Hello chaps, thought I'd get a thread up on here. Am sure most of you know the car, was owned by nick previously. Anyhow, this car turned out to be a nightmare. I've been a civic5 member for a long time but very inactive. However one night I decided to browse to see if there was any builds or anything interesting. Came across nicks thread for the car as I've always had a nose through his project thread to find it was for sale. Done a deal with Sue for a really good price. Left a deposit and arranged to collect it. Unexpectedly, it turned out to be further away then I presumed almost 200 miles! The sunday came and awaited my friend to arrive at mine so we can set off.. No response so thought he might have been busy, anyway looked at my phone only to realise the damn thing was off. Epic Fail. Anyway, as I was busy for the foreseeable future I arranged for one of my mates with a recovery to collect it. Was a swift journey back and arrived late night last week. Driving it off the truck and the centre pipe kept catching the body of the truck, after 20 minutes or so I finally had a brain wave of sticking a plank of wood below the bend by the rear wheel which should push it high enough. Finally got it off the truck. It sat for a few days as it had no insurance or tax at the time. So this week I got it taxed, insured and started driving. Gave it an obligatory hand polish. Bought a few mods for it. Skunk 2 rep gearknob. fitted Momo DC2 wheel, awaiting arrival Spoon rep socks, awaiting arrival Climair front wind deflectors, awaiting arrival Had a low tyre so went to my mates tyre place to get it checked out. The tyre had a bobble in the sidewall. It was a fairly recent tyre aswell. Gutted, so got a pair of 195-45-16 yokohama s-drives fitted. £138 for the pair supplied and fitted/balanced etc. Driving along the motorway to Mansfield, one arch guard came loose and decided to split ways with the civic. On the way back, the drivers side decided to do the same thing GRRRRRRRRRRRRRR.. When I got the car, I noticed the clutch was really high compared to my other vtis. On the slip road building up some speed to join the motorway, it was slipping under load in higher gears. So I've purchased an exedy clutch oem replacement 3 piece clutch. Got it for a really good price too! Wont be getting this fitted for a few weeks as I'm going away on holiday in just over two weeks. Then want to get some arch shields and the front lip sprayed and do all the work at the same time. Gutting as my other MB6 didn't need anything spent on it at all in a year and half! Fitted the Skunk 2 Rep gearknob, weight and quality was good. Feels a lot better then the chunky vtis late spec gearknob. Writing is not 100 per cent centred but its livable for £13.95 delivered. Got a few plans for it but most will be after the new year as super busy period coming up with work! Few pics.

the slowest drag race ever lol

U got a build thread @browniemb3

I would agree Dave! Will have to get my arse in gear and come up to say hello once the shows/meets are done with this month.

Painted my standard wheels as ive got two lots, preparing these ready for some new tyres.

That's sept car of month then when's next one start.

Must have! Or just doesn't sleep/spend time at home!

But hey why not lol http://civic5.com/forum/index.php?/topic/7459-civic-mb2/

Think I'm gonna move onto the engine bay next. And maybe a wee mod inside that I think my kids will love lol

Really @UnicyclingTom. Is there any point entering now lol

Oh, and just to confirm, the sump washer is 14mm

Thats good then, just picked up a low profile trolley jack and axle stands, so get that done after my holiday.

Looks really mean! Good stuff!

vic past and passed mot

That's what I have in my MB6. Much more comfortable to use than the standard VTi knob.

Holy Jesus, i am guessing that the camber arms are smashing fook out of the top of the wheel arch i would maybe get the stock ones back on before its beyond repair, cant believe your 70mm lowered kinda what you got to expect isn't it?
