JEEEZ HAS IT BEEN THAT LONG!
Finally decided to update the thread after a bit of trouble last weekend.
Basically the timing belt has snapped cruising at about 65mph, so first port of call was a new OEM timing belt kit which is on the way and instead of taking the head off I put an endoscope (very small camera) down the plug holes to view the top of the pistons.
Long story short there’s no apparent damage or contact patches, few spots I’m worrying about but just decided to throw a belt on, time her up and see how she runs?!
Depending on the outcome I’ll either be ordering a new set of Supertech Titanium valves or a Hondata S300 and getting a re map for the ITB’s, which are ready to go on just need holes drilling for the studs
That’s my current predicament, car is good otherwise. Also had the front bumper an EK9 grille I bought a while back re painted, I mirror polished the TWM fuel rail and bought a SPA Design fuel pressure gauge to go on but I’ll wait for the car to be running so i can wire it up properly. Oh the wiring was also cut down some more and tidied up a lot by wrapping it in Tesa tape instead of the ugly OEM plastic rubbish.
There’s probably a lot more I’ve tidied up and bought but just Enjoy some pics...
