And now that i think about it the T2 knuckles will have a straight fitting for the LCA mount, while the Civic has a taper.

Just generally all round doesnt work.

You can swap the struts, but you definitely cannot swap the knuckles. They may bolt up, but your camber will be miiiilllleees out. There is only one way to do a 4x100 conversion on a 1st gen and thats using the EN hubs and pressing them into the EB knuckle, as documented fairly well on 1stgencivic.com

Bigelboe is probably the guy to talk to about this as he replaced his factory coil with an aftermarket one which seemed to work pretty well. Unfortunately hes possibly a little hard to contact at the moment, ill see if i can get him to post a reply. Alternatively he probably wrote something on this ...

My vote would be coil is failing.

Apologies for it being upside down. Note under the manifolds so it...

Flat section on the back of the block just beside the gearbox. Probably covered in scum.

I didnt leave Palmy till 11.30 last night, drove back to Wellington and then up to go to work at 5.30 :? Huge thanks to Adam at AAP Imports for the Verte...

Is the gear on the cam broken or the gear on the oil pump shaft? The gear on the cam is part of the cam, you would have to replace the whole cam shaft if it is this one which is broken. Supposedly the cam gear and pump shaft gear are a matched pair, so you should not replace one without replacing th...

Swaps are not too bad if you are mechanically minded. If you have to pay someone else to do the work for you it could be quite expensive. The only major hurdle is converting a carburetted car to fuel injection, so you have to run a new fuel line from the back of the car. Wiring may look tricky but t...

Perhaps you could look for a Cabriolet body in your country and import a Turbo motor for it?

Thats very interesting, if it is actually a VJ26 and not some funny hybrid thing. IHI RHF5 VJ26 We’re not 100 percent sure on the origin of this turbo but it appears to be from the Japanese-market Mazda Familia GT-R (essentially a STi or Evo equivalent of the Mazda’s Familia AWD turbo). The turbocha...

Guard roller wont help, its the inside of the flares thats the problem not the lip.

I am considering cutting the flares off and shifting them higher up on the guards, but thats possibly a little too much work to be bothered with in the short term.
