And thats why it absolutely rinsed Car of the Year

Well the idea is that the air/fuel mix is detonated at just the right time to create the most efficient use of compression and the mix. If its way out then some problems can occur. Suppose the biggest being Detonation. As the fuel could be ignited whn the cylinder is becoming smaller the explosion will cause a huge shock to the piston, rod, bearings etc. To check. Bridge the diagnostics connector to stop the ecu tinkering with it. Then use a timing light. There's a 4 marks on crank pulley. Tdc and 14,16,18 degrees before tdc. 16 is optimal. I wouldn't be concern about it even if it is out. ecu can compensate. And it's not like we're boosted up or anything

I think it's going to be a case of trying to roll the front arches some how :/ as with the inner arch... Well... There isn't much of that left anyway due to scrubbing already! Will get a picture up if the weather is ok today to show how much room I actually have between the arch and tyre on the front. I can't get my little finger or my willy in there.... Safe to say, that's a small gap!! More parts came yesterday Cheers krzys for the edit it's annoying trying to Upload pics now :/

Emmm ordinarily i would say yes but i think i may get in trouble now. You seen how power mad the ADMIN get on here i don't want to risk my promotion so soon LOL... errr what have i just said Right i retract that statement and would like to confirm that i don't think the ADMIN are power mad at all and in fact are the complete opposite.. That should cover it LOL

Its just about taking that 'shine' off it .. So the primer has an adhesive surface to stick onto ..

indeed the Twix was a well earned bit of day time sugar rush, i think they should come free with parts

Yeah! If you're on Facebook then just search for "Jim'll paint it" and you'll see what I mean!

LOL it clearly say "it was 4 or 500ml can too" Must Try Harder.......

Exactly that. 4 x 500ml, I should hope you'd have a bit left over from that. As Jake said the lower the number the more coarse the paper, 400 or 600 should be coarse enough to take the shine off and give it a key then move up to 800 and 1200, wipe it with a degreaser, whack some primer on, let it dry, hit that with a wet piece of 2000, allow it to dry again, wipe it with degreaser, light coat of paint, leave it 10 mins, slightly heavier coat, 10 more mins, heavier again coat, when that's dry wet 2000 again (lightly) dry, wipe down and lacquer building up again.

Wide but narrow! I had just gone into my settings to see what the rules were but mine just says I can have whatever the 4uck I want

6 different model M's aswell, which is cool

Nice list of cars again, well done chaps You gotta be in it to win it

It will get a sports cat one day, but it'll cost alot to get it bought and fitted, so I got better things to buy pre-JapFest!

More planning while I'm skint due to my circumstances . Thinking of redoing my front grill. My plan is to fit RED mesh to it and rewrap the H in black.( don't know how this will look so how requested it in the photoshop thread) hopefully get a idea there how it'll look. As well as that. Thinking of STEALING maz's mod with the mouldings and carbon wrapping them. Thinking bout the door pillar trims to but unsure on that. See how I get on with the mouldings. (Soz maz lol.) Getting my mg spoiler painted. (Plasti dip). Windscreen sun strip (http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/honda-sun-strip-windscreen-banner-decal-/170688196890?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item27bdcf311a) Carbon wrapping the sun visors Carbon wrapping some more plastic bits inside ( dash surround and on the bit where the dials sit if u get what I mean.) Tinting the rest of the windows ( quarter windows already done for anybody who ain't b following lol) Gear stick gaitor. ( wanting the red stitching one from ebay) Fan blades. ( we won't mention these to much tho lol rrrrr) Vti-s lip kit Cup holder for armrest Fix front bumper Rocker cover.( powder coating. Black with red honda) Paint some items red under bonnet. (Radiator support, battery clamp etc) That's it at moment. Have decided I have far to much time on my hands to think bout s**t at moment. Better thinking bout good stuff like my car and bike and family than dwindling on the fact I ain't working.

just fricking awesome . You know when we all get a chance to see this, we're all going to look like right bellends crawling all over the floor to see the underside!

