Just come back from a call out. It handles like it's on rails, but I soooo need to have the tracking done.

Ok I start the voting tomorrow some time after 6pm

Should be 'ooooo fresh spam!' even Alex is spamming his own thread with fishy photos

Every time I get a notification from this thread I'm like "ooo an update on Chandlers Deck and maybe some awesome photos!" but no....

A few hours later... Bumper wasn't fully on yet, but I couldn't resist snapping a picture. Also note the dead bird on the grass to the left. That was under my radiator. Yes. Like a whole new car! I like a bit of amber so I used some amber indicators bulbs instead of getting silver ones. It didn't look like this a month ago when I bought it. Total facelift! Parked the MB6 on the road whilst I swept the driveway (turns out there's lots of stones and loose screws (???) behind the bumpers. Took the chance to take some pictures with the MB3. My old headlights were really fogged up so I'm happy to have clear headlights finally. Also with the resonator removed, I've noticed the induction roar is clearer and also there's a bit of classic B-series noise when the IAB's open up.

Well, been busy getting Ruby ready for our meet this Sunday. As mentioned earlier, I'd had her out for a blast one day and got serious probs with the front brakes. Basically they got almost jammed on! Found out the caliper had siezed on both sides, more so on the passenger side though. Plus the front discs, which had already been machined, warped due to the heat. Soooo, Bought brand new front discs and pads from Western Honda and had got a second hand pair of calipers from a member on here. Plane was to completely strip the newly bought calipers down and fit new seals, pistons, sliders etc and prep and paint them so they'd be as new. Time wasnt on my side! So, Paul came down at 3pm on Monday and we got busy!. We hit a few probs along the way, and had to head out to buy some tools (blow torch and an impact driver set as one of the screws on the discs was solid!). Once we got the calipers off, I refurbed them as they were actually in pretty good shape, so wire brush on the drill and they came up like new. We cleaned up the slide pins, as they were in a state, but were good as new when we put it all back together. Obviously being the genuine Honda pads, they came with new retaining clips and caliper bolts etc, so got them plus the new discs all fitted up! Then we drained the old fluid, which was black! The age of it, and the fact the brakes overheated when they were stuck on had boiled the fluid. So drained/flushed it all out and went for some nice new DOT 5.1 racing fluid. Job almost done, the handbrake stopped working for some reason! So car back up on the stands, we had to strip the rear caliper down on the drivers side, as it had siezed! spent bloody ages on it, trying to get everything working, and also had to work on the pass side one with the blow torch too! We finally finished at.........................................bloody 5am Tuesday morning! But was well worth it, the brakes are back to how they should be on the MB6, and are pulling her up nicely with hardly any pedal effort at all. I'm going to do a complete refurb on those other front calipers I got though, and make them like brand new then fit them. Also going to buy brand new rear calipers, as the ones on her arent in the best of condition, but will be able to refurb them at some point and keep em as spares. I'll try and get some pics of the new brakes up when I get a chance. Least shes ready for Sunday................just a wash and machine polish for both her and the deck and they'll both be match fit!

I also replaced the fuel filters in my car and my dads green deck, I tried a few months ago but couldn't get the bottom nut off until I tried today and realised I was turning it the wrong way because it was upside down safe to say I felt pretty stupid

Only in sales surely, ol' fatty couldn't pull your foreskin straight.

Which is exactly what I did

Right thats that then i tell him his car is night hawk black as it is just black

oh i was hoping that it wasnt jordan, they are like the best 2 mechanics they had, maybe they and arron just couldnt work together anymore, ive actually got a gas monkey sticker on the back window already!

LOL a grin worth sharing indeed.. Thats one trainee hairdresser shut up LOL

Well i can see one... They look so much better than the originals ones they have replaced

F F F Forteen Hours F F F Feck Me thats a good session right there sir..... But worth it for Ruby..

I love car shopping, spent last weekend doing just that for my younger brothers first car! He's ended up with a 2001 Y Civic 1.4S 5 door in maroon! Think it's an EU? (EP3 shape) Internet points to EU6! Nice car, very spacious which is what he needs as he's got a lot of equipment to take with him for jobs!

Exactly that, nighthawk is just black, no pearl in it.

