It started life as a 1.5 automatic and was converted to a B16A and 5 speed at some time in the past, but they never changed over the cluster. They're the same on the manual anyway apart from the gear indicator - for some reason the autos rev counter goes to 9000rpm. I might fit a S2000 cluster at some point (a pretty straight forward swap) but that's a way down the list of priorities.16vCento wrote: ↑Sun May 24, 2020 12:09 pmHas someone put an instrument cluster out of an Auto in it for some reason, or do they all have the Auto gear display on them?_andy wrote: ↑Thu May 21, 2020 3:00 pm I attempted to change the ball joint on the Smart car last weekend, as usual nothing was easy and one of the bolts that holds it to the upright is seized in place. For some reason Smart decided the best Idea was to put the bolt in from the disk side so that you have to take the brake caliper, brake disk, hub (held in place by a one time use stretch bolt) and backplate off to make room for the bolt to be removed, rather than put the nut on that side One of the two exhaust studs is also not coming out so I've booked it in to be done by a local garage, and once that's done I'm thinking about selling it and get something else, it's been non-stop lately and I'm over it.
Bought a new steering wheel for the Civic, its one of the standard fit Momo's that came on early MX-5's, and a DC2 ITR titanium gear knob (not shown) to replace the shonky ebay special that was on there, hopefully I'll be able to drive it sometime...
Yeh but thought I'd get it done while the dealer's service department are still open. Don't think I would have went in if they had told me over the phone, but I'm likely to get a new car later this year so want everything sorted now.
Not the most flattering picture then.
You should've seen it before I rinsed it - looked like I'd left it parked under a bridge at Blackpool sea front
