Project SiR

I bet that was a shock!

On the bright side Rob, as Gareth says, these things are getting more rare all of the time. As a medium to long term bet, this should be a winner.

Once you're on a circuit, Vtec wound up and you're pinging through the gears, the memories of a bit of welding will be long gone.

Thats not rust mate !!!!
Just a little corrosion in our book

PMSL glad she is all coming together

right time for a quick update

all the welding has been done and i have spent my evening getting high on seam sealant, spray paint and wax oil :lol:

just gotta bolt the side skirts and interior back in

hopefully gearbox will be sorted later during the week

then its time to get her mapped - with matts help

pics of some of the work are below

Looks good and the only way to preserve all of the good work that's been done

Good skills

ok the gearbox was removed today to indentify the reason the car had problems selecting gears

i was told by the previous owner that the car had only just had a clutch change....so you can guess my surprize when i was saw this

time to spot the difference with the clutch faces...hmmm :lol:




going to see if i can find the receipt for it...as this is an absolute disgrace :evil:

if i do find the receipt i dont think i will be accepting a replacement - not if this pile of s**t is anything to go by

just about to purchase some new wheels for the SiR

what do people think of these??

Sorry to see the state of the clutch Rob. Looks like one face just sheared off the rivets completely. I know it was changed by Mr Clutch in Norwich not many miles ago as I delivered it to them myself, but I wasnt driving it when the clutch failed.

i think this car will be the death of me

new issue of the day - water pump leaking :lol: :lol: :lol:

i've got to laugh otherwise

so new belts, cambelt and water pump tomorrow then :x :x :x :x

anyway on a positive note got the side skirts back on and the replacement wheels look 8)

also found the time after work to throw the rear strutbrace on

[Rob_B]

car went out for a first drive today...rey :-D

also changed the spark plugs...do these look like a car which has been run rich im thinking the opposite

[Stuart]

To be honest, I think you're over reacting with the car

It's a nice, rare JDM model, overall great spec and even better considering it was a Cat D

Only kidding buddy. Once you out there in permanent V-tec mode, all of these niggles will pale into insignificance.

The car os looking great by the way. Those new hoops turned up yet?
