Won't be til later in year mate. Someone might not want to pay what I want for the car anyway. I'm not letting it go for peanuts. But yeah course I love this site and I live civic m's. Still my favourite. Never quite loved the eg like I loved my mb.

Current State: Original post & how things looked when I first got the MB! (so much has changed ) Hey all, Just wanted to post some pics of my latest addition. Super stoked and excited to get started with some subtle mods etc. Picked it up a couple weeks ago, only had 1 owner from new, 51,000 genuine hpi, dealer and M.O.T backed miles!!! with a full, and I mean every single stamp for its age service history from a main Honda dealer! Couldn't believe how clean the car was underneath / arches etc. Drives like new and has had no expense spared. Couldn't have asked for a better start for a project. Hoping to start with some small things like some new mats, skunk2 gear knob, clear side repeaters...that kind of thing. then looking to upgrade the brakes, suspension and Chassis. Once all thats sorted I'll take a look at the drivetrain, As after giving it a good couple runs I was thinkin that I want just a little more out of it. don't get me wrong, Im very pleased with the performance as it is and I love the sleeper vibe it has, surprises lot of people which is why I deffo want to keep the body stock over changing for the VTI-S kit. But I figure a stage 2 clutch, flywheel, Full exhaust incl headers and cat, decent CAI, Skunk2 Inlet mani, Cams and a map along with a couple other supporting mods would go along way in making the car stand out from the crowd and keep me satisfied for a good while. Anyway will keep things posted as I get on. Love The Colour It goes in the Sunlight!

Your welcome. It's just the type of site we are here and

I was going to Tom but really wanted the engine in at the time .. Red engine bay has kinda grown in me aswell lol . Thanks for all the nice comments .

front end beat up Behind the Bumper and crash bar b****red Wing Oh Dear! Changed the passenger wing cuz it was bent My Hammering skills, (i only had a hammer!!) Not quite there but good enough for the road!!! Side view! Wing actually looks alot better then the photo

i have progress!! pictures will be up in due time And i actually drove it! ok granted it was to put it on the ramp and then back off,, but i still drove it for the first time ever! it was dragging its arse and apparently according to my dad, it was driving like s**t - constantly pulling to the left etc etc i'm not surprised with the tracking being knocked out and having a back tyre of only 12psi and all the rest below 29 lol!!! when i can sum up the energy to load them from phone to pc to photobucket to here i shall crack on with the pictures and those leather seats are definately going - i thought they was in ok condition but they are proper s**t. the back is ok but the front - i wouldn't even let me dog sit on them lol!!!

wheels are on. I really like how the wheel well is filled up. only problem is I need to roll the rear fenders a lil more due to the 225/45/16 tires. the rims are actually pretty wide and I need to tuck them in with a camber kit. what do you think?!?

Sprayed armrest today better than grey IMO

That's where I got mine. Some thing different that looks pretty cool

N i got some progress to day till the rain came lol still have some painting n my catch can too fit in the bay and my cold air feed Anyhow heres the so far pics

Or you can do what I did and sabotaged an old xbox 360 controller (it was broken)

Booooo!

Fair enough, to be fair the fabric seats may prove more comfortable, I think they'd be better on hot or cold days anyway, no burns or frost bite I can't blame anything, I'm just getting old!

Its who i used to go with when the EK was up and running.. Great bunch of people and really really good track etiquette unlike some of the twats (a certain rx7 springs to mind recenttly)

Well I should be attempting to fit sat evening mate so if all goes well !! Here's the link. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/360881651517

Right Krzys! Having read your woes, i am now lending my sympathetic opinion now. I have had exactly the same problems with my car, albeit not with the car itself but all the mods i have done. I have gave examples in my rants in my own build thread and the best advice i can give..... Simple walk away for a short while and get your head straight, then tackle things with a clear head and when theres nothing complicated in your life, at that moment in time. The funeral and all that goes with it will bring you down and your head just aint in it. Stick with your car mate, once everything is done, then its a sorted car for you to enjoy for many years to come. As said previously, its a solid, rust free car...that in itself is worth keeping. Chin up ya big woose!

Perfect tribute for Nick and his Baby.

Well all sorted now thanks to my hold labour, but can't upload the pic lol. Photo bucket pain

Now included in the plans will be a full respray to make her paintwork flawless! And a few other trick bits done on the interior too, with some possible window tinting at some point.

Finally went n picked up myself a skunk2 4-2-1 mani from my m8 jon n grabbed a cheap rear jap can just gotta find a suitable mid section to match it n a custom de cat which r next on my list

Yay bonnet is now wraped after having the wrap in my loft for 3months lol
