Took inspiration from ammarbm's MB2 for my Civic5 sticker placement. But for the other side I decided to use the "I Heart My MB" sticker instead. And a couple of photos because why not? The spare Civic5 sticker will be going on the MB3 by the way.

Got to work finally after it breaking down twice every time I used the indicator. So opened it up and cleaned the contacts at the end of the barrel and problem solved now works lovely. Cheers for the help nick

Mmm well just done a long run motorway just nice and steady 60-80 mph 60 is best she has a roar above that lol no going in hi cam. That said in low cam I can bee hitting 200+bhp That's 2.6 hi comp running 725cc injectors So got back done 220 miles AND JUST USED HALF A TANK :)

Nice one loos so mmmmmm sweet . Yes they where I designed them to go and why back a few years a go I had the first every on the windows . Well I did get them done

I think we need to ask Dave to get some Civic5 slippers up on the store.

LOL and you have put your slippers on pulled up a chair and settled in for the duration,

What about getting another I love my MB sticker and putting them the opposite way round to the ones on your MB6.

Thanks Jay hoath, I don't sleep much and a lot of it is done @ night .

Yes, I usually just use a wire brush wheel on the drill machine. I then polish with sandpaper and those sandpaper pads to get the real effect. For instance the VTEC solenoid and the engine mount were done only with the pads and sandpaper, the bolts and nuts only with the wire brush wheel. Yeah, we have a workshop (will make some pics on sunday) that we rent for 300€, but there is 3 of us, so only 100€ a month, which is not that expensive I think. We also have a lot of tools there from the workshop owner.

Where's the new project "Not going to mod it too much but might do by accident and need another daily!" thread?

Yeah I'm a bit excited actually. Don't know why it's not gonna break any records but I am enjoying doing bits on the car even if I haven't drove it really in about a month. Tonight I thought I'd jump on the band wagon as it seems to be mod of choice. Jdm style tail lights. The eg just had the outers lit as tail/brakes. One inner was blocked off and the other was a fog lamp. I now have the inners as tail lights too and the drivers inner still acts as fog lamp using dual filament bulb. Test fit wiring. Old vs new After drilling blocked light socket. Also painted strut brace and found A bracket to hold the super lengthy dc2 throttle cable

Nick can type faster than I can so my answers behind

That's true but its not as simple as bigger more flow its how it flows and how fast it flows if you to big you slow the flow on a small engine ( unless its turbo then that's a diff ball game ) Well if you need to replace the rust part like nick says best going for a cat back system

This is true but as Dave said with just a back box you won't notice much difference, if you got a cat back system that was 2.25" or 2.5" that would make a nice difference especially if you then added a manifold and decat.

I would go 2.25 but if its just the back box then it's not going to make to much of a dif , as for power loss if it does you are not going to notice 1-3bhp on a small engine you not going to feel it . It's all down to how the new back box flows as to loss or not Nick just answered lol

When you say inlet do you mean the tailpipe or the actual exhaust bore? Downpipe is the pipe from the manifold where it becomes one pipe. B pipe/middle pipe is the piece from the cat to the back box

Nice one, good price too.

Yer all this said I was not worrying about the fuel coz she was built not for every day use just weekend fun lol , really what I wanted to build was a GT type of mental honda so you could do long trips if I want but also be like a mental type R like they used to be dc2 a sort of all rounder . So she goes mmmmmmmmmm grandad drive and a then hit the pedal and all hell breaks loose and NO TURBO going on under the bonnet. Do not get me wrong I love boost ,turbo or super charged but you just got to love N/A tooooooooooooooooooooo so sometime after 5000rpm you go holy shxx

Ah! Well your handywork is appreciated. Almost forgot I wasn't in the EU7. Better make a habit of not getting close to kerbs in car parks now.

I'd explain the reasons why but it's a long complicated story and here's not the place. Plus I'm perfectly happy to be thought of as an old git. I am one. Now b****r off.

For god sake 2 post and xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx I AM THE GOD OF HELL FIRE AND I BRING YOU A B. A. N

(shaking head in disgust) Really Slippers, you old git !!!!!

