BB1 Scrapyard Dog - Mugen sides

[Merlin]

I'm going to get a pair of those Comline CV joints today.

[vanzep]

only a pair - given your track record you not better going for a bulk buy say 6 or 7

[Merlin]

They only have to last 200-300 miles

There is a couple of small issues with the BB1 which i want to sort but as usual it turns into a couple of big jobs
If all goes to plan it will be done in two stages

Ive put a rough note of costs for the record. And * shows parts already purchased or on order.

Job 1.
Gear box has felt a bit sticky going into first a few times recently so that got me thinking about replacing the clutch. I Also plan on changing the driveshafts over as both outer cvs and intermediate shaft bearing showing signs of wear.

OEM ATR Clutch Kit 22105-PDE-325 - £151*
Kaiten Lightweight Flywheel H22- £180*
Torco MTF - £20*
ES Engine Front Poly Mount - £20*
Outer CV Joint ABS- £25*
Driveshafts with ABS- £55*

Job 2.
I have no history or service records for this lude so got to think about inspecting/replacing the belts.
I also plan on refurbing the rocker cover and fitting new gasket at the same time.

Timing Belt 14400-P13-04 or Gates T226 - £30 - Bought Mitsuba Timing belt at £12
Balance belt 13405-PT0-004 or Gates 5235XS - £20- Bought upgrade belt Gates T186 at £10( 1mm wider than std belt)
Cam end cap - Aftermarket triple o ring one - £10
might have one here but would need to check.
Rocker Cover Seal Kit 12030-P13-000 - £65*
Balance Shaft Retainer Kit 06923-P0A-306 - £5*
Crank Pulley Woodruff Key 90704-PT0-000 - £6*
Rocker cover refurb - £60 estimate
Still to decide on manual vs auto tensioner route.
Might try and avoid buying a new water pump and just go with a new gasket.

It all adds up
but once done that should be it for the next 3 to 4 years

I might need to sell off some of my cherished prelude parts to offset some of the cost!

[lewie fraser]

Great work on the prelude.It does all add up but once its done! the BB1 will live on

If you need to sell some nice beloved prelude parts you know I am not far away

[vanzep]

cheers @lewie fraser ive just ordered up the atr clutch kit and most of the other parts from Htune - parts should be here next week

Brilliant mate,its going to be a fresh bb1

Well I really wanted your rotas but I just bought myself a set of integra dc2 wheels

[bennyboy]

Nice work @vanzep
I've just read this thread again, I can't believe how tidy this car is, especially considering how early it is.
FYI - I actually have an oem boot spoiler in NH561P in the garage. If you ever fancied adding it, you can have it for postage.

[vanzep]

Cheers @bennyboy thats a kind offer.
Might take you up on that at some point in the future - for now i like the total contrast to my BB4 so im going to run without the spoiler - i know some people dont like the spoilerless look but it does give the lude a clearer more flowing look imo ie/ less clutter

ITR wheels should be lightweight so a definate win

Im refurbing a set of 16" OEM motegi alloys and going to fit them to the BB1 and see how it looks.

No worries chap, no immediate plans for it so just shout if you want it.
