Could some of your wanted sound be down to the headers? Apparently thats quite a thing with getting the right sound from a 26B https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QkgnGoIHZMQ he also diddles about with getting a porsche to sound right https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OpdrDaELlIY

Ive had a good run out of Rust-oleum paint, nozzles seem good and paint covers well (in saying that the Matty b CRC can I was using today was fine too)

Yep my integra makes a whistle at certain throttle percentage (quite light) right the way through the rev range. Only really noticeable with an aftermarket intake, original intake with resonator eliminates the noise

A near stock B18CR is a beautiful thing

@d.p.n.s Just throwing it out there.... https://www.facebook.com/share/7F1VmVxbG2kNW8fp/?mibextid=kL3p88

Largely due to being lazy haven't actually done anything further with this other than occasionally use it. Be nice it it was manual but quite good for a average shitbox

When we imported the wifes vitz from Japan it would do weird shit. Turns out the fuse for the Alternator "sense" circuit was missing so ECU wasnt able to tell alternator to output anything Can only assume another vehicle nearby on the wharf or ship needed a fuse so they grabbed on from the vitz

Got sidetracked getting the Integra a WOF and driving that recently but today decided to give fixing the leather on the drivers seat a crack. Initially it looked like this, I think mostly due to the seatbelt buckle always hanging there and getting squished when you get in Bought a leather repair kit off ebay for $50, which provides some filler paste which makes it look like this And then some dye which was pre made in BMW Taninrot and then some tints to fine tune it. This is it after 1 coat, it looks worse in the camera lighting but a pretty good match. Will give it another coat and maybe tint the dye a little lighter to give a better match Waaaaaay better now though

Im surprised you dont have a growler to test it properly. Mostly just so you can have a growler

Finally had time to do some stuff on this after 3 months of 60 hour weeks. Being a BMW it leaked oil, typical E36 leak where the paper gasket for the oil filter housing and the o ring for the pressure relief valve get old and hard. About $1 worth of parts and 2 hours of swearing at German engineers for requiring 7 different sized tools to do a simple job. new on the left, old on the right with its flat o rings (bought a complete new relief valve because why not)

Is it a mechanical speedo drive or electric Speed Sensor? Good chance you've dislodged it when mucking about with the intake manifold

Havnt done anything exciting, did an Aliexpress order of a couple new blank keys, a central locking actuator and some door handle gaskets. Have since decided that the reason the central locking isnt working is that one or both of the door switches are faulty as the interior light is always on if you have it on "door open" mode. Anyway, swapped the door handle gaskets today, exciting I know but they looked shit Just need to pop a cover on the door jam and poke around with a screw driver and you end up with this: Bits of yuck on gasket get cleaned away then pop this on: Not a perfect fit (because $2 off Aliexpress) but good enough

Finally had a full day off work so decided to try get into the boot The hole in the middle isnt supposed to be there, so someone has had this problem before..... Stripped all the wiring loom out and found some dodgy cores Taped all those up and tested it and it works, but the rest of the central locking doesnt. So when you lock the car the boot stays unlocked unless you manually lock it. So still some digging to do. Its pretty straight forward as the BMW Electrical Troubleshooting Manual is easily available online and has full wiring diagrams and component location pictures. Boot is fairly small but big enough for a weekend away Also swapped out the big long aerial for the little stumpy one in the above pic, I think its the OEM one off the CRV. Also pulled the headunit out to see why the radio wasnt getting any reception and found it was because nobody had plugged the aerial in...

I think they are slightly bigger than a MX5? Or maybe thats compared to a NB rather than the earlier NA ones. Certainly small though, I lost it in the work carpark the other day as it was parked between a AU Falcon Wagon and a Ford Everest. As for storage, not much in the cabin, has a parcel tray when the roof is up and a little storage compartment between the roll bars but thats it. Havnt managed to open the boot yet, that was the plan for yesterday but ended up getting called out so ran out of time after id given it a wash. Cleans up pretty good (apart from the bonnet which has been painted by a blind man)

Can confirm it does have solid front discs, good thing its not very heavy and not very fast
