chris r Posted November 21, 2021 Author Share Posted November 21, 2021 So legal size tyres that aren't race tyres don't appear to exist so I'll get some 195 stretched onto the teddies. I'll swap my re003 off the buddy clubs onto them as there's no point in them sitting in the lockup doing zero. On my pick a part mission i grabbed some components. Finally got around to installing them into the accord Annoyingly it sounds better than the stuff in the orthia. That amp sounded crap before so it could be my settings or the amp is just shit. I've got another couple of amps to try so that'll future Chris problem 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kicker Posted December 9, 2021 Share Posted December 9, 2021 Nice, I used to have an Orthia a few years back, always thought they were one of the better shaped 90's wagons. I spied a manual one the other day, mustn't be very common. http://noriyaro.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/noriyaro_honda_orthia_minor_car_002.jpg 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post chris r Posted December 15, 2021 Author Popular Post Share Posted December 15, 2021 Eugh non rock auto prices suck. I wanted this sorted before the holiday so had to pay the price. I've now doubled my spend on the car Pulled these out of shuttle (have konis to go back in) so time permitting they'll go into the orthia.

chris r Posted December 29, 2021 Author Share Posted December 29, 2021 Only the finest side of the road kitchen cabinets for material to make the sub box Fitted a alarm as there is no boot let lock and it's annoying havering to open it from inside the car https://i.imgur.com/5cBF7FJ.mp4 I suspect the sub is nfg as its no worky. Tried two amps and two seperate rca cables, power where it should be etc. Will do some more testing tomorrow and go from there 4 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chris r Posted January 5, 2022 Author Share Posted January 5, 2022 Had a nosey at the rust in the beagle Didn't look too horrible initially Wire brushed/treated/ignored the rest of the inner rust 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris r Posted January 5, 2022 Author Share Posted January 5, 2022 The metal was so thin it was either blow a hole instantly or tame some seagulls then blow holes. Cut a patch out and seagulled it in I should have cut a another patch out for the roof but mig wire worked in the end. Ground smoothish and etch primed. Seam sealed all the holes etc and first skim of bog Sand and second coat I'll give it a sand and another prime tomorrow While I had the seam sealer out I redid the orthia. I've got some silver on the way 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris r Posted January 6, 2022 Author Share Posted January 6, 2022 Right hand side came up good. I got a bit keen sanding and got down to metal so it's got another coat of brunox Left side still has a dip but it's good enough. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris r Posted January 9, 2022 Author Share Posted January 9, 2022 Such a excellent blend/colour match you'd never even guess it had been painted Boots on and lined up.

Popular Post chris r Posted January 23, 2022 Author Popular Post Share Posted January 23, 2022 Ac doesn't work in the accord and the beagle has a intermettent miss/still is leaking oil. I was trawling marketplace for a manual crv to pillage for parts and saw something tempting. The guy was hard to deal with and a bit abrupt/rude. We took it for a spin around the block, tired a lowball and he didn't accept it. We counted out the cash and he kept ignoring us. His kid came up to us and was like "excuse me are you going to buy the car or not" umm yes we aren't standing here with cash for no reason Ticks all my boxes, cheap uncommon, awd high km, ex damaged auction. Had typical cvt shudder but I'll service it and ignore it. Lisa loves it and has claimed it, she wanted something tall and small ish so it Ticks those boxes too 15 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris r Posted January 25, 2022 Author Share Posted January 25, 2022 Got some liquid gold today Strangly enough with the correct type and volume of fluid things work much better. It was two litres low, shudder is gonw now, it still surges a bit but I'll ignore that until it gets worse. Changed the atf in the orthia while I was on a roll 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