No update, but thought if share my grins. Little lad in a tidy mx5 roadster pulled up along side, could see him looking the car over, don't think he knew what it was, that was until it left him in a trail of dust Very satisfied grin at the next traffic lights when he didn't try to do it again.

What, Mr? Or maybe that's just missing a couple of letters.

just gott finishing reeling

Before After

when she's all up together i've got my best friends son-in-law taking some pictures of her for his photography as he's asked me lots of times before he wants to do it, but i felt it hasn't been up to scratch for such pictures like that :/ my misses said she's guna miss her when its off the road definately a keeper i recon

Cheers guys!! Im so happy with it, nothing sweeter than driving a car that you have built you self. All I can say is its very quick! And sounds epic! The Vtec is strong with the JDM p13. Ill report more when Ive driven it again, Ill try and get a video up too.

Success! I finished installing the kit this afternoon and it all operates as it should, full remote central locking, alarm, hazards, door switch, multistage shock sensor, interior proximity sensor and siren. Features I didn't connect for lazy reasons include auto powered window closure, anti hijack and interior light activation

I heard you keep getting into trouble for putting it out there

That is immense.

wheels are going in the bin and i did not do that big scuff it was done when somebody hit and run her and done the wing as well Yes take interior light off and plug new one in and bolt up again...LOL I got plenty to be getting on with, think i will play with some primer tomorrow...

Yes...i was thinking about this option before. Would not look bad at all i think. I was driving my a*s off 2 times across germany to get both wheel sets...!!!

Thx for the tip...!!! But i think polishing mesh wheels by hand is a very stressful job. Maybe it's not too bad to have the Exip set like it is...maybe just with polished lips. The MiM wheels i would like to have fully highgloss polished as an alternative. I mean can someone have to many nice wheel-sets...???

Correctomundo! I've picked up a mk3 Golf GTI 16v horn off a local breaking car. The VTI's sworn enemy back in the day lol

Nice one, all our cars will be dirty by the time we get up to you

Got this one of his Facebook page...

VAG mod to make the airbox more efficient, are you drilling it? The feminine one must be the horn, that's the gayest thing on the car. Meep meep.

My proper black side repeaters arrived today while i was outside cleaning the other car so i took a break and popped them on, they look awsome will take some pics in a bit

You just need another friend called kofte to complete the menu.

I've even been stood purposely next to my friend Donna for that particular one!

Would be if it were females looking!

That guy is the d1ck of all d1cks. I'm pretty sure Ali G was based on that twat.

That's a shame, sounds very petty too, seems like it was bossman Richard Rawlings that had the problem. Only just started watching this show, loving some of the stuff they do.

Cheers mate. Looks gd from a distance.

LOL removing the rez box on our MB3 made almost no difference to noise what-so-ever but adding a K&N Panel filter to the mix and it did

I should have said other than aesthetic!

Did not do it as the plan is to change the noisy box and will be getting them then You crazy Madman LOL when i first joined it was in my profile for a couple of weeks till i realized this was going to be my second home and changed it.. Even the establishment know it the nutters They even went through a thing calling me it in posts and me replying saying i did know this fella' The truth being i actually really don't use it unless its a formal letter and i got no choice..I can honestly say i have walked away from a desk (in a bank or similar situation) and the person has forgot something, called out my first name and i really dont look because i really do think they are calling somebody else then i hear Mr Brown and they got my attention..

Thread needed.

i was watching fast n loud, they put a 363 'create motor' into the falcon which is a off the shelf 500hp ford small block based on the 302 but its about £5.2k, i rekon i can get 2k+ for my engine when its running lol

Already am lol. Reminds me of my mk2 escort spoiler but that was actually rubber lol. Still think it could do with another few extra coats

Excellent thank you guys you fill me with confidence lol ive just wired up the alarm side of things ill continue with the rest tomorrow as im bored now, ive been taking pics at each step to help others in the future, providing it works that is :/

I've had a few people ask me before and I can't remember anything exact. I do know it worked great, all wiring was done in drivers footwell. And if you contact hawk they can give you 96-00 wiring colours and locations. Makes install very easy.

it was a right downer for my day good, think I might just pop my steels back on and take it back round see what they can do.

skills nice wrapping dude
