crank position sensor. Nope, definitely pulse sensor on spark plug wires.

I am assuming this is important to the running of the car? Bare with me as I am still learning the e30 engine/wiring... Should the car still be running without this sensor in working condition?

Thanks mate :)

So, I got a bit excited this arvo and decided to remove the intake manifold and front strut brace with plans to paint them, needs a bit of a freshen up thats for sure. Rocker cover will also be removed and painted to match.

Engine bay currently:


Intake manifold is off (after a bit of awkwardness lol) the inside of the monaifold was pretty gross around the ports… lot of blow by oil i guess… will clean it up before it go's back on.


Also found a random cut wire, not sure how long it has been cut for, probably been like that since i bought it. Any idea's on what it is meant to be doing?




Also found what looks to be a bit of an extend and join job to bypass the connector plug… not sue why, maybe a loose pin or something… I had to cut the wire to get the manifold off as you can see.


And a few pics from the meet over the weekend:

Got my Raceland headers installed last week. Also got a custom single 2.5" mandrel bent system made up along with a new muffler. I originally wanted to keep the 'scorpion' muffler that i already had but turned out it was completely collapsed internally and ruined… The new muffler is a no name brand but looks decent and the new system as a whole sounds amazing!! Very happy with it :)

A quick shot of the exhaust but will get a better one when i have it up on stands the next time.:

Took the words right out of my mouth! The US never gets anything cool!! >_<

Great looking car man, lucky! Looks awesome in white too...and I normally don't like white.

Just peeped the Hybrid decal...those guys are everywhere!! Before they got as big as they are now, they were a tiny local shop in my tiny hometown. I went to high school with a few of their guys.

Small world man...all the way in Australia!

Hey mate, thanks :) Australia never got the Touring's either :/ I was lucky that someone had successfully imported one here from the UK and was then selling it, I got pretty lucky to be honest.

HybridRacing sponsor my racecar, they are good bunch of guys and great to deal with, pretty much all the parts with the engine swap in the civic are Hybrid gear :) I also rock the 'awesome sauce' air freshener on the rear vision mirror in the touring haha

Thanks mate :) BBS were actually sold just tonight. Was sad to see them go.
