    My first time trying a string alignment at home - no expense spared alignment rig built out of 2x curtain poles, 2x builders chalk lines, 4x axle stands, and some rubble bags with white grease in between to act as turnplates! 🤣 It did seem to do the job though. At the very least, it means my tyres won't get shredded on the way to get an MOT and then on any test drives. Stance looking bang on now! I went to go for a VERY quick test drive and quickly found I couldnt select 2/4/6 gear .. oops. It was working until I swapped the shifter so I think it's nothing serious just a shifter cable adjustment issue. One of these days it will leave the driveway!!

    Here's a quick video of the Daytime Running lights. Excuse the quality of the video, it was actually raining and recorded and edited on my phone lol. Goes from ignition on engine started, to sidelight on (which turns DRLs off) to headlights, back to sidelights the sidelights off (which turns drl's back on). The flickering just before they go on fully is caused by the camera. They don't actually flicker, they fade in to full brightness. InShot_20260701_200316165.mp4

    Think it's because of the side it enters the throttle linkage on mate. Chandler on here did the whole wire tuck on his Aerideck, might be worth having a look at his project thread. It was an epic deck that one!

    I'll get it done one evening this week mate 😆

    Hi all, Would anyone have any idea on how to reroute the throttle cable on the earlier MA8's? It bugs me that it goes all the way around the engine bay and I want to try and tidy the bay up a little bit... any help will be appreciated (even if it's just a 'not possible!') thanks guys Louis

    Slacker! Get that vid done (or even some pics) 😁

    So, still not got the video done of the DRLs or the how to guide. Will try and get it done soon! I'm actually looking for better DRLs as I've noticed in daytime/really bright sun, they get totally washed out! Defeats the purpose! In other news, DD was shown at her first car show since Japfest2 2014 at Donnington race track. Took her to Honda Day Scotland 2026. Was a good turnout out of cars, photos are in our meets/shows section of the forum. Here's a couple of DD. Getting ready for the show the day before! Bath time! At the show. Bloody rained just as we headed out so she was dirty by the time we got there. Show was a good hour and 45 minute drive from her, and she drove spot on. Plan is to get her front spoiler and bonnet off and resprayed soon, hopefully before her next show (classic car show at Bo'Ness).

    Hi there! My account is all good and approved now! I made that comment before my account was approved though, so I'm assuming it submitted my comment but didn't actually post it until my account was eventually approved after reaching out to one of you admins on facebook (I believe that was you @Dave). Sorry for any confusion and thanks for the help guys!!!

    Little bit of progress today, put some primer on the rear bumper repairs, and finally got around to giving the bus a polish and wax - was too hot really, but kept misting with water. The paint was looking well tired, and still looked scruffy even after a wash.. It's come up nicer now, but could do with a MOP too properly sort it. Sorted a few other bits and bobs while I was on.

    Good stuff, and good to see her in the fresh air!

    Managed to get the car out into the sunshine today for the first time since October! I set up the ride height as best I could following some online guides (trying to give maximum "bump" travel) and adjusted the camber using a fairly cheap magnetic gauge, which wasn't the easiest thing to read but did the job, -1.75 degrees at the rear and -2.75 degrees at the front which seems to be a good starting point according to people on the internet who are much cleverer than me! Visually it looks about right comparing to other builds i've seen at least. Next time i'll adjust the front and rear toe using strings to try and at least get it somewhat in the ballpark. After replacing the steering rack the front wheels somewhat resemble this GIF currently!

    Mb/Ma wings

    Dave replied to Japkierz's question in SOS! Help!!

    The short answer is yes as anything can be done. If you have a welder, or know someone who can weld, it can be done. You will need the following: Full front slam panel/valance. Possibly the front crash bar as most likely slight differences. Headlights Bonnet Grill Front wings. The current pre-facelift slam panel will need the spot welds drilled out then cut/removed from car. The face-lift panel will then need offered up and aligned (probs best just tacking it into place to trial fit everything). Once your happy with alignment, you can then either get the spot welds redone or butt-weld the holes. Seam welds any bits that were seam welded before. If you can, get the plugs from the MB wiring just in case there's a difference (shouldn't be). Then it's just a case of bolting everything on. It's been done here in the forum on a few cars, including one our members changing the front end on his Rover 400 to the Civic MB front end so deffo can be done. Let us know how you get on and get plenty photos mate. Dave

    Hi mate, Simon let me know about the pdf you were trying to upload. Can you email it to administrator@civic5.com and I'll get it added for you. Put a brief description in the email too mate. Dave
  27. Dave
    That's superb mate. Thanks for the link to the cables and also how to adjust it properly. I've also been doing it wrong doh! Glad you got it all sorted.

    btjtaylor replied to Japkierz's question in SOS! Help!!

    According to the list below "Front wings....All different" so I think you will need to get an MB front end. Ones from a lower spec MB should be cheaper though - the main differences I've seen are headlight washers and the lower lips are different on VTI and VTIS models.
