EP3 Flashy's CG EP3 premier

Unless the rear shocks have been off in the past you'll be cutting the rear lower nuts off.

I agree, I can almost guarantee you will need new rear shocks as they will get hacked up taking them off the car. You better save up for these Flashy. Your Cars looking great though.
 
This normal? Take a look at the bolt next to the vtc solenoid, it is not loose.

Did the valve adjustments this morning, a couple slightly tight and a few quite loose ones.

So does it pull harder up top now? You said it fell flat and didn’t make past 200bhp in higher revs. I should check my clearances too. Will have to wait for a nice day. How difficult was it?
 
I reckon it does pull harder. I find them quite easy to do, decent angled feelers help. The biggest PITA is wrestling with the rocker cover to get it back on. 20nm torque for the valve locking nuts, 10nm for the rocker cover nuts. Fourth gear, plugs out and wheel raised off the ground to turn the engine.
 
Updated pic. It needs a clean.

Excellent will definitely do mine soon. Been meaning to have them done even though the cars only on 67k miles now.
 
I now have a summer induction kit, the tegiwa will be back in for winter :D