Think it's best too yer there are a few things you can poss get away with ,but do you really want to spend all that money and drive around thinking if any what so ever happens you loose the lot . Also if things go bad and they say well your insurance is void coz you never told them could be bad you would be driving with out insurance now that's not going to go down well

A pipe too! That blows bubbles for me anyway

Stuck with us lot now eh?

That's exactly how it went for me. Except the 18 months bit, I've only been here since November.

If anyone's free this weekend.

MB3 mani would need to go as it is a catifold (manifold and cat in one) not a manifold so Sir Little Nick Esq's suggestion sounds the best route..

good plan, different from the crowds is always good.

Haha I've hassled James too!

sorry mate been really busy and haven't had time, will try and get some photo's tonight once i've dropped the misses off at work and then i can go from there will need a new set of wheels though!!

Thanks Krzys I'm thinking of removing all the badges @ the back and adding and on the front

Yea me to thought it was gonna be expensive.

Got it. Tapering nuts... New tyres tomorrow, then tinkering time. Hopefully my MG ZS trim parts will arrive today, so I have the weekend to tinker and get my interior re-assembled.

So my front tyres were completely bald on the inside. I went to pick up a rear bumper the other day as mine is slightly damaged and the guy was selling part worn tyres also. Found 4 Bridgestone Turanza 205/45/16 tyres all with 6mm tread on them. Got 4 for £70 which I think is a bargain. Felt so much better on the road compared to my bald tyres Tracking time. . Hopefully that will sort the problem of tyres getting bald on inside. He said my track rod ends were fine. Currently I am refurbing my dust caps and centre caps and got one more thing planned for the wheels so hopefully they will look even better once completed

Hmm really would remove it PDQ, having said that it's to late. I suspect it's been reported several times now

I think you'll want to delete this topic mate, as it'll likely result in a ban, as you dont have enough posts to become a vip and sell here.

Very nice what filter is in there?? One day I'll find one cheap enough.

Nice job there Bro, something different from the normal black.

Nice and bright aren't they?! Good work!

Just been out, in the rain and sorted this.....

This looks good as a cleaner, I might give it a go when my Bilberry runs out. http://www.cleanyourcar.co.uk/wheels-and-tyres/chemical-guys-sticky-wheel-cleaner/prod_909.html And this is a good sealant/wax. http://www.cleanyourcar.co.uk/wheels-and-tyres/poorboys-wheel-sealant/prod_9.html

Looking great!

Look what was waiting for me when I got home from work! I would have fitted it now but it's hammering it down with rain here

M8 wat can i say but wow its amazing how much of a difference the de chroming makes How do you find tbe time to b so festidious with the details lol

sick! as I was looking at the front grill pictures I was like I hope he sprays that bit behind it black, scroll down and boom you did it! I like the rear end fully debadged apart from the 'H' badge in the middle and the civic badge

So another update for you lovely people. Spent most of the weekend a while back cleaning the car and can you believe it, Installing my new Headlights So they are so much nice than my old set . out with the old in with the new. decided to take the front end of and rewire everything and make the fogs more flush aswell and to test out my new lights which work a treat. EVIL once all installed I started my long cleaning job as A good clean was defiantly needed. the last job of the day was to fit my stuke winglets which i need to remove the stuke sticker and make my own but apart from that they dont look to bad. and to finish a nice handful of photos of the car all happy minus the grill in some pics, as its having a small refurb.

Looks waaaay better in black. Nice work.

i love this thread, M's look so fresh in white. Nice work on the grill and de-chroming looks much better. Just need to loose the rest of the chrome lettering now as it really stands out...

That's the thing. I am worried about the list getting too big ahha. I was thinking of a B, but I am not sure. Will have to wait and see about what I can pick up . They're probably the cheapest way to get it "low". You're all worrying me about the list, aha. Although one thing has bee added.. Spliter, I think it'd make the car look a little "meaner" and could look better with it. Not that I know of. I haven't had a diagnostics kit on it yet. Sure it wasn't this one? ahah . They're a car you get attatched too, i'll give you that. I haven't had mine a year and I am already attatched to it. And yes, more the outskirts of the town though. Beelsby. You know where that is? Im near enough always down lady smith road. Supprised I have not seen it yet... Cheers. I'll have a look into that and cheers for the advice . And i'll have a look for that, thanks .
