  1. Upgrade to a CD009 gearbox
  2. Just been under my car and all are still there, think the coating of dirt and grime must act as a sound insulator Its probably due to the amount of salt/grit/stones spread on the roads during winter that is causing you to notice it more?
  3. Nearly missed this until I seen who the OP was made by =p always wanted one but a bit long in the tooth now, at least an import will be in better nick (hopefully,)
  4. miss read your post so removed my comment I don't think mine ever came with those undertrays or they got taken off long ago
  5. What exhaust setup are u running octet? Glad Mark has spared me from another impulse buy ;-)
  6. I am guessing this is one of the silicone couplers that is too big as there is a visible gap at the end?(maf coupler) What about a bracket or cable ties to stop the pipe moving forward and hitting the pulley? I know mine is close Mine is the revised setup like yours? (the one that leaves out the nice ams idler pulley ) as for belt size I have a spare one for my 3.33 setup so thinking maybe go for a 3.12 belt for future up grade would prefer to wait till 2-3rd of next month so the car will have been tuned and my future path is visible out but if you need to order asap let me know so I can have a better think.
  7. I might be up for one if the price is right (I presume you have to drill a hole in the bracket? (too lazy to check if it has one in that area already))
  8. Welcome! I came from a bb4 prelude 2.2 also, very different cars but both lovely to drive.
  9. Nice numbers what size belt did you go for and pulley configuration?
  10. Considered it as one of my fav colours butas you say silly expensive
  11. Dont you need the air filter in place before you mount the charger? Obviously the instructions were only used to wipe Chris oily face Looks like great progress and a lot of fun! Much better when you have more people helping out (father and son teams dont work so happily ) I hope the person who worked hardest got the big curly sausage
  12. Started early thinking it would be a quick chop of the bumper and on it would go I wish I had used the words over estimate for the first time in my life as me and my dad were back and forth cutting and filing then offering the bumper up to see somewhere else it fouled. No power saws for us real men drilled lots of little holes then used a file to remove sharp edges. Then the fun began, told my dad to take a video of first start up. http://s1168.photobu...355120.mp4.html No starty gave it 10mins for the fuel to evap, then second go! (pitty my dad wasn't filming and had to rush to give me the phone) http://s1168.photobu...5fc655.mp4.html Sorry its short as it runs pig rich! had to give it a bit of gas after cranking for quite long before it came to life, ended up settling at 1200ish rpm but not for long as I was passing out from the fumes Will get wheels on and go for a drive round the block next weekend (tax will be next month.) Sorry not sure how to upload photobucket vids? Also need to tighten the belts as you can hear
  13. Well did you beat me to start up? Got mine running at 4.30pm,
  14. Been finished for a while, just not got the balls yet to start her and watch the ensuing fireball Been tidying up bits to waste time but she is now filled with oil so nothing stopping me starting her tomorrow.... but I will wait till Sat when I have a spare pair of hands at the ready with the extinguisher. I am trying to see if you have anything missing but there is that much stuff its impossible to tell. Looks like you are set for a busy weekend P.S. where did you get the big filter for the BPV? looks cool.
  15. The only supercharger that will give you the whine is the stillen = chopping up you bonnet and not as much hp as centrifugal type.
  16. Thinking about repairing my aircon pipe which has a hairline fracture in it when I tried to move it during the vortech install. The area it fractured has a wear spot from something the previous owner had done,probably =). So my question is can I repair it/get a pro to do it/get a second hand pipe from zmanalex? It must only be a small hole as it took around 10mins to empty and the coloured oil to spew out. If I have to replace the pipe how do the mushroom type connectors work? (it is the pipe from the front of the car under the airbox up to the battery compartment furthest to the passenger side). Cheers (have sent some emails to local repair shops but I know some of u guys are up early ;-)
  17. Still not looking forward to mentioning 'supercharger and supporting mods' to them. =/ might have to phone sky etc so I have numbers to barter with.
  18. I am in the same boat so might try some of these products too.
