This project maybe of interest. Still a long way to go on it. Been on it for 4 or 5 years now, other projects on the go at the same time, all using the Lexus V8.

My Honda Del Sol b16 inside....

by Bradders, 30-07-2020, 12:03 PM

Hi all,

Thought i'd add my new car, i think i made a thread for my mr2 a while back but that soon went!

anyway im copying from my del sol forum project but heres how she is from start to present!

I had low expectations from what i saw in the tiny pictures, but still i thought it might be worth a shot, i got there and it looked awesome, the more i looked around the better it started looking, i started firing some questions, seeing as it only had 57k on the clock..

It was his sisters from new, she bought it from a dealership and couldnt keep up the payments on it... so many moons ago he took it off her hands and paid all the payments off, and since its been sat on his drive doing nothing. he works long hours so don't get a chance to get it on the road, he looked sad to see it go even quenching a look over the fence when we towed it off!

I looked in the boot, i saw an amp wired in professionally (very neatly done all wire tidy) and i thought well theres no sub? turns out the stereo runs to the amp which powers the 4 kenwood uprated speakers in the corners, i have the receipt for £660.72 for stereo and amp purchase and installation!

The ashtray was missing, he said oh wait i have that indoors, i bought it from honda last month, cost me £160... oh dear lord. also the 3rd brake light £120 all bought from honda! i got all the manuals but no service history, we are going to keep in touch as he is moving home and has boxed up the paper work.

Sorry to drag it out but im exited about this beast, here's more about the spec.

It's a Honda Civic Crx Del sol VTI (bit of a mouthful) its the Uk model which is 8bhp less than the import (easily sorted) and £800 less on the insurance lol

Its a b16 engine 160bhp standard. the car weighs 1050 kilos so you can imagine how quick it is (i couldnt keep up with one in the mr2 against an automatic)

Its in old english white kinda cream looking white colour, it has the bubble lip which i've always wanted to do anyway but its a bonus its already there. This is going to be my project as of now. This will be my car for at least 2-3 years, that dont mean i wont buy others in the meantime Anyone who is interested in the mr2, i'll let it go for around £600 to anyone on here, possibly less.

Anyway on to some pictures..

On the tow bar


then randoms











Ill get more wednesday night as i will be giving her the first clean then full service, brakes bled, small unpainted parts painted (guy repaired all the door sills of rust etc.. just left in primer) then onto some modding in the engine bay!

JAE 2012 Thank you

by Rabster, 30-07-2020, 07:32 AM

Well thats another fun filled weekend over with, im sure these weekends go to fast. I have to say it was a complete success and im sure the pictures will show everyone exactly how much fun the club can have over the 3 day weekend!!

I would like to say a huge thanks to all the members that came over the 3 days without you the club would not have had the such a vast array of cars. and a constant hive of activity throughout the days and nights and in the words of a very drunk member there aint no party like an outlaw party!

so on with the thanks

A big thank you needs to be said to the set up team and convoy team that arrived on thursday night. The fact we blocked my road with the number of vehicles prior to leaving was excellent, even more to the point was the fact it was all hands on deck when we got there and had the stand fully built by half 9 that night. everyone dug in and i think we had it organised very well.

a big thanks to heather and Transit Van Phil for the superb cooking all weekend, the fact we had a variety of meals and extra food ready for anyone that didnt fancy what we had cooked was a true credit to you both
i dont think anyone went hungry and i know a few other clubs couldn't believe the food we were eating at a car show we really do know how to feed the members at these events!

Our most help full member winner needs a thank you to for stepping in with the cooking on 2 occasions with no questions asked well done Almost finished you really are a credit to the club.

there will be a full list of prize winners from the weekend and the trophies and awards they received posted in a new thread soon

For those of you that agree that the show goes to quick i believe JAE have been listening in to our conversations over the past few weekend and rumour has it the gates will be open from the thursday evening now for all attendees so we can get an extra night of fun filled activities next year.

