Red GX 'Betty'

@frank Do you have to use thread lock or anything on the bolts for the crank cage thing. They seemed to be tight in there for the first turn or so.

Team heko wind deflectors :D
Also I'm putting the standard 1.3l in because it's taking a long time to try find somebody that can swap over my pistons.

Ready to drop in Saturday after work. Should be alright until I can get my pistons swapped :)
 
So I've put the 1.3 in my Micra because nobody will swap the pistons over. Now when I connect the battery the alarm just goes off and it's immoblised. Can I trace and cut all the wires from the loom? I don't have any clue about what make it is it anything, didn't get a key fob with the car either :/

Cold air feed yoooo 8)

The 1.3 is In and running but the rear main crank oil seal is leaking quite bad and my near side inner cv joint has started making a horrible noise :(. Need to get it done ASAP!
 
Purple!
That'd look awesome.
Lovely looking car, looking good. You gotta come see me and show me in person at some point :D

Just ordered some new bits for betty so should be some updates soon :).
Pretty happy with the way she is going at the moment, defanitly surprised a few cars off the lights with the 1.3l engine and 1l gearbox combination!! :D
Also fixed the rear main oil seal so no more losing oil :)

He said, Honda's suck, I am trying to prove that not all Honda's suck. ;)

Trust me, try and find good footage of stock EG6's etc. Have fun spending hours doing it .. :p
 
Nvcs were only 110 or at least I thought they were....
