possibly black yup or i might just take them off altogether,
borbets will be staying for now :(

car died yesterday lol so engines going in sooner than i thought.
randomly got a hole in a water pipe and started pissing it all out at morrisons :(
oh and damaged the front bumper, but we were changing that anyway
been busy cleaning up the engine

dirty thing

busy with my toothbrush :D it was cold hence the layers lol

clean engine ready for painting :D


complete opposites :D


im going for pink and white or pink and black in the engine bay, as that was the orginal plans for the del sol. swaying towards black as its easier to keep clean :p

this one was my inspiration for my sol :(
cant find the better pics of it

This is the only MK1 that i like, well i dont really like it i love it!

VTEC does sound tastey... but expensive. Its an incredible amount of work to make it fit, and i presume its going RWD?

I thought the civic VTEC's were fast, this will be something else :y:

woow that has gone thought alot looks good now!

thanks guy :)
yeh the vtecs not gunna be as expensive as everyone thinks, certainly a significant amount less than tbs/turbo. just alot of work
which hopefully IMaxles are gunna be helping with :)
the vtec has 6 engine mounting points wheras the saxo has 3 so its things like that which will need wrking around
engine will be in the bay and not RWD its only a 1.6 16v engine :)

Wow, Best not crash it again... In a saxo you will be mashed!

you should get the b16 engine or b18 will be fair better than the del engine.

its only a 1.6 16v so its not as powerful as everyones making out lol
kev i know its nothing impressive but 135/140bhp is fine for me :) its just the idea of having it in my car that i like

hello nicole

i thought you were gunna be mean

I can be if you want? :A:

Which engine is it exactly? For example D16Y8 or D16Z6.

As the civics im looking at are 1.5 VTEC SOHC, still very nippy

ill pass viper :D thanks though

and lewis its the D16Z6 as far as im aware
ive got a book full of RR prinouts from different garages saying it was running from 136.5 to 140bhp
its the baby vtec really, but was good enough for me :)

be prepared for it to vibrate a fair bit through the car, other than that hopefully it all goes to plan :y:

This will be awesome.

why do you think she's doing it ;)

^ LOL

Post winner

Awesome, that engine is far from a baby VTEC, bloody good stuff. Im after a D15B, similar but more tunable.

Good luck with the project :)

Just saying your brave for sticking it in a saxo after you crashed it in a heavier car :o

But daaaayum you will be flying!
Through the windscreen tehehe

what shape civic are you after lewis? ek i hope!
and thankyou for the faith tokyodrite lol
