Another +1 for fucked battery

Attacked the dizzy with a angle grinder today to remove the internal coil mounts and trimmed the shaft where the rotor used to go. The later motors don't have a vtec oil pressure switch and the Solenoids have a blanking bolt, I nabbed one in one of my pap/zebra missions and fitted that today too

Chasing j they were $$ Aliexpress has some that look pretty much the same which I have on the way. I'll compare and see how Chinese the alix ones are https://m.aliexpress.com/item/4000537133707.html?spm=a2g0n.orderlist-amp.item.4000537133707&aff_trace_key=5b4e6b84b29740689c9617a4be6ac6ad-1624179434015-03641-UneMJZVf&aff_platform=msite&m_page_id=9033amp-RlaQPPI1RK9Ao0zpd277jQ1624255904508&browser_id=0838eb2e55634413b5c0f67ca64b6672&is_c=N Or these with some washers https://m.aliexpress.com/item/32234809314.html?spm=a2g0n.orderlist-amp.item.32234809314&aff_trace_key=5b4e6b84b29740689c9617a4be6ac6ad-1624179434015-03641-UneMJZVf&aff_platform=msite&m_page_id=1854amp-RlaQPPI1RK9Ao0zpd277jQ1624255919374&browser_id=0838eb2e55634413b5c0f67ca64b6672&is_c=N

Popped down to Wellington a few weeks ago for a family get together and squeezed in a quick pick a part trip. Grabbed a intake manifold I've been looking for for ages. Honda Barrys say its the best stock factory manifold and has similar performance to the spenny aftermarket manifolds. Had a nosey around and found a rover civic thing that had a interesting rocker cover so I grabbed that. Motor had only done 57000 km so seals etc were mint. (not leaking as much as what's on there now). I also found the correct dizzy for the motor that's in there now so I'll have timing in the right spot and have more than one bolt holding the dizzy in Wanged the rocker cover on over the weekend

It's factory. I've robbed a few of them for the cables

R33 skidlines have battery in boot and decent sized (25 or 35mm) cable. Cheap from pap if you don't value your time

Probably should get around to putting the other weber back on

So the missing fuel pump turned out to be missing nuts and washers from that kit. Will aliexpress some in along with a appropriate hole saw. Fuel pump probaby is more powerful than the 202

The radium bits turned up at work today. I'll have to figure out what size to cut the foam into and where to put it but there should be plenty to play with

Made a light fitting the other day out of some pallet wood and the rods out of a cable drum. Aliexpress WiFi dimmer so you can control it from bed for max mood lighting

Cracked the 20 sec mark at drag day. So headers and a exhaust didn't do shit (surprise surprise!) despite the Barrys saying 'it really wakes up the 202" I've been thinking about various ways of sorting the fuel supply side of the injection, had various barry schemes with fittings in the tank and various aliexpress things. I decided against barrying that too much as I don't really want to burn the car down I was looking through a suppliers at work scratch and dent section (damaged by courier/returned missing parts) online. There was a aeromotive phantom system less fuel pump which was at a price I couldn't say no to I've got a warranty fuel pump that had the outlet hose snapped off that I epoxied back on so the barry in me is happy That's still in the states waiting on some other stuff I ordered for the Honda so here's a pic of a complete kit

Spent money I shouldn't on fancy titanium dress up stuff and some new rocker cover seals/washers I've been having a bit of fuel surge when under half a tank since fitting a different fuel pump. I'll need to check I've not installed it too high. The shuttles have a saddle tank to clear the diff/driveshaft and the pump is kinda centeral/in one saddle. While checking through products on the website through work I the radium jet pump which should sort some of my issues. I've also orderd some fuel baffle foam to have around the pump to try and prevent the surging.

Those look pretty sweet!

Only about 6 months shipping from Russia to nz

The barry in me is triggered. Wagovan is a trim level It's been a year plus in the making for this diff. Pre orders getting snaked, covid etc etc. But it's finally here

Heh, who hasn't seen this package. Yeah I'm on the phones/emails/admin and helping dispatch when its busy

I saw a familiar name on a order at work today... Hopefully the power boost from the extras will help you along

Road runner starters look like the denso style ones anyway

Not a hoarder honest... Dropped my gearbag collection off to the gearbox guy. Rough plan is to figure out the best bits, convert from taper bearings to ball bearings for the main shaft so it'll be a bit stronger and handle the boost a bit better. The diff was just in the tray because clearing out my shed and moving stuff to the lockup. Got yarning and he'll see if he can figure out the input clutch or assembly on the diff to upgrade it a bit. I like the idea of the intrac diff as it had a solenoid so I can electronically disengage 4wd for handbrake slides and skids to troll people. I think we'll use the intrac gearbox without 4wd selector as it's a shaft and no hub or mechanism to break

Dragday prep done. One new ball joint and a drag link later I've run out of time/energy to refit the weber and make a throttle cable bracket so it'll have to be the stromberg

Failed a wof on ball joint and drag link being fucked. Going to be un os and pay to get it fixed as I'm busy/won't get it done before drag day

It's a gn thread so that part goes without saying

Before or after you spilled 2t oil on it

Or solid mount it for the drags? Bit of metal to the firewall
