no i dont mind, i have them sold already lol, if not then ebay will do

Love the engine cover, how did you paint that? Looks like its green plastic...

looks really really good mate, the reen is a good colour perfect match for xpg, that should have been standard fit tbh!

Just painted it with the left over caliper paint. It's not spot on tbh.

Cheers mate very happy with them

should be there brilliant!

Looking good there Jay, i am still half kicking myself for not getting in for the group buy. but i really dont want to fit spacer's and i like my OE look too much....

Ah well, maybe i will get overmyself at some point and get a set made up - but cripple me with the non group buy prices i expect!

Did you keep the standard length studs Jay?.

I used ARP Civic ones cut down to length, I was concerned that with spacers the standard studs would be too short, the job turned into a bit of pita, ended up replacing both the front bearings, and drive flanges.

Didnt need the spacers in the end had loads of clearance in the end. Used 3 shims between the disc and hub but the pro race alloys had loads of room for the calipers :)

What alloys are you using?

mk2 11 spokes for me, probably one of the wheels with the least clearance:smile1:

Bit of an update:

Well its back on the road again :D After the release bearing failed, George offered to replace it but considering how far away he is and that the bearing was only ?30 though there was no real point.

With the help of Dave got the gearbox off and replaced the release bearing, which was no longer recognisable!! Between us managed to get the box off on my drive in the dark within an hour which I was amazed at!! The clutch itself looked good, there were a few burn marks on the new fly but didnt look too bad (pic makes it look worse) and now its back together runs perfectly again.

I few weeks before had picked up some steelcaged bearing off ebay for ?15!!! Steal!
So whilst the box was off decided to fit a brand new torsen type B and the bearings. I looked at rebuilding the box but after looking into it decided as Dave offered it was prob best I let him do it otherwise I may have ended up with 4 reverse gears or something similar :wacko:

Got it all back together and went to fire it up only to find the starter had now gone! So go a starter off Ross only to find a bloke round the corner from me had one so gonna have two now! :slap: Always handy to have spares I guess :)

Cant wait to get all the bodywork of my mates bike the im spraying up out the car so I can give it a real drive!

Also had it MOT'd today as that had run out whilst it was off the road and it sailed through that :) just need to look at a very slight blow on the exhaust by the flange for the manifolds. If I hadnt just paid out for the diff i'd be using it as an excuse to have the janspeed ones off Ross!!

Anyway going to run it for a while and then give it a good service with new plugs, oil and put new gearbox oil in,waxoyll the whole of the underneath and tidy up the induction setup. Then afraid its not having anymore spent on it for a while as im almost broke! One day it will get manifolds but cant justify them right now.

Tell you what though if it wasnt for the help of various members on this forum it would be being broken for spares as id almost had enough. Although now Im convienced im gonna have a great car thats going to reliable :mml:

Least no more busses to uni, cant stand public transport!! :laugh:

Worth all the hard graft and bloody knuckles then Jay, glad its up and running and MOT'd to boot!!!!

:smile1::smile1::smile1:

You have certainly enjoyed a labour of love with that one! Glad it's on its way. Those diff bearings, are they okay to fit with no seals?

Nice one Jay, a run o bad luck with her but could well be down to the time she sat idle? :) Good work though, now enjoy driving ze Zed:D

least its all running now:D

Looking good now James, enjoy the fun with the new diff, your gonna love it, take her down some country lanes and wind her up and let the fun begin. :punk:

Congrats mate, glad you got it all working again now!.

will keep my fingers crossed that you dont have any more surprises with it!

The bearings dont have the seals fitted to them, their seperate.

Jay will put a few pics up i quickly took the other night rebuilding the box in a bit.

Cheers for your help Dave. You should hear the blow on the exhaust now!! Going back to Salisbury to spray up this bike tomorrow so gonna sort it then as it's driving me nuts. Espically with my broken headunit.

Not much of an update as all has been well on the car, passed another MOT today as well as the bike so sadly now is up for sale :(
