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

Bore is the diameter of the pipe ,so like you said before the bore maybe 2 inch. 2.25 inch 2.5 inch Or if you have big power like me 3inch Basic the bore size is how big the hole in the pipe is

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

FFs to late again

Nice one, good price too.

Nice price!

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.

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..

ha ha i know but i've been busy trying to sort out my other car aswel plus what im doing to it etc

Thanks Craig, still deciding what I'm going to do but I'll keep it SicK.

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!!

I thought about stocking James Krzys,to get him to start building these lights lol

That would look awesome!

Haha! Next job will be dearer lol.

Yea me to thought it was gonna be expensive.

You're exhaust bore is smaller than MB6 so no it won't, you'd have to start by replacing the mani for one with the same size collector as MB6 (1.7" iirc) then use an MB6 cat or decat.

It definitely is, it might not be my cuppa t but I love what you're doing.

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.

I just thought I should update with this... With much sadness and regret, I have sold my MB. She was just sat on my driveway collecting, so thought it was better for her to be sold on. Luckily, my friend was wanting a project - so it's gone to him . I have recommended the site to him.. You haven't seen the last of Rhonda yet, sorry! (Yes, she was named Rhonda. Not my decision, I promise)

YES! there it is fair play dude im lovin it

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

Looking great!

Much better! I hate chrome

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

Orders? Didn't know you'd set up shop!

It would be impossible to make headlight any uglier than them hahaha got alot of orders to get through dude 1 person at a time.

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.