Roll on JAE 2013

Another new car...

by reco2k, 30-07-2020, 05:40 AM

Sorry i havent been around as of late but been very busy getting married lol
Well after finding a lot of things wrong with my sx i found it very difficult to fall in love with so i fixed the major issues mot'd it and tidied it up then sold it. Didnt go for a lot but made a small profit so thats all good. It got picked up yesterday evening and an hour later i was picking up my new toy



Its a gtst spec 1.5 and has been owned by a very good friend of mine. He is a professional painter and has repainted the car in ford focus RS green but with a slight difference to the base coat to make the colour stand out more. Mod wise it has had basic breathing mods and an intercooler so i will be looking to colour code and tidy up the engine bay sort some electrics out and get a boost controller and a remap done.

I am already in love with the car and it is a joy to drive

Couple more pics




It is currently an auto but that will get sorted soon and the interior needs bringing to life with some green and black paint along with my usual led light conversion to brighten the dash up from its current sad state

I didn't have a camera with me at this one, but here are some crappy photos I took on my phone to get the ball rolling while all the pro's are still busy PPing their masterpieces...

I just tried the new GT86. Despite its relatively low powered engine I found it really fun to drive.

Hi All

I have had my Is200 for 6 years and it's the most reliable car i have ever had:thumbup1:

I put a TTE supercharger in it 4 years ago, which has been a lot of fun.

The old man is starting to show it's age now so i will be asking all sorts of awkward questions, to keep it going!

Oddball Micra toy idea.....

by Mr Reman, 27-07-2020, 07:26 PM

Due to an increase in staff numbers at work I find that I have a fair few extra free weekends now than I've had for several years (Which means more playtime for me, But a little less cash to mess about with..... Not a big problem though).


OK, So what to do with my new free time?


Well, I haven't given up entirely on the idea of having a road legal "Disposable" toy car to hoon about on track with, And I've had a silly idea going around in my head for a few months now. This is all in the "Ponderance" stage at the minute and probably won't go anywhere....... But if it did lead somewhere, It would fall into the "Just for the silliness of it" category of projects.

I've been playing with an idea to get a boggo 1.0 or 1.3 K11 Micra and seeing if I can bodge a little low pressure turbo on it (From something like an Uno or Starlet)!

I'm just interested in the feasibility with regards to the engine and gearbox at the minute, I don't want to get bogged down with talking about brake upgrades and other "It would also need......" discussions. Also, Please don't reply with "Why the hell would you want to do this, Just go out and buy a......." or "Just drop a SR20DE into it". If I did build this it would just be because I fancy a silly/cheap toy to pull to bit's and rebuild (But I'm too old for Airfix kits! :Sulk and the idea of a 1.0 or 1.3 Micra with a turbo tickles my sense of humour.

I know I'd need to fab an exhaust manifold, Sort out some inlet plumbing, Build and fit something like a Megasquirt ECU, Fit a higher capacity fuel pump and probably larger injectors, + a few other bit's and bobs, But the whole ethos with this would be going back to my "Yoof" and doing it all on the cheap using secondhand bit's from Ebay and the local scrappy wherever possible (I wouldn't see a Megasquirt kit as expensive because when I blow the car up and scrap it I could yank it back out and sell it, or keep it for the next toy car. :tongue_smilie.

So, What I want to know first is "Why not?", What big problem have I overlooked?

I'd be aiming for somewhere around the 100 to 130Bhp mark. Would a standard engine "Self dissemble" before I got close to that? Could I get away without dropping the CR? Would bit's of gearbox and CV joint fall out onto the road the first time I dropped the clutch in anger?...... Or if the K11's too fragile to even contemplate doing this too, What other cheap little "Kei car's" should I be looking at?

As I said, At the minute I'm just wondering if it COULD be done before I spend lots of time working out details.

Thanks in advance for any (Useful :whistling comments you may have about this idea.

Rear Fog Light LAW!?

by Hami, 26-07-2020, 09:55 PM

I have just snapped off my rear fog light.... It was annoying me I sort of broke it. Anyway I fancy seeing about getting something along the lines of a brake light style (long thin and bright) rather than universal box rear brake light that sits under my car and wrecks the look lol.
So Anyway what is the law regarding the rear fog light!? Does it have to be X size by X wattage etc!?
