Hi all recently purchased my self a civic vtec after owning a non vtec f20a4 prelude and a 2.3type v accord I needed some real vtec in my life so I bought myself a mb6 vti and its the longest ive ever owned a car just for the fact that I love it haha. No plans on getting rid of it at all love the drive the sound and how many diffrent tones the engine makes is pretty amazing . Anyway heres a few photos of mine after its first clean could realy do with a good machine polish but needs a little bit of paint in some areas where thesers scratches and things but it all on a list to be done.

I have tried only Civic5 and Honda Parts for Sale pages on Facebook.. It's kind of provisionally sold atm.. Guy has said he will come from London on Thursday.. And we have agreed on a price.. Let's see how it goes.. I had a few enquiries today but I have told them all it's provisionally sold if he don't turn up I will let them know.

Not 100% sure about the link but these are quite good. http://www.brakeparts.co.uk

You're making it sound like a damn Vauxhall Ampera! LOL

Hmmm Rotas by any chance?! lol Bumper straps look good chap .. In keeping with your racecar theme

Thanks @ammarbm appreciate it mate

Just a quick pic of another car with the Toyota PS pump I was looking at on the weekend. Awesome work but was talking to Maz as Hond-R as they were doing all the work on the CRX. Not sure I like the idea of it being behind the headlight but this build was more looks that function. Cool work though

Cool pictures!

She looks gr8 dude someone is gonna get a bargain glws

Fantastic work gone into this. I didn't realize how much mods you done on this looking at that list!

I love how it looks so MINT! Good luck with the sale mate

So far over the last few days its been starting better, not great but better. Today i did a tiny bit of off roading and a knocking started, so i thought oh no not the exhuast! Turns out a peg right after the rear box was sticking out over the anti roll bar and i think it had hooked itself underneth. Cut just over an inch off and problem solved! Oh removed the rear wheel cover as i have noticing every crv owner has one on lol And i friend of mine needed another big car after her piece of sh*t citroen's front wheel ball joint snapped whilst driving! so i suggested a CRV and the next day she bought one lol

Childish will always be the most fun though!

This should decide which ones better oppss did I bring that up again

Okay, between eating too much food and arguing with the family I managed a few jobs on the car. Still waiting for a few bits to turn up but most stuff arrived in good time. Next big job is to get the chassis painted, so lots of small jobs to be done before this can happen. I bought a chassis rotisserie while back so I can work on the underside so I want to take the body panels off and get them out of the way. First job was to fit all the perspex windows and leave them to "settle" in the runners. I also need to measure up for some small brackets to fix the bottom of the panels in place for extra security Then off with all the doors. Looks naked without them! Next task was to get the mould ready for the sunroof bung. I thought the easiest way would be to use the old roof panel and make a fibre glass mould from that, so as I have 2 roof panels kicking about... Cut off the rubber seal, the new panel will be bonded into place.. Mount the panel to a backing board. I also had to fill in as much of the gaps around the edge as possible to minimise the work with filler etc, as possible later on... Left this to dry for a few days before going at this with filler and primer. Solid start Back to the chassis, and chase down how far the tin worm in the rear arch has got. Using a brass wire wheel on the angle grinder makes short work of any filler and paint. Looks like it will need a little more work than planned but nothing the body shop can't handle,,, Looks like they will have to cut and rebuild the lower corner of the wing to mount the bumper onto. This whole section is loose and I could break this off with my hands. I want to keep this in place until the body shop can see the "damage" The back of the car still has a few small areas of sound deadening to clean off. Jobs done, but no photos as I managed to drop the grinder onto my arm while working on roof. Even with a long sleeve top it managed to take a chunk out of my arm Back of the car has been finished and all etch primed. Didn't take long The arm has however turned to a great mass of puss and crud which needs regular cleaning, lovely! Another job while the arm heals was to fit the MR2 power steering pump. I've seen this done on several other forums, but hate where they mount it using the original brackets. To get it to fit where the battery used to go would mean removing the pump body casting. Time to plug up the holes and start cutting... Off with the legs... All edges filed and smoothed off ready to make the new mounting brackets. With the mounts removed I'll have to use the 3 bolts that hold on the motor cover as the new mounts to a new bracket but it will now fit where I want it to go... I will pick up off the original battery tray mounts along the edge of the chassis rail. Oh, and the new engine mounts look the nuts Last piece I picked up today was the lower control arm brace from Function7. Beautiful piece of machining, but not designed for the MC/MB chassis it will need work to make it go on. I've been told that a small amount of material needs to be removed from the back of the brace, so I'll check in the week and put the brace on the mill at work to get a clean cut. Time to sit back and enjoy my last few hours off before returning to work on Monday

@Benthebratt 's MB2..Lovely car as I have seen her in person. Project Thread: http://civic5.com/forum/topic/9404-my-little-mb2/#entry244089

So here's what i did last year: Mods Rear aero wiper KV85 Magencor spark plug leads Skunk2 cam gears Non-EU license plates Tegiwa 4-2-1 exhaust manifold Martelius 2.5" sports cat Martelius 2.25" custom stainless exhaust Magnaflow double barrel backbox Rear arches rolled Tegiwa radiator HEL braided brake hoses Brake depot grooved discs Ferodo DS2500 pads Motul RBF600 fluid Password:JDM magnetic oil drain plug Block heater plug relocation Repairs / maintenance Distributor cap & rotor Spark plugs Fuel filter Right rear wheel bearing Cambelt, waterpump etc. auxiliaries Coolant 2 x oilchange Headlight refurb Right rear abs sensor I didn't even remember how much i had done until reading through this years posts on this thread! I'm pretty satisfied, getting the brakes & exhaust fully done are 2 big things off my secret "final build sheet" . Shame that the new winter wheels didn't fit, i still might buy a set if i can afford it after getting new coils... that's next on my list. What else for 2015? Haven't decided yet. I plan to get loads of track days in, in preparation for a possible entry in the 2016 Finnish Time Attack series club class. Now that i got my exhaust done and adjustable cam gears, maybe it's worth it to invest in other go-fast parts as well... or perhaps a Hondata S300? We'll see! Happy new year bros.
