but don't worry chaps i'm not leaving civic5,,, no way in hell, civic5 is my family now and will always be part of my life

a good idea but I think it's getting old and poorly hence the time to move on.nplusbits far too personalised for me. I like a blank canvas to do my own thing with. But tbh I think I am gonna start looking for one.

Yeah get a jeep you don't need a deck anymore plus I know someone who will take it off your hands lol

No mate cosof christmas and new year and stuff. Anyway still got the mb4 , never sell that little beauty! Just got a nice sturdy safe daily

So far so good, been pissing it down and still dry so far, suppose we'll know for sure over the next couple of days really.

I'm gutted I didn't pick this up better not leave your keys in it at japfest lol

I only want the car with wheels and exhaust system can take the rest off and make money lol

But ive always said that after the vti i will be going type R, i have had my m for over 4 years now so think its time, the cdti will be saving us money in the long term and that money will be going towards the type r

New Civic5 plates on.

Ok it looks like leaks are a pain in the Ms ,o and getting new fuel tanks and fuel sender

I just want to tick off everything on my current shopping list for the MB3. Ticked off alloys on New Year's Day so I'm off to a good start! - Front lip - Alloys - Lowering springs - Short ram air filter - Exhaust backbox - Headunit and speaker upgrade - A general tidy up of the exterior Once I get the MB6 in a few months I'll have to add a shopping list for that too.

Sounds more like a ball joint to me dude. When stationary they drop link isn't moving nor is the top mount. The newer ep shape civic have a plastic bearing in the top mount that rotates instead of a upper control arm. But we have the upper arm. So the knuckle rotates on two ball joints. Can cause squeaking and creaking and knocking over bumps etc.

Don't sell the deck, you'll regret it. Went to view it in one of what?

Buy Knight's for some sausage rolls, job done!

Miss them so much. Want another one!! Not sure I'll be allowed. Problem is I used to tell her something was wrong with it so I could upgrade parts. So now she thinks there unreliable!! My bad.

Do love nicks mb! One of my favs

Plans for the VTi-S, fix it Jobs done so far: Fit an actual VTi-S Gearknob. New thermostat. Fix drivers seat recliner. Replace clock bulb. Fit new headunit. Replace dimmer switch. (Thanks Jake!) Replace hazard warning switch (that I broke). Replace drivers door window regulator. Remove water damaged headlining. Replace rear view mirror. Replace parcel shelf. Repaired center heater vent. Jobs still to do: Fit new headlining, once I can safely say the leak is dealt with. Fit MGZS 180 ARB. Replace front drop links. Replace RTA bushes. De-chrome front and back. Fit clear side repeaters (Thanks Nick!) Repair and fit new front grill. Fit new de-chromed, de-tangoed headlights. Replace backbox (baffle collapsed). Replace rear tyres. This is before I get around to mods! The cosmetic bits mentioned above I already have or just need some DIY modding

agree with all above - ball joint was making funky noises on mine for ages before found out what it was. doesn't do it when it's jacked up because there's no weight on it.

Wouldn't be a loss though mate really!! Even if it doesn't resolve it it'll still be nice spanking new ball joints!!

might just sell the recaros, type r wheel, apexi, projectors, rocker cover, hens teeth fogs and carbon p***s and sell the car without those items still look the same from outside minus the projectors then the asking price should be not over the top lol

It's already starting to transform in nearly a week! Looking good mate

He'll never make his money selling it whole. Plus it'd be hard to see someone else with something you put so much love into.

I wish I had the money to save it from being broken I voted for it for COTY, beautiful motor.

On a serious note tis sad mate. But again knew it was coming. Partly because you told me although that means nothing because I forget everything.. But still onwards to better things.

Any one got a cheese grater? I want a sandwich but can't find one. I'll dibs that if ones available

sorry to hear it bud.. but you've done yourself proud with what you've done to her

Now this shit is funny PMSL!!!! This just isn't !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Never had a problem with them!

Used Billy at CAS loads now and hes excellent. Competitive prices and really good at what he does. Had systems from him on a good few of my cars now and cant fault the guy at all.

Nice one jake sounds good you will always been tweaking her like me with TRINITYD she only done a few 100 miles and already I am thinking of some tweaks lol lol

i have similar sypmtoms and agree with Jake (even though she passed her mot like it a couple or three weeks back) there may be very little or no visable movement when checking balljoints sometimes but they may still be knackered..Example i know my c.v joint is knackered as i can hear it is but it has no movement in the wheel so appears to be fine and passed its mot LOL

Are they plug and play on Civics? Went to visit the parents this weekend,so I decided to snap a picture of the MB's together. Soon.

No the one 5miles away ain't a deck it's mb6. Yeah was ment to be good condition

Project MB3... Essentials.. Brakes All round (think i have decided already what route im going) Suspention (as it was an advisory on mot) Just Because..... Interior (got some ideas running around my head) Finish exterior bits and pieces to tidy her up some more Make or begin final plans for the Engine Rebuild (i know what route i want to go) Project MB6... Just going with the flow and seeing what goodies 2014 end up bringing her as i did with the other M... Obviously wll be doing the obligatory stuff like Side repeaters Head Lights Rear Lights De-Tango And what else i don't even know yet but i will find out when i decide to do stuff

Great build man so much spent time money and effort kudos to you lad! I look forward seeing this at the stand will be there as well =)

more of a long term to do list than a deffo do this year but: get the p28 chipped and tuned get some bracing action (h brace) some decent replacement lcas get the koni shocks serviced slight roll on front arches to stop rubbing finish taking air con out (either strip bits out of box behind glove box or get one from non air con m) get a bit of painting done refurb oem wheels for next winter get brakes refurbed cam seal replace fit blue hoses (when things warm up a bit) probs more that I can't remember...

Ive pinned this thread nick!

No real updates on the MB3 so far, hoping to get the alloys on today though! Just waiting for Halfords to let me know when I can collect the trolley jack I ordered. Also had a little meet on Sunday in Northampton with some friends. Did 540 miles in my MB3 that day and it didn't miss a beat once. It's just developed a rattling noise under the car which I believe is due to a broken exhaust mount. Took the wheel trims off because I thought I'd have my alloy wheel nuts that morning. Nopes. Friends' Paseo, 325i and EK4. Didn't know the EG driver. Dirty car club. I'll get pics up once the alloys are on and the car has had a wash.
