape !

the dial clusters have a multi-plug on the back, you can probably drop another cluster in no problem and just plug'n'play as the loom is probably standard for all models, just with some things disconnected, the revcounter will no doubt take a feed from either the coil or the ECU ? If its from...

nope it just, and just clears all common road obstacles, the front lip will scrape on a curb if its a little higher than standard but i tend not to pull the front right over the curbs anyway. unless your speeding, then it bottoms out LOL

3.5 inches

no rubbing or grinding, its a little bouncy though on the new coils would prefer something harder, may chop the originals down. the Engine code is a F18b2 (B standing for boat anchor i assume ?)

its on sorn, no tax. it really is knackered (body work) . will PM my number.

will have to dig some out... current ride is a 1980 Buick Regal (lowrider) for fun and honda accord S for humdrum.

Porsche engines are too heavy in the back of a bug, you'll get much better power to weight performance and handling with a modified Type 4 2ltr ;) I know because i've had both ! Porsche engine was pulled and sold within 2 months. It now resides in the back of a mental Beach buggy !

£300 ? for the engine/box - exhaust - interior - wheels and tyres. you can have the rotten metal that surrounds it all for free. It really is knackered.

guess what..... i forgot to check LOL. fitted the new rims and lowered the front on those dodgy coil over conversions though, will look at the engine code tomorrow. before lowering. after.

if its chugging on pull away its probably choking, take youe air filter out and drive it up the road and back (as long as its not an unmade road) and see if the problem persists, if it doesnt just clean or replace your airfilter.

Drives of any amount of time are always fun in the Regal :D

get real, drilling out the airbox only allows warm air in and the main reason for doing it is to let the induction roar out. :mad: For a 20v you 're best bang for buck mod is new cams with vernier gears and have it set up on a rolling road by a professional.

dont normally post in other peoples introduction threads as i'm ony new here myself, but seeing as you have a bug i couldnt resist, i grew up on VW's and built a Baja a pro-street style mish mash (baja rear and cal-look front - pig ugly but quick) and my last was on Juice after i'd campaigned it...

ECU's on good cars are programmed to monitor at least 7 sensors in the engine and engine bay, the re-mapping done internally is based on the AFM (Air flow meter), and The incoming AIR TEMP both of these values tell the ECU how lean or rich to make the fuel delivery so its always at its 'peak' in...

engine swap

could be, its stock, apparently its the same engine thats found in the honda Shuttle?, hence the amount of torque it puts out for a small car ? thats had mild weight saving like no elec windows in the rear etc I'll take a look when i get home from work at the stamp on the block LOL. i...

no its 1.8 but is actually 1863 or something ?

pipe craft in basildon Essex specialise in this sort of application and their work is top notch, Powerflow installers are a little limited to the boxes they have and results vary from shop to shop, i used the guys at Harlow (Xtreme) and basically had to explain to them the dynamics of the...

probably got the code wrong LOL its probably an 'f' ? got a pic of it... The engine layout is similar to other engines so i'm guessing i can fit a CAI from something else with minor modifications

my 2001 accord 's' has a B18D boat anchor up front, its torquey and goes well but i can find virtually no information on the net about it, K&N dont even make a CAI for it ! LOL anyone ?

thanks.

Yep, i normally cut the rot out and fabricate a repair panel, unless a replacement is cheap and easy ?

the more batteries you have the more 'play time' you get but it also depends on their configuration, the more volts you have the faster the hydro's work. The stock hydro pump motor is a 12v unit, i shove 36v through it, but you can use upto 72v through them as they are only on momentarily and...

lets see.. same car ALL NEW SUSPENSION COMPONENTS ? it should ride better than stock. If you want your car to hop or dance (with juice) you have to remove/replace or change the damping effect which will create handling compromises, but these cars are not built for speed ! there are...

a word of warning, never have an air or juice system fitted by your local garage or performance parts specialist. They have no idea or experience and make huge mistakes ! ask about on some of the UK lowrider websites/forums for help advice or installers.

not strictly true, an air ride system than performs the same a basic hydraulic system is actually more expensive as you have to upgrade the basic air ride system to match the juice. a basic air system will cost about £1700 + £500 of upgrades a basic hydro system will cost about £2000 all in...

hydro's and air are 'slightly' different beasts. out the box hydro's are far more powerfull and off longer 'play time' i.e the amount of power in your batteries. Air is slower and your 'play time' is realted to the amount of air in the tank. Both systems can be modified to the extreme with...

sneaky peek (it rained at the weekend so only got the front dropped) will do the rear next weekend Honda before drop:

When it was good: [/IMG] Now is knackered.. its actually worse than it looks in these photo's, i do my own bodywork and it needs a whole new tailgate, the arches can be done though, the sunroof (no pic) is shot but a new skin is cheap :)

I painted some leather seats i had and they came out really good, they were Black and i painted them light grey using a product similar to Vinylkote, the prep work will make or break it, it takes ages getting them really really clean, the paint is supposed to change the pigment rather than just...

It has 14" lift in the rear and 8" lift in the front.

Can anyone point me in the direction of a decent Tuning shop that deals with Honda's, the reason i ask is that mine (2001 Accord S) has a rather odd engine and there are virtually no tuning parts listed for it so i need to offer up or measure parts before buying :mad: The engine layout is...
