If is the diff this will be the second diff in bout 2 years I've destroyed!
For a daily driver that has not seen a drag strip in over two years I feel the cause of the problem is not being addressed.

SKIDMARQS

Not looking to sell yet...maybe mid next year. Really dunno how much the repairs will cost either so I not calling a price unless I feel it stretching meh! Problem :The gears selecting, clutch starting to engage but you getting a noise like something hop outta place in the box and the car not moving.

SKIDMARQS

Exploring my options.
Either I replace my gearbox or repair it.
Offers invited for used/scrapped box.
Any advice will also be appreciated.
Specs: 2000 year model, EK4 SiR, B16A, manual.
Marq 374-6277

Zim,yeah have the stock headlights, no SiR rims tho

SKIDMARQS

Thinkin bout it this time but that will mean man go want 2 beat meh down to some ridiculous price.
I prefer to fix an sell but doh worry Zim, ah giving you the call first!

SKIDMARQS

I getting prices around $7000, $8000 for a used box, one week/month warranty not really cutting it either, so I may be worse off.
If I rebuild, at least I know what was done.

SKIDMARQS

First the diff broke and we replaced it.
Now it looks like a gear stripped, can't say 4 sure til we open it.
Should I look 4 a new/used box or repair this one?

X2 , the noise becomes more high pitched the higher you rev and the faster you go. Once the cars speed stabilizes, the hum is there but less noticeable, sometimes to the point where it is almost gone. (ie when you are no longer accelerating) The hum is also gone the second you clutch, but is heard ...

SKIDMARQS

Fellas, I finally back up an runnin but the damn gearbox sounding like a supercharger!
Mechanic says that the diff we replaced has a different number of teeth on the crown and this is causing the high pitched hum.
He believes it will "wear in".
Any advice.

Wayz!!!!
These vids really helping with the technical aspects of my project!!!!

Toying with the idea of 7 - 9 psi. What concerns me is the fact that everyone I speak to: 1) have a heap of spare parts park up waiting for someting to go wrong and 2) always get power hungry and over-do the boost thing. Read some good DIY stuff and other testemonials from the states so it seems lik...

SKIDMARQS

Just looking for feedback

Should it be done to a daily driver or kept for weekend warriors only?

law is damn law, let dem start disregarding d law from young and dey grow up to b menaces to society You obviously have no children...if you do I sorry for them! Whether lil Ricky was right or wrong, whether Cyclops was right or wrong is not the real issue as far as I see. There is certain protocol...

However...you dont have to insure the car for the full amount that you bought it for.... You jus have to insure the amount that the bank/financial institute is lending to you......for example. my car cost my $78,000...however i borrowed $50,000 from the bank....sooooooo to satisfy the bank i jus in...

I get 200 km to a half tank on average with a 5fwd b16a, I try not to let it drop below half.
Car always well tuned and the driving conditions are a mix between "City and Highway".
When you in vtec is a different story tho but there is always a price to pay for having fun!

SKIDMARQS

Bringing the topic back on track!!!
Should have known I would only get mods for cars smaller than a March up here

Saw a place with an ICE poster in the town center so I gonna check it out 2day.
Keeping my fingers crossed but funds runnig low

SKIDMARQS

In Shrewsbury, England for the a week, I hope my luck gets better with the mods search.
If not I've already located the local watering holes and they within walking distance!!!

When you don't need 2 drive, u need 2 drink

Regret and Honda should never b put in the same sentence. I'm on my second Honda, bless the b16a, and aside from wanting awd, I will stay Honda. Caught an episode of Top Gear where they tested the Civic Type R and it ripped up!!! I was getting butterflies while they man-handled the hatch....it took ...

SKIDMARQS

If the headlights different, u will need some mods there. Honda models may have some minor appearance changes depending on model but these actually go furthur than just looks as mounting positions etc are different. I can't say 4 sure with the EGs but I wanted the ek4 bumpers for my ek3 a few years ...

X2, I in a little town called Kilmarnock, but its close to Glasgow, bout 30 mins. Will also be in Shrewsbury, which is close to Birmingham, for bout a week.

SKIDMARQS

Fellas, I gone foreign so I checkin some sites and stores in Scotland and England, for some goodies :twisted: Already done: B16a, n/a, intake, headers, exhaust, short throw shifter, new ACT clutch, sufficent audio, aluminium pedals. Any suggestions on small or lightish parts, was looking at pulleys,...

SKIDMARQS

Yeah had a similar problem bout a year ago too and paid a similar price from Autonation, mine was fried and had to be knocked loose from its position, this was also causing my gears to slip and engage at strange rpms.

SKIDMARQS

Had this problem already.......TWICE on the same d15 engine! The second time my gf damaged the crank and I had 2 call down a new engine. :( Apparently it is a fault with these engines as my first crankshaft pulley was entirely stripped of its teeth. The second had a piece broken off! Be careful if r...

Once your fabricator has a bracket to compare it 2, getting it made is not difficult. Even without the bracket, it will just take a good fabricator a little longer. This will save you plenty headache and some money 2, ask anybody who did an engine swap and you'll see how much time and energy is save...

SKIDMARQS

A greater difference might be felt on a rwd vehicle @ dex.
Ah sure this will help a certain 2nd gen

JK
But where would b d fun in dat!

SKIDMARQS

The guys logic is hard to argue with but I'm no xpert.

My mechanic is a rather onorthodox guy but common sense is his forte, I'll pass this by him n see what he says.