They don't tend to be made of good quality mate and won't last too long. You get what you pay for with anything

Grant "EPICNESS" is the aim. but i still have a long way to go on the proformance as i will track the dodo out of it when it's not posing lol

Suck up all you need. So long as the end result is a road trip to this car!

Thanks guys hopefully jave some boost in there soon

thanks Mr.Brown from Erith, Kent lol Forever Changing keep your eye peeled

Indeed that does sound Geekarama, far to complicated for my current brain cell to comprehend, what with my current quandary of a boost or a topic. Day 2. I have de chromed the grille black and pewter on the 'H', de badged the rear end, that was a mission, the last time I did that was on my old Mx3 and she looked better for it, much WD-40 and foamy liquid on that, badges are mostly in tact other than the CIVIC one which seemed to want to fall of, polished up the buff and we are done with that, need to remove the rear tailgate chrome but having removed the 4 screws and grab handle it won't seem to budge, with my luck of late I will end up breaking something so I figure I will mask off the area and spray where it sits. I have put off the fuel pump until I have a day when I don't need to use it, safer that way, I can only think that a ball of fire is a grand way to go, but not today. had a Twix. Tomorrow, front bumper removal! Expect crying and gnashing of teeth......

I had a galaxy ghia Tdi 130 for a few years mate, served us well.

I'm going to message our Honda guy next week when I get paid to see if he'll do me a deal for the lot!

Is that the guy that does random ms paint master pieces??? Genius! Any way grant it's all about the PB by looks of it!!

You pair never heard of "Jim'll paint it"?

Only because you're getting the way of the telly.

Or just scan things quickly cos we're too busy trying to think of witty replies.

Im not so sure cos of the wheel design that bronze will suit it? Anyways today ive rubbed down the primer on trim pieces and going to get some silver spray from Halfords to spray up the trim pieces. Also going to have a go at cleaning up the haze from the lenses of my headlights and see how easy it is to get the foglights from clear to yellow. Was going get yellow bulbs but they do look better of the foglight lenses were yellow already!

In fairness I thought he meant x4 500 ml cans too! Ha that would do both bumpers!! Lol.

Must read things properly I think it's a 500ml, anyway you should only need about a quarter for those little bits.

Garden furniture belongs in the garden or at the very least in the shed.

The bigger the number the finer it is. It's all about sandy bits per inch. So 180 has 180 coarse bits per inch. 1200 has 1200 finer bits per inch. Something like that anyway

Thats the spirit mate. Nice plans as well Love the way all the M's on here are forever evolving into more and more immense machines...

Oh wow i love all the colour underneath her that nobody will see.. The next meet this beauty attends im already on the list

A week on and all seems well. No leaks found, checked under the dash at the pedals and all seems dry. So hopefully thats all it needed. Gav

Looking good mate

You and Mr B (Boss Hat Man) could start a hat collection thread.

Yeah, you can do it, man! And if the problem are the inner fenders in the front, don't worry, they'll wear out! Speaking from experience

Ok got all the bits for the stereo now though i take i quick photo of the unit, cant install it till we pick up the car on saturday

Was actually surprised u hadn't , seeing u r MR CARBON

Now where to get a hat.....

I like the colour coded lip kit more mate. . And wow those alloys.. that would definitely take the mb6 to the next level

Looks amazing with both colours but i must say i do love the fact that both your M's are white with full white kits to match. Its a win all day for me...

x2, sounds like you're making a lot of work for yourself there, only took me about 10 minutes to sand it back.

Nice splash of colour on the wheels. Yeah, like that idea, will certainly change the look of the car!

oh exciting going to say what wheels you are getting?

I'm sure colins would live to put that in their next addition of the dictionary I've never taken them off mate, are they easy to get off?

As above quite common heat shield rattle. But you learn from your mistakes, I wouldn't be able to change half the stuff on a civic if it wasn't from having a go and making mistakes and learning from them!

Love the engine bay mate. .the rocker cover settles in perfectly.. And the tow hook looks nice also. . Where did you order magnecor from?
