chris r Posted March 31, 2015 Posted March 31, 2015 I've had this (and many other hondas) for 7 years and been playing with it for most of that. Its the intrac model so has (had) abs and rear lsd. The orignal motor and clutch was toast so I chucked a sohc vtec in it. i've put 280mm mini rotors on the front with prelude calipers and its lowered on neuspeed race springs and koni shocks. I've taken the a/c and powersteering out. Currently it has a non vtec ssohc in it as the other motor is getting built at the moment. I put a midwing and facelift bumper on it Its Slightly tidier now but I have no pictures 4 Quote

Shakotom Posted March 31, 2015 Posted March 31, 2015 Seriously though.... I do like these shuttles and would love one as a daily Quote

chris r Posted March 31, 2015 Author Posted March 31, 2015 Stock rods on the right and the new ones on the left. Lucky i'm a hoarder and have a few spare gearboxes/rear diffs Quote

64valiant Posted April 8, 2015 Posted April 8, 2015 good stuff.ooking forward to seeing the new engine set up in there Quote
chris r Posted April 12, 2015 Author Posted April 12, 2015 I loaded this up with 3 people and all their stuff for a weekend and it didn't scrape too much. Only mishap was the exhaust coming off its hanger after some spirited gravel road driving.. I finally got around to putting some sound deadening/heat resistant stuff on the firewall and the stuff actually works. for the first time since owning the car I no longer get hot feet/legs when going for long drives. I chucked some in the boot and it has quietened the road noise a bit too. Got a pic to show the bay with the wiretuck Quote
chris r Posted June 14, 2015 Author Posted June 14, 2015 The new engine is getting balanced so its getting closer to being finished. I've just ordered pretty much all of the suspension bushes for this.I will need to crack into mounting the interfooler and piping as my tuner is heading away in 7 weeks 1 Quote
chris r Posted July 19, 2015 Author Posted July 19, 2015 The bushes finally turned up and all I managed to do today was the rear lower control arms. no pictures as of yet Quote
SiRge Posted July 21, 2015 Posted July 21, 2015 Good stuff mate, glad to see you're still going with it. Sold mine off and upgraded to crv because tow bar, then felt deprived of old crap so got an n360. What's next on this thing? Quote
chris r Posted July 23, 2015 Author Posted July 23, 2015 Get the rest of the bushes done, motor in and certed and then tidy the bodywork and drive it Quote
chris r Posted February 12, 2016 Author Posted February 12, 2016 No pics but I have replaced most of the rear suspension bushes and started on the front and found a bent shock (as per other thread). Engine is still coming along slowly. Had a call from the engine builders today so I assume they were working on it Quote
MichaelJFox Posted February 15, 2016 Posted February 15, 2016 I miss mine. I got positivity destroyed by a truck. Quote
chris r Posted February 15, 2016 Author Posted February 15, 2016 I got carried away putting it back together so only got one boring photo. New red bushed -wow so exciting. THey didnt have any black in stock when I ordered them. both lower ball joint rubbers need to be replaced (i'll have to think about a heat shield for them or something). All that is left to do suspension wise is replace the bent shock and install the upper camber mounts I have a couple of sets of these https://www.ingallseng.com/35700-35710-camber-adjusting-control-arm-mounts.html Hopefully they can sort out some of the caster too Quote
chris r Posted February 24, 2016 Author Posted February 24, 2016 Popped into the engine builders and my short block is ready. Its costing a bit more than I expected but its had a fiar bit of machining and will hopefully take all the abuse I can throw at it. I need to finish my interfooler piping off and dummy up the dump pipe. I'll slap my big injectors and 3 bar map sensor on the current motor and make sure its runing nicely with my base tune on the ecu before running in the new bottom end Quote
chris r Posted March 10, 2016 Author Posted March 10, 2016 No photos of motor yet. It got reversed into by a truck today and despite my hoarding shuttle parts I only have a spare guard. I'm in the process of getting quotes to get it fixed. It looks like it needs a guard and bumper/bumper support. Luckily there is little damage to the frame/chassis. Now I have a total of zero cars I can drive haha Quote
Threeonthetree Posted March 10, 2016 Posted March 10, 2016 Drive the Chebby /Gutted at Shuttle damage. Did the truck driver stop? Quote
chris r Posted March 10, 2016 Author Posted March 10, 2016 Open header backfiring 350 might not be popular with the neighbours. I have all the drivers details so will sort it Quote
