Project MIELKO First Generation Civic SB1 from Holland

[Blackbullet]

I have been looking closely at your wheels.



Have you machined the inner surface of the wheel flat as shown by the arrow?

On the new holes have you have drilled a countersunk to accommodate the wheel nuts?

[mielko]

dont realy know what a countersunk is in english.But i drilled 4 new holes,and made with a special drill the edged side like original.Sorry cant realy explain in english :oops: as my technical english is'nt that good

[Blackbullet]

Your english is much better than my dutch

It sounds like you did countersink the new holes.

Did you machine the orginal surface flat that i have shown in the picture with the red arrow?

[mielko]

There are many "souvereindrill" that match the angle of the taperd part.Just find the one with right angle


i machiened the iner part,becoase i did.nt like the look of it,and i needed a flat surface to redrill.The hub is still thick enough to have strench .
To bad that the original bolt holes have hardened bushes in them,i cant force them out to weld them shut.I'l leave it this way

[mielko]

this is a opel kadet,for who want to know :D

[mielko]

test fitting time :D

Some updates:

Finaly got rid of the ugly EDM licence plate holder.Its big and ugly.
Took it out,and put a stainles plate holder back.ad a pair of small lights.
Job well done




Bought some aftermarket meters and meter holder,to make my own LUXERY meter dash :D
I also added a civic EG luxery console.Fits nice,but needed some cutting .



My donor car was a manual gearbox.So I checked out if the flywheel was machineble.
YUP,
It was 7,6KG ,now 4,4KG :D

Im not using it,couse i love my hondamatic to much.







Still searching for a cheap and easy way to swap to 4x100.
I had a trailing arm of a civic EG lying around.Took it apart.

The drum fits plug and play over drum pads and all.
The bearing hub fits on the shaft onely with the lower bearing,same size.
The outer bearing is to big for the shaft.But the outer bearing looks interchangeble with the oem EB ,so that could fit to.
Only bad thing,the bearing hub ,falls to far inwards,i'm going to make a bush,to make it go outwards. MAYBE it wil work?

Dat zoek ik later nog wel uit.


Easyer way is redrilling the origial drums,WAY easyer :D

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

[mielko]

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 :roll:

[mielko]

I'm trying to keep up with koosjer,so i had to change some things :D
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 :D
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 :roll:
