AC isn't working a the moment - its not gassed, so the compressor won't kick in. Also have a slight issue with the receiver drier - the connections are a very tight fit with the EDM headlights, so need to do a small modification to get it wired in properly. Logically though, it should all work once its gassed - everything is in place anyway. Quote:

A huge amount of work has been done lately - with very little to show for it. As mentioned before, the car wasn't running right - idle was way off and some banging noises coming from the rear suspension didn't sound too healthy either. The boot had been so full of spare parts it was hard to figure if something was just banging around in there, or if there was more suspension work required.
Either way, I wanted to get it over to someone a bit more familiar with old Hondas than my local guys are - business is apparently very good, because most of the recommended guys don't feel the need to respond to enquiries or give you an appointment when they do bother replying. I knew of Icetronix from decades back, and Robbie there was more than helpful in getting the car in and worked on. Not a whole lot of photos to show for it - but first up was the toe arm bushes, which were shagged. They didn't have a new toe arm in stock - but were able to press out the fresh bushes from an EG arm and get them into mine.  The exhaust was also not sitting right - this was caused mainly by the new exhaust manifold not being designed for the ZC engine - so everything was under tension. You can see here where things want to sit when the decat was unbolted -  They made up a bespoke decat pipe which fits a lot better  Amongst other things done - a gearbox leak was solved, a new sump gasket was fitted, along with new oil and filter, a new front engine mount, new aux belt, a rear brake issue was fixed, a very squeaky steering wheel issue was done, front droplinks, rear droplinks, clutch adjustment and a few other things. Alternator was also over-charging - so a tested, used, one was fitted. The idle is much better - although not fully resolved. The IACV was cleaned which had almost completely fixed the issue - but its still a bit off when cold - so a new one was ordered from Honda. They also did a carbon clean on the engine using the Hydroflow system. Hard to say if this has any impact itself, because the combination of all the other work has it driving a million times better.  The car also had some additional security added by MDS along with new front speakers. My last significant remaining issue is related to my fuel pump - the car refuses to start once it reaches a quarter of a tank, which is a know issue with the fuel pickup - so that will be fixed when the car gets dropped in for the IACV to be fitted.

Fantastic job, fair play! Are you planning to hold onto this long term or would you consider selling it?

I'd be keen to make you an offer should you ever consider selling it, even if a few years down the road. Like yourself, for some reason deep down I always preferred an Si over a V-tec. I think its because the first proper fast Honda I was in had that 1.6 DOHC engine. My brother had a '90 Civic Si back in the day, and his mate had a CR-X Si at the same time. Great cars.
