She failed the MOT but the gd news is, it was only a split brake hose! Ive had to order one from ebay as no one has any in stock in the uk apprantly. He mention about the springs but said just drill some holes and cable tie the bottom of the springs down haha Other than that it did well!!

I going to enter grants http://civic5.com/forum/index.php?/topic/7912-grants-pb-decked-deck-epic-clean-update/page-18

They're so rare that this section of the forum doesn't mention them. Think it needs to be amended now.

Only just catching up with threads, had the friggin lurgy this week & been in bed most of it .. Thanks for the thoughts though chaps .. Havent done oil yet no Paul, is on my list to do when i come back from Italy though.. Although in fear of starting a mass debate, I think a few on here have a grudge against the Castrol Magentic stuff ... But its worth a try ... Re dizzy, i dont see how it can be as i have put a brand new one on there and it still makes the noise! Or it did anyway .. Need to try again with the help of Mr Paul @simpo, defo not alternator mate, its the opposite side of the engine .. WIll be going quiet for a week now anyway as we're off on hols on monday for a week .. Will continue investigating and narrowing it down upon my return I will beat it

Had to do a standard issue car park shot. Opportunity doesn't come up often cus I avoid the city center like the plague! Can't wait to get new wheels on. Gonna take me a whole yet. Really hankering for a change!

Lets get right into this shall we. Been building Honda's for 14yrs, but this is my 1st Aerodeck build. Its going to be slow and more of a mini-build. As some may know I am the newbie who just bought their 1st MC3 2.0i TD Aerodeck. Always wanted one so I made the purchase for 999EUR. Not a bad deal as the car has no significant body damage, or other REAL issues. Nothing that my experience as a Honda head cant handle. Heres what I plan to do: Lower the car Freshen up any worn out or damaged suspension parts Clean up the brake system Add a rear sway bar new rims and tires ( not too sure if I want a 15in or 16in tire/rim combo) New radio Seat bracket/sliders for my Recaro seats And basically fix what I deem needs to be fixed. As I stated its going to be low cause I want to get it right the 1st time. Plus I am building up my Civic Ferio K series as well. That's a whole nother beast too. So stay tuned cause its going to get started really soon!!!!

well this is my project its going to be long term but with somthings done i havent seen done on m's before here's some pics of it so ive added the wheels gear knob and a few other little bits once i get the arches properly rolled and abit of camber it will go alot lower thanks al hope you like

Nothing major on the MOT then! Why aren't the wheels on yet?

Well iv lost again... That mb2 looks amazing..

love this car absolutely stunning every thing about it look mint awesome job mate

This!^^ Dseries.org is a good sight. There are some right SOHC fruitcakes on there The MB2 is looking sweet as usual. The engine bay just gets better and better!

So finally got around to fixing the bumper and headlight yesterday And a couple of pics while I was on and the sub was shining .

Quite a few of us do have a problem with castrol as it seems to make the top end rattle which I imagine would make your problem harder to diagnose. Hope you get it sorted and have good holiday.

I know it an old post I replying to but in regards to your pistons sleeves I have no idea how much sleeves are but if you plan to turbo it I would look into vitara pistons and eagle rods I've heard it's the cheapest way to forge a d series ready for a turbo, dseries.org will have all the info you could ever want on fitting a chu chu to your car

Would be an easily won contest though mate For any month to be fair lol .. @phill1975 cheers fella

No point wasting your time with this just swop it for my mb6

I'd enter but I'm not going up against my Swindon neighbour Grant! Maybe nxt month

Yep that's it mate! Got there in the end

japfest

il enter my ongoing, ever changing mb2 project. http://civic5.com/forum/index.php/topic/8081-stephens-mb2-d15b-vtec-turbo-project-ongoing/

One of the 1st things I did was clean the car. Sorry there are not that many pictures of this process, but you get the idea. I used a mixture of Wool lite dark, Ariel laundry soap, water, and a steam cleaner to clean up the seats and carpet. Pulled the seats out OMG!!!!!! I am sooooo rich!!! 1 Free Euro. So In reality I only paid 998EUR for the car. Score for me. I still needed to get this to pass inspection so I knocked out the brake rotors and pads. And man let me tell, I am glad I did. Theses things would make a baby cry just by looking at them, but I guess this is normal for European salt roads. All done. Even though they grip sooo much better I am contemplating upgrading to a bigger rotor and caliper. That's all for now. I have a OEM VTi VSM front lip on the way. Should be here soon.

