Got the tyres fitted this evening! going to try and book the car in for a 4 wheel alignment hopefully this week, actually feels good to spend a little money on the car for once other than fuel!

Will do once it's sorted! In other news.....lows are en route!

In fact. I've always been paranoid ever since owning this engine. It's really noisy. Ticky. But it always looks after me. Reliable. And responding well. I watched it bounce off the limiter 10 times today and not a hint of smoke at all. Not bad really it's covered over 120k miles. And I've punished it! Goes to show what good servicing does. New oil and filter every 3k max. And anything needed done straight away

It wasn't me either, it had the right postage on it.

I remember someone boasting about their 2.0l car having a "mighty" 150bhp and I turned around and said "That's 10bhp down on my 1600 Honda!" (Had the EK then!)

You lose dude.

Yep!

Holy mackerel. I'm gonna put mine up for 500 second hand then!!!

Think of it this way, you can spend the money on suspension, then at least when it doesn't run you can stare lovingly at it knowing your hard earned went into making it lower. Or you can put up with it being boat like a little longer but know you have peace and mind that she'll start first time, every time!

And probably advised you need a complete brake and suspension overhaul.

BeardedandbattycyclingTom!

But it's like £20 for a year's membership, so a good deal with the stickers And you're helping the club/forum out.

Well my shopping list end of month is: HAMP 'shortie' version Fuchs Engine Oil Fuel Filter Spark Plugs

good man.. By the way like your avatar, only just spotted it LOL

It might be small but its done some damage!

Waiting for him to just turn up at your door now!

Good old ebay, £65.

eurocarparts has got 25% off all service items at the minute. im doing a service on the smx and mine which will only cost me about £200 for both!! and thats with a cambelt and waterpump for the smx

Thats cool dude the new shafts actually come with the seals thats one thing i made sure of n the cv joints are defo on their last legs lol a new lot will see her straight

These are from my rally day a few years back!

Do it a bit at a time as you can afford to then! Start with the oil and filter, fuel and air filters, then plugs and leads, then cap and rotor if you need to etc etc!

I was thinking more along the lines of a fight to the death. But an auction works.

Well this is going to create pandemonium !!

Grant's decked deck. http://civic5.com/forum/index.php?/topic/7912-grants-pb-decked-deck/

HI guys, nice to read about others experiences I thoroughly enjoyed mine! from being purposefully pushed faster and flung into slides, to the awesome noise from the gearbox and constant popping from the exhaust! here are some pictures that were taking on the day!

Nice! I like those a lot.

I think this MB needs another go as it a stunning car. Build thread http://civic5.com/fo...g-term-project/

That's because it wasn't me or anyone as awesome as me posting it

No no i meant FULL service simpo lol the comprehensive one. Im going to do it in stages like one of the guys here suggested. But def going to opie oils website to get the lot the above items

It'll all be good man. Start spraying the bolts with wd now and get the wire brush on em. Then just give them a little tweak first and make sure when turning the head the bolts is turning in the captive nut, before it snaps.

Tuning time! First run untuned was 174.5bhp with mods on

And probably again next week.

Exactly.

No mate, I've bought oil for my mc2 my old lancer, my EK track car and my old durv galaxy from them?!

Ah magnecor leads look great mate. .I want ht leads and iridium spark plugs for mine but the combination at least is worth £76 and with magnecor it will be £106..so I keep delaying it for now lol .. looking forward to the USDM mod. . Should look proper nice with your car

Shouldn't top up really mate and do the filters. Change the oil completely. Look around, Opie oils are pretty good for oil and filters. Cheap and quick delivery.

It's like when I first got the VTi-S, needed a lot of maintenance work, still needs some but things that aren't vital to the cars running so I can afford to splash out on mods which I've done in spades recently!

Well said that man.

I'd expect it give you a reach around as well for that price!!!!What's that all about??

If you don't know the history of the car mate, a full service should be top of your priority list.

A well serviced Honda will last for a lot longer than 150k, well worth doing even if you use non oem parts, never under estimate the value of a service.

I have just had a look on wiki and the 1.6 is a 1.9, so worse again... And they're only 112bhp. Our MB3's are 114bhp from a 1.5! Crazy Haha, least you have luxury whilst working on the rims. I might do the same actually Someone else on Facebook said "A 316 couldn't pull the skin off a rice pudding" I thought you got it from there but I realized you don't do FB. I guess it's a common saying for the Beemer

but never enough money lol

The drive shaft seals are likely causing your leak if it's oil. Can only order from Honda but not expensive. Definitely worth doing at same time. Save doing the whole job over again

There's always one somewhere down the line!

Cruel! Good man!

Little bit of photo whoring after a long awaited clean. Driving to and from London for two weeks make her filthy!!
