http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/180629518622?_trksid=p2055119.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT There you go mate, connects directly to the stock speaker harness as well as the new components, says it's for an accord but it works on civics too Thanks! I need to prioritise the suspension bits and new rear tyres so I can get another alignment once lowered, luckily I work closely with a garage (pictured above) so it's not too bad to sort out!

Smalllll Update! Raised the exhaust back up, and started finding out what I'm getting for my birthday from my car mates (1 week from now), my mates bought me a set of component speakers for the front with adaptor rings and the plug adaptor for the standard Honda plugs, @Roj is buying me something I'll reveal closer to the time. I've bought myself an Eibach 20/15mm Pro Kit, Therefore lowering it a total of 40/35mm over a standard non type R civic, so it'll sit nicely and still allow me to navigate around London. Pics time! Ignore the blatant instagramness please. I also did an interior LED bulb upgrade with new sidelights cause one of my old ones started flickering: They're obviously much brighter in person and really gives a nice look when you unlock the car, or when you take the key out after turning the car off, really nice bright LEDs. Going to get the windows tinted after the bonnet is sorted, as well as the Eibachs on when @Roj gets down here for our mini Honda weekend!

Yeah mine had gone that way in an area but it's not my cup of tea The back light bulbs are quite easy to get to which was a nice change! Still means the whole centre bit of the dash coming out but it doesn't take that long really! Managed to do it all without unplugging the headunit which was a bonus because I was listening to music while I was working! Just the new mats to fit and replace the wiper blades and I'm sorted as far as issues go (window rattle I can live with)! Should be in for an early MOT next weekend!

I remembered from the EF thread that he keeps it all in the first post

Yeah that's what I'm thinking. May end up having the rcar resprayed a while down the line anyway. Will see.

That's what she said.

Few minor jobs done on the car this weekend. Replaced two blown dash bulbs, two extra screws added to the radio cage to stop a rattle in there and plugged the hands free microphone back in after noticing it had come out. Also replaced the badly marked gear knob with a new OEM one. Also fitted the MDF boot floor as it was missing. Was going to fit my new genuine Honda mats and give her a clean but rain called off play.

Nice one, very quick to get them painted and fitted! Maybe colour code the covers in the future?

Good old Tubs!

Last pic shows a nice PB flip!

ha ha thats a different kind mate as for washing a decent jet wash helps i bought myself a Nilfisk with a reel on and was the best decision i ever made leaving karcher!!

The other thread reminded me about this on, and thought that i should give an update. The couple of weeks ago my mechanic dude tried to fit my new lamda, but the old one was well stuck in. Anyway, the wires got trashed in the process, so have been driving around without the sensor connecte, and haven't had the problem. Once the engine light briefly wasn't on, and the problem came back, but as soon as the light came back on (don't know if it had temporarily made a connection) the problem stopped. So lambda sensor it is then. Just need to get the fecker out now

well we've seen some but other people haven't! come on @gib36

Alright guys! Sooo its been a while.. 2 weeks! Alot but not alot has happened.. me and dad have been clearing out the garage each sunday recently.. only took 7 cars full of cr*p down the tip! Have not done anything with the car, so no i dont even have a video of my exhaust for you yet, sorry The garage is looking a million dollars compared to how it was before.. got a load of racking up and got myself a big toolbox for all my tools! So the garage is almost finished finally. will be nice to be actually walk through it and find tools i need. Went down to Saddington reservoir in the countryside today with the guy that bought my EJ6, took some awesome photos of the car and he should be sending them my way within the next few days, some i took with my G-S4; ^^ Silvia got jealous I can only apologize for the lack of updates. Work has been busy (too busy..) hopefully next weekend can start doing some bits on it.. like the dash and video on the headunit

Great work as usual mate.. I am sure the Baikal green would look even better but black is good for a quick job.. Still suits well

And a quick wash.... Only cos it started raining...

So! My plates for brake hoses are here .. Thanks a lot BC racing, for what you did. Today or tomorrow we will photograph the front window and I hope someone can advise what is best for the correction of the problem .... Plans for the summer! I have a lot of work, but I hope to do most especially hopefully have money for that ... Complete painting with plasti dip (yes)! /as an example!Improve sound insulation in the cabin! Change in the headlights, cosmetic changes! New speakers for front and rear! If I can do this, I'll be happy.

Cheers ðŸ»

Pic testing

Final coat of lacquer on!! Ready to fit tomorrow!! Well there is a couple slight imperfections which I didn't notice until paint went down but I weren't about to rub it all back again when the silver is £15 a can and I was onto my second can of it!! (It took 3 cans of silver in total!) So see how it comes out and that'll have to do

Another update is here alot as been done since I've had it back from body shop, done a full re-bush with HardRace bushes was surprised how the old ones some like egg shaped lol, While doing the bushes I decided to fit MB6 rear hub conversion which given me a wider track sits nicely lined up with arch now Some pictures All OEM decals and badges fitted Rear spoiler lip fitted Always wanted a Ktuned shifter absolutely amazing piece of kit feel of the shifter is amazing Front lower arm cleaned and a lick of hammerite paint and HardRace bushes fitted Old one out in with the new Hardrace RTA and drop links MB6 rear hubs had a full refurb and HardRace RTA bushes fitted Test fitted my Rays again can't to get these on, hopefully there will be on once alignment as been done In the process now doing ABS unit wire tuck Interior shot Still to fit on ATR front calliper will fit nicely with TE37s Hopefully next get a remap done And just like to say BIIIIIIG thanks to SpeedEquib Auto centre for supplying the parts and helping me to fit them

Got some new rims today

I've heard too many horror stories about fake LCAs failing in every way possible. D2 are a decent brand, they just happen to have sellers on eBay.

dont go for cheap ebay crap again, bushes will be s**t and might not last as long, get branded

So just went to the shop, and as i pulled into the cat park this old chap was stood at the bus stop next door and asked if i had a private plate. I said no, and he said really? Is that an old t reg. I Said, yes, well 99 anyway (thinking he might have been thinking about an old old t reg), and he said oh, didn't think they were that old... Really good nick then son. I said Cheers, and walked into the shop with a spring in my step. Came home and gave her a celebratory wash.

I reckon April

thats because you take ages to do anything

Yeah, I think in general, the police are actually pretty fair. I always watch shows like road wars, traffic cops etc and love it when they catch these uninsured drivers. Most of them turn out to have no mot, no tax, and more often than not, no bloody licence......or are drunk! So glad the cops are out there catching these gits, cos if one of them crashes into your pride and joy, you're stuffed. On a plus point for the club, unlike a few clubs I could mention, we have never had any of our meets moved on by the police. As said above, I think they tend to regard us as mature Honda enthusiasts instead of the boy racer brigade, so tend to leave us alone. Which is nice

Got home to a box... Pair of heated rover/mg wing mirrors. Get these babies panted up!

Roxy back all sorted, so DD now all washed, dried and back tucked up safely in her blanket in the garage! She is deffo not seeing salty roads again!!!

I know you are not mate but everyone's financial situation is different.. You don't know about mine and I don't know about yours.. Seriously though the kind of expenses you guys are telling me I think I am gonna sell the coilovers and just stick to standard suspension or probably buy some lowering springs. As for tyres mate yes they are expensive for £200. I bought 4 part worn tyres last time for £70 and they lasted me well without any mishaps.. I am not being stingy here but I have to look at my pocket first.. I have already paid for a lot of things from credit card as I don't have the cash to splash
