Some of you may of recalled my thread on converting the 1998 honda civic si i had bought for ev conversion, however do to the money involved to convert and to go through safety/get o/s changed, all the hassles etc, i decided just to restore the car to its original best shape possible..
So with all that being said, I wanted to get the car originally i wanted to purchase .. the Honda insight. The first hybrid made by honda back in 2000 and till this date is the most fuel efficient hybrid
as for work/maintenance i've done so far to the car:
-Removed and cleaned out throttle body
-Cleaned Egr Valve
-Cleaned out plate between intake manifold & engine block (will post pictures)
-Valve adjustment
-Fresh oil change & oil filter
-Checked gap clearance for spark plugs
-Engine flush with sea foam
-sea foamed combustion chamber
-Transmission fluid change
-new window seals around window, and replaced bottom window seal trim
-engine wash
-clay bar paint & used a special wax to eliminate surface scratches, then clay bar again & finished of with a canola wax job 1 whole day of waxing .... literly
-repainted front wiper blades, paint wash weather faded and peeling.
need to:
-put in spare 5 speed tranny as per one in car grinds (spare tranny was sold with car to me)
-Install new exedy clutch kit
-flush brake fluid
-flush clutch fluid
-clean up rusted brakets in engine bay
