yeah, the auxiliary belt were well past it. so glad there changed. all i can say is; if you do want honda to do your cambelt, get a water pump from tegiwa, and if it does need it, it's not a 2day wait to get one from belgium.

Finished the painting inside Some pics of the of the painting and me doing a game/drag/race face with no seat XD

Just thought I'd share a bit of useful info I came across fitting the leathers into my VTi-S. My original seats are from a facelift and the leathers are pre-facelift. The fronts are bolt off/bolt on which is fine. The rears aren't entirely the same, small differences. Rear catches/hooks/hoops: Facelift on the left and pre-facelift on the right. Note the bolt hole sizes are different with facelift being 10mm, I have to bore out the pre-facelift catch and make the holes a bit wider too so they'd line up on the bulkhead. This is not a threaded hole so is fine. Note here the different fixings used for each type of catch: Also had the same issue with the rear seatback brackets, pre-facelift has smaller holes but aren't threaded so made bigger with a drill! Also don't remove and the refit upside down like I did.... Also these brackets are different between pre and face-lifted interiors, not interchangable. Another thing, the bit of plastic trim the catches sit in are interchangable and if you can I would recommend you do change them, least that way you won't need to cut any of it or have smaller catches in a larger hole, just looks better in my opinion. Finally, seatbelts, pre-facelift has center lap belt and facelift has 3-point middle (same as the end ones known as 3x3). If you are changing from pre-facelift to facelift or the other way around you will need to transfer the rear seat belt anchors over as well, bolt-off/bolt on job. Hope this is helpful!

That would be awesome. No. Classic, stanced, hellaflush, race, best japanese car picture thread

I striped off all the old fabric and foam with a wire brush. Then lined it with a foam backed headlining fabric I found on egay, sprayed both parts with glue then stuck together. Used a wallpaper seam roller to smooth it over

Aaaand they're on! Looking mean! Night shots: Looks good in my opinion, not much more to do on this now!

Chrome gone, badges gone

get washing for japfest now!!!. just remember kids peanut butter on ya black trims

Tripod they call him!

i might have some harnesses i'll have a gander, how many dual filament ones? 2?

glad its back and sorted, 210 for a cambelt is reasonable! but flipping heck they soon make it up with all the other bits 40 odd quid for aux belts each! crazy. leaset its all good to go now with some peace of mind.

Mid spoiler?!

I have a slightly worn one but it's my spare if the metal one gets too cold to put a hat over

Yes boss.

I have Civic bulb holders so that's what I used, good to know others use the same type of locks though! As you said, it's an easy enough job, I used block connectors to make life easier.

Wow that was quick on the paint!

Ruddy heck, that paint turned up sharpish.

There is a good how to in the tech section on here for changing the fuel filter. If you unscrew the petrol cap that depressurizes the system so you don't lose much fuel. Where did you get that knob from??

Specific loom you say? http://civic5.com/forum/index.php?/classifieds/item/9-aerodeck-rear-lights-loom-and-led-indicators/

With Jif shampoo.

Thank Sir Nick !

Might as well wash it with a brick dipped in a puddle!!

Ye should check that more often really

Ah right, that'll change with the seats! Its part of the backrest section!

No worries mate!

Basically yes! But not by the local car wash, I have a mate who does mobile valeting so I'll get him round to give it a going over! I need to acquire some gear so I can start doing it myself! Been many years since anyone at home bothered so as you can imagine anything that's left is probably no good or just cheap/poor!

Very helpfull mate as when i get round to getting leathers for project MB3 i intend on going for a later 3 point and mins is the lap belt style

I'll get mine cleaned before driving down but it won't be a patch on the others that have been done to the level yours got done!

It's easy mate, you need a pair of tail light bulb holders with wiring and for the above set up which I have the same, just join the same coloured wires together, remove the reverse light bulb and put the fog in that spot with a red bulb on it! On the holder for the top stop/tails I used a Stanley blade to shave the small line off the side as it stops the holders going in, the two main locks are enough to hold them in!

Do you know i think i was being completely stupid .. I didnt think you could do this with a deck! I need it done! now ! Any chance of a how too?

Really need to put together my list on here. Have one on my phone, need to transfer it when i have a dull half hour at work !

going to paint it granada black with the rest of bits,,,, ive taken all the chrome off the car.........to be adding some to the dials

I looked it up that thang is sweet! Went for crazy money lol Got more stickers come thru the post

mine are like that on the rear, rubbed like hell to start with but now its worn away a bit doesn't do it anymore

k no problem ...

Lights look great with a slight tint! Hmmmmm de-chrome IMO!

Rear lights tinted as well just need to get shot of the chrome but a small part of me likes it as it's a tiny bit of standard on the car

Especially if we can all go in together.

All done!! Spot the mistake!

Here's the interior so far! Needs a bit of treatment but not bad generally! Front end complete! This was how the rear had to be left last night as time ran out! Door cards So that's all for now!

me too. loving the look of my car again. aint jealous of the wifes car no more lol

Yeah but I don't like to be too aggressive about it, well not all the time.

I probably already said it on the 1st page.

The horn has been replaced and works (happy)! And new handles here. Tomorrow I will install them ...
