Sort of mate.. haha Not drove for a week now. Coolant need bleeding hard work from a full flush. just packed me tools up again. doing me nut in just need some time. Desperate to make some earth leads up. Paint rocker cover. Spruce the bay up a lot more. Oh and I've got mg zs shocks and springs thanks to noodels. Gotea get them on and mod the forks. And put rear arb on. Aggggghhhh need some time. Daylight would be good too

Thats proper shiney dude it was deffo well worth the effort

All sorted now, took tail light out and re wired everything.

Shot gun 2nd

Sounds like a good result all things considered... Could have been stung for a naughty bill. At least you didn't have to get your legal team on the case this time

Spoke to Rim-Style yesterday night and they've arranged to have the right size wheel sent to me tomorrow, so can't really fault their customer service. Seems like they don't hold any stock themselves but put the order straight to Rota and put the delivery address as mine. Couple of pictures of the wheels on: Love the fitment now, sits perfectly on the edge of the arches. In serious need of lows though, and they will come in the form of the Meister Zeta's. The car has changed massively in the last week as well, it's gone from pulling and handling well, to an absolute animal. Don't know what's happened to it but I'm not complaining. Had a little race when I first picked it up with my uncles FN2 and mates ATR and lost by a good car and a half, whereas now it's dead on neck and neck upto about 80-90 where our private race-track ends Took the bonnet engine bay cover off as well which has dramatically improved Vtec noise but also every other noise. Keep turning the radio off thinking I've heard a knock or clang or something, used to be a regular past time in my old knackered Accord Still having problems with a stiff accelerator. It's fine until I push it more than 50% down at which point, when I let off and go to push it again, it's stiff until pushed a little and then its fine again until I nail it. I've sprayed WD40 on the pedal mechanism and the throttle cable but it's not done much, although it does move a little freer when driving normally.

Car is cool as f**k dude and the spec list is so awesome. Love the black on black exterior, really makes it look mean.

I take it from that Honda are doing the work under warranty then?

You love em

Hoping DD will be back off the road tomorrow, as should be getting Roxy back then. Been a bugger keeping her clean, basically she's been washed every day the last week she's been on the road! But have to say, been so nice driving her, just such a beautiful car to drive. Everything smooth, and just feels like a new car! And the looks!!! lol Love the looks she gets from other drivers and pedestrians, just makes you feel proud. Also noticed that other drivers tend to give way a lot, and wave you across etc, or flash you back in after you pass them on the motorway. She seems to get a lot of respect on the road!! And the guys at my work just love her, always coming across to have a look and a blether about her. Got her own wee fan club there! Found her spare rocker cover in the garage yesterday (found= tripped over it!) so going to get going on that soon. Bought new metal polishing kit as my old kit was done, so will start working on that when I get a chance. Then it will be raising her front suspension a tad, which I've been meaning to do for ages. So fingers crossed, she'll be washed, dried and put back in her bed tomorrow until the spring is here and all that nasty road salt is gone Also put a wee post up on civinfo, the site for all the 8th gen civics (roxy etc) and was a bit worried about what the replies might be, but they've all been massively positive. They all think she looks sweet, so alls good. Mind you, Civinfo is pretty much the same as civic5, really decent members.

Not heard of the crumball rally mate, but Gayle drew my attention to a recent one that started at the Forth road bridge, just outside edinburgh............to Rome! was called Rust to Rome (quite catchy and full of double meanings!), and although mainly classics and cars of our age, you could enter in basically any car you wanted. Looked massive fun! So Gayle and I got talking about how good it must be being a part of something like that, so have been talking about the possibility of getting something similar organized for Civic5. Wouldn't want to venture as far as Rome on the first one, so we thought about a smaller one to say France. Would be good as we do have a good few members there now, and theres also the possibility of joining up with the French version of Civic5, which is MBSquad. Could end up with a massive amount of Civic M's! Would have to be run over a good few days obviously, but we thought it could involve camping etc?? Would be immense fun to have a "Civic5 holiday", having a laugh and hanging out with members who have as much love for the civics as we both do! Will put a post up soon about it, see what the interest is.

Tunes !

Cool!

Had some nice weather on Sunday, and as it'd been through most of winter and gotten filthy, thought it was time to give it a well deserved wash Looks like I got excited... Turned out really nice though I'll add a pic in later cause photobucket is being awkward about 12MP pics... But now this is finally on Looks amazing in person, fitment is spot on, very very happy, making me wanna get the bonnet on even sooner!

Yep, the cool kids will bum you silly then!

Get an MB6!!!... or better yet, an MC2!!

Weathers getting better by the looks of it, can't wait to turbo the MðŸ˜

yes mate, have some new ones i want to get, but need these sold first to fund towards the new ones!!

nice mate, should give a decent sound now!

Wow man looks super clean! Good job!

Thanks fellas! I know alot advised against it but i was confident in my delicate welding capabilities so just went for it and as you said simon its such a relief!! Anyway a little updated stance shot, sits lovely now i think! Opinions??

clay bar works wonders! looking real clean though mate

At least you haven't given up on the idea!

Clay bar really does make a difference, good work!

Also got a couple more close up pics from other day clay session

Yep got these delivered yesterday

Yeah they don't make 'em like they used to! The EP3 may be the last Honda I have for a while as I have my sights set higher for it's replacement, which I know is daft to think about after only four months of ownership when I'm quite happy for once

Well, although I dont want her out on the road just now, she's been called back into active duty. The TypeR is in dealership again with a list of faults! See roxy's thread for whats going on this time! Begining to think I should have either A: kept the TypeS or B: kept Ruby! So, I went out to the garage last week because she hadn't been fired up for a while (turns out it was over 3 months since she was last started!) so wanted to get her free'd up and make sure everything was fine. Connected up the battery, whipped off the HT leads as I didnt want her to fire up straight away, wanted her to turn over and get the oil moving first to protect the engine. Popped the leads back on, turned the key..................and she burst straight into life like she'd been running all day! Then thought I'd move her out into the drive and just drive her back and forth a few times, making sure everything was free and not siezed. Didnt want to take her out onto the road though due to salt/ wet roads. I thought she might have been a bit stiff, brakesand stuff maybe seized. But in true DD style, she was absolutely perfect! Would not have known she'd been sitting laid up for so long! So tonight, had to get her back on the road due to having no car. First drive was to go away to the other side of Edinburgh to pick up Jim and his Mrs from hospital, and she drove perfectly. Such a beautiful car to drive, so smooth and does everything just right, she's a joy and pleasure to drive. Just love DD to bits, and she's a true reminder of what Hondas are all about. Well, the older Hondas anyway! And the looks she gets always makes me smile! Will just have to make sure I keep the crap washed off her and then give her a good power wash before she retires back into the garage when I finally get the TypeR back. So if you see DD out and about, give her a wave!

Mine has a couple of chips in it too but I don't want to wrap it so more lacquer I think.
