Lightening flywhel is what i do ,to pay for my hobby's.
On avarage i do 2 flywheels a week for the dutch honda scene.

I did the eb flywheel just to now if i can be done,and yes ,its possible



The meters are old aftermarket ones,same for the meter pod.Its got rpm,volts and oil pressure .
As the previous owner cut a big hole in the dash,to mount a stereo,i was forced to find a salution to fill up the hole.I think this was the best way.
I'm not a smoker,so in dont need the ashtray

Made a cardbourd tamlet today,drawn it on the lip.
Cut it out witch a thin grinder .
Test fitted .
and made the final adjustment with a band sander.


Now the GOLF 1 GTI LIP is on

Fitted my 2nd hand roof console today,
Its fitted with hight meter,useless in holland
But it came with the console.




The empty spot will be filled with a foto of my girl

I'm trying to keep up with koosjer,so i had to change some things
To make it run better ,
petronix with blaster to loose the ballast resistor


Hopefully i'l reduce smoke and oil loss ,changed the warn and dryed out 4 valvestemseals for 8 brand new ones.Changed beld and waterpump while i was there


Than the best parts
Trying the new intake on the eb 1 head,and it does not fit flush at all.So marked the faulty spots




Grinded the overlapping spots.



As i was there,i cut away the battery base plate to get more space,relocated some of the electrics ,and bought a slimfan for the radiator.
Spray painted the neccecary parts,
I did'nt like the waterhose,so used an old one to cut up,en rebuild it with a titanium pipe.Its a condensor pipe of the powerplant where i work
I made the vacuum hose partely out of stainless tubing.
I'm happy







This is my still rusty 4x100 swap,
Its 2nd gen hubs ,with civic 1988/1995 discs and callipers





Just use 2 washers to space up the calliper

Next ,anti rust and paint

Syncronised my rs carbs today.I used an old set ,but worked realy fine.It measures the vacuum between butterfly and the sets orifise,With the gauge you can see the off set,by adjusting one butterfly you syncronise 1 with the other.Mine was way of.I have done this for many times on motorcycles,i acspected loads of progress.But no,i think its because the intake manifold has got a ballance pipe that combines the 2 carbs.So that it will run smoothly,and pick up fast
This is the set i used



After that,i had a wash and drive.And made loads of pics.

Very nice. Your country is beautiful.

Spent some time in my garage today.
How to lower the rear shocks.

I took a civic 88/99 spring seat .The steal bush in the rubbers dont fit the EB strut stem.But you can swap the steal bush ,just press it in.No need to shorten it .It fits!
Left New ,right Old EB


Why use that spring seat?The rubber mounting is sitting on top of the seat.If you mount it on the strut stem,the seat will fall deeper over the stem.
The distance between top seat and strut seat is shorter now.So now you can mount shorter springs.



I did not take the effort to find shorter springs,i cut and heated the oem's .


Everething mounted.
I dont know how much lowered it is now,still need to mount them on the car.


I'm now brainstorming on how to do the front.


Is my englisch understandable?

if you want to swap to 4x100, cant you just make yourself a set of spacers wich change your offset? with your machining skills it must be a very doable project. after that just take wheels with a hugh ET number and they shoulkd fit your arches nice.

Good Civic btw

My 4x100 is almost done,
got some new bearings for all 4 corners.Just need to press them in.
I de rusted everything and brush painted it with steel pain.

For the rear ,i just made it myselve easy.
Redrilling

Put the drum in a lathe,and mark the 100MM
Then you calculate the distance between the hole with pythagoras and set it out on the circle.







Then drill the holes.You could now put some new studs in,but i find them a bit badly flush with the metal.The are not nicely flush with the surface of the drum because of the shape of the drum.
So i machined it,to surface then neatly .
I used some studs of a 92 civic,as the thread has changed after 1980.
I could not use the ones that were in if i didnt wnt to end up with 2 types of lug nuts.


I need to put the bearings in next.
It was not difficult to get them,its standard size bearing skf 6304 en skf 62/28 ,even the seal was a standart size

The front hub is almost ready.




At the same time i am making a replacement engine,to swap my smoky and smelly EB1.Just put in a new gasket.and a good oil flush.


When thats in,this engine is gona be next.
Its gona be build for power.
Its a 1300EN,where A EB 1 ,yes 1 ,is gonna be on.
It will make a engine with comp 12/1 almost.With the nice torq of the EN1300.
It can make 100HP
