Fook it seems I worked hard on my cleaning yesterday http://civic5.com/forum/index.php?/topic/8016-simpos-vti/page-6

White it is then... Na I'm sticking to bronze because I know I will regret doing the wheels white. But it looks so damn good!

I had two shafts off them and both were fine

Will be quicker and easier to do 2 shafts than a joint and cleaner lol

MINOR PROJECT UPDATE! Installed the Heater Surround trim piece the other day - took a while to remove but it was easier than expected! Didnt have a spare bulb to replace the dim clock one but meh lol Definitely an improvement and finishes off the console nicely - shame theres a slight mark on the right on the surround trim piece - I ran out of Blade Silver by then! Next on the agenda is sorting out the front end: - Got a mesh Grille and Gun Metal H Badge from Snakey135 - did a excellent job but unfortunately I snapped the bits so the grille surround is chrome still from the one that came with the car but will be resprayed (and colour coordinated with rest of the body) - Headlights from UnicycleTom - his ones have matt black insides which were just what I am after so my oem headlights should be available soon. Saves me having to dismantle them as the yellowing of the lenses appear to be on the INSIDE of the headlight as opposed to the outside. Session with Scratch X validated this - Purchase LaminX (yellow) for my foglights for a jdm-style look - New number plate - one that doesnt say its from a VW dealer! - Purchase a Vti Lip for the front to add visual aggression - Then respray the whole front bumper including sanding down the bump strips and smoothing it flush with the body!

Really like the look of these mate, and top marks for making these up to sell. Nice to see more aftermarket parts becoming available for the M's!

ok im entering rover5 MB4 :D one of the best MB out there :D http://civic5.com/forum/index.php?/topic/7834-long-term-project/

I used j r too. Pretty good. For cheap. nice quality.. Hope you get it sorted man.

I got that badge will bring it to jf with me looks same as the one in my sig

Finally got myself a bonnet and bumper in same colour lol

Naked!!

I've heard good things about J&R, hopefully sort your knocking dude!

I hope so too.

Yeah whole shafts be a lot easier!! So might just get these then and have done with it!! Lol

loads easier whip the shafts out, new ones in, tighten them and done

Problem sorted, Disconnected the airbag, and then reconnected it, then went through the process again and it works. All good!

Well my lip spoiler is looking better this afternoon, I've offered it up and it looks much more like it, not the greatest finish but we'll see what the polish does. I couldn't really get much done yesterday because this was happening. So got on with some polishing today. So all nicely polished and waxed, she's flipping beautifully now. Lip spoiler drying in the background.

Looking very tidy in there, that blue on the rocker cover is gorgeous.

J&R on Egay, about £15 full kit each side. I got mine from there about 3 1/2 years ago and it's all good.

They don't cost an awful lot, just replace them both to be sure !

Looking nice

Possibly a cv joint?? Any worse it better when on full lock??

It has been along time so thought I would show what I have been up to the past couple weeks. Decided to start cleaning up and working on my engine bay. I thought the two tone red and blue wasn't working anymore so decided just go blue. Started with carbon wraping my battery and buying a password batery brace. Then addressed my rocker rocker once again. painted it black whilst the paint was in the post. Paint came and so did these beauts!!! also had a few metres of blue silicon hose lying around to changed that. and painted my strut brace dark blue but need more paint to match the rocker cover. but so far this is what it looks like. still got loads to do.

Have you check your driveshaft? Also check your wheel bearing for 'play'

it appears to stop when you press the brake pedal ????

Yeah my spoiler was coated well. A whole 400ml can!!

at the moment I have quite a few sets in stock to continue working with. all my sets are in good start pulling them apart so don't worry on the condition of the final product im sure once people see what they are getting at japfest and i get some photos uploaded it will be a easier decision. Thanks Dave.

Loving the new wheels chief And bummer for the windscreen, I finally had to change mine a few months ago, and got another little chip a couple of weeks later... So frustrating!

I would say shaft or bearing too then

Engine mount ?

What's it like above 30? Can you feel it through the steering wheel?

Hope it's only a drop link or something simple!

Do you know if it's the engine knocking or the suspension?

Drop link or ball joint? Is it coming from the front or rear?

That's a good price. I usually buy Bilt Hamber from Opie @£12. I recommended that kit because I know he's going to halfrauds tomorrow and you do get the QD with that, which is nice.

Looking good mate

so i picked this up today......... hopefully fitting thursday, i also got a few more bits on the way

Well impressed dude. They should have them fitted standard. Looks amazing. Love a bit of the old cow hide! On a side note.. If a cow fell off a motorbike. Dya think he'd be ok because he is wearing his leathers?

Agreed, good on ya though.

Had my car on the ramps again today to treat it with more underseal. Then something happened... Yep, I ended up fitting the sleeves on the front because the shocks on the car were leaking anyway. So I might aswell It will be lowered even more soon

Depends whats about for MB chassis, cant remember what u can and cant use. ek/dc/eg?? Heres the last one, was the earliest ever recorded VTi-S in the UK I ended up taking a corner abit too fast and the back end took me off the road over a kerb and 30ft down a field into a ditch I stripped her down and sold the parts Front and rear has been smoothed out and i love it They didnt cost me anything and thinking about carnival yellow until i think of some different whees to go for. Theres something wrong with you lol
