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!

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

Wow, just gets more awesome. Can't wait to see these fitted.

Thanks guys hopefully jave some boost in there soon

David doesn't have a diary! I am he's diary, so just consult me & I'll sort it lol & not all ADMIN are power mad I'll have you know Mr B... Oops, just seen you retract that statement so I'll let you off

Who's the tallest of them all?? Oh wait, no, that's not me

It would be nice if I could get on her more often. On a better note my new ball joints have turned up today

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!

Fair play to you chap, 2's enough for me.

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.

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

I think to keep it simple I'd get my brother to do those jobs at the same time on a ramp if/when he can! Need them doing before MOT time along with rear tires but I've got a bit of time yet! Be nice to have a knock free drive though!

Because what she has seen cannot be unseen?

Just read your through your build mate, amazing job so far buddy! working very quickly on it with some excellant quality parts. Very jealous of the coils especially! The wheels came out awesome, really fancy doing mine that colour now too (mines a silver deck). If you do the chrome PB then do the rub strips the same (unless they already PB) and that would look sweet. If they are standard black plastic then do the chrome satin black. Just my opinion tho. Keep up the great work bud Dom

I think I might try that when I get one!

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

Looking good mate

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

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

Now where to get a hat.....

New bits! These went in already: Except for the rotor, the screw was absolutely and utterly stuck! Will need some special moves to get it out. I've never changed the leads, rotor or the dizzy cap (had the car for 5 years now), so thought it was about time. Especially for the cap, the plastic cracked around where the screws go in when i removed it! I haven't given her a proper trashing yet to find out if the power curve has smoothed any as some people say Magnecors + quality plugs will do. And do you know what's cool? When the doorbell rings at 9 in the morning, and there's a courier with a big box and you haven't got slightest idea what he's hauling in until you open it and remember it's some tuning bits you ordered in the middle of the night a week earlier! Energy Suspension motor mount inserts (evil cat not included!). Hope these'll eliminate the massive wheel hop i get during quick launches. In addition, i've got a pretty good sum saved up for something big! MeisterR's? Complete new exhaust? New wheels? I also need a cam belt replacement soon so maybe new cams and gears and a tuning session...? So many options to waste my hard earned money on! Thank god for a proper hobby.

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.

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?

I took the rear off of mine. Not the fronts though there useful

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!