its all they had in the shop i wanted yellow you can't see them so its not so bad just when i went to cleaning the wheels all you see is nasty looking callipers so red it was right been a while since i posted any thing on here but theres some updates not a lot but progress is progress fineally got some wind deflectors deffinately worth there money got some skunk2 rear lca's and beaks bar and picked up for only 134 squids an eldbrock performa x manifold was a bitch to fit as its was meant for a d16y8 engine and the w4 that i have in mine is very similar but being a 2000 model it has air injection and a ridiculous amount of vacuums and later found out that the manifold was for a z6 had to modify my injectors and inlet gasket and a few other bits but its on and works and makes a dirrty noise in and out of vtec only problem is today i have idle hunt just got to properly blank one of the vacuums after fitting it me and a mate took it out for a test drive and i went and shaped my drive shaft in the box aswell so two hours later i have my old gear box back in so apart from the crunch in 2nd 3rd and 4th and the idle hunt it goes very well im also modifying the bumper thanks all heres some pics

No probs Tom. Will get on the case

b****r it gonna enter mine for a laugh. Lol c how it goes http://civic5.com/forum/index.php/topic/7459-stevies-murdered-out-mb2/

Time for another small update Full leathers & black carpet fitted ( Dash to be changed when I get chance ) Got a vtis kit and mid spoiler not shown in picture. Will be respraying these in the next week or when I get some time Also fitted Integra 96 spec steering Comments welcome

right small update time. here's the short shifter fitted with poly bushes i also found out that the thing scraping coming off my drive is actually my front ARB!!! if you look towards the left of the picture you'll be able to see a little bit of white on it which is where i've been catching it :/ also something has gone missing what is it? this is the shifter in 3rd this is it in 4th it makes sooo much difference in shifting its unreal!! also this was my little purchase yesterday, i hope you like oh and this is another little thing that came in that box

Okay, so just moved this thread because I'm too lazy to start a new project thread... quick update for the new wheels from an 08 Civic. Little clean (with my wheels for the deck): and in the process of fitting. need to get some finished shots, but they look so much better than the originals..

Not on a pint though! About the only time less head is better!

I believe @vtec2011 managed to fit one to the MB3 he had?

All wheels done Had a strange moment, my missus drove me home last night in the accord, found it so weird and a bit protective lol i dont like being a passenger in my own car!

Polished today ready to take for some new rubber.... Mmmm rim wax haze Soooo smooth and shiny

Went to Halfrauds to get window tint but they didn't have any. But I did see this in the sale for 15 quid! The Aerodeck badly needed to be clayed and I never done it before. So I gave it a go and I don't think I done too bad. The car feels soo silky now When taking the pics I couldn't get the Pirates Black to show but it defiantly has come up beautiful! Oh yes I got the VTi interior in and the MGZS dash inserts installed

Who're shot!!! ( the car not my dog, she'd get offended)

Got myself a fresh mot this morning. All is good! The tester may Need glasses tho as he put thr emissions tester thingy in a nearby suzuki by mistake

Finally got around to deciding what to do for wheels for karen's tourer, and got some 17s off a 8th gen civic off eBay for summer wheels, which has unlocked me being able to get some tyres for mine... Cue cleaning my wheels and the new ones ready for getting tyres sorted and fitting... No more winter tyres - yey!

time for some more whoring!! got myself some parts through today!! a few developments over the next few weeks, also some of these parts aren't just for me, there also to sell. anyway will post some pictures up once i've unpacked it properly and sorted it all out!! currently at work till the morning doing overtime right onto the pictures just peaking out the door at work when i popped out to get something. just wana drive her!!

Rear speakers installed .... In the future, insulation of the entire trunk ..... Pictures: Nothing much, but it's far better than just the front .... Do not watch headcovers backrests I will change them!

Finally new rims . 17 inch 7J ET35 with hand-polished lip. I also finally get the Honda Accesory steering wheel: Was not in bad condition, but now it looks like this
