Thanks @ammarbm for entering me into the competition, didn't think I'd get that far lol and thanks all who voted for me. 😃

Yey. Good day to have a random day off work... Tnt came a day early and left some stainless steel goodness.

The engine goes in a 4.gen sedan, so about 250-300kg weight difference to an Aerodeck. I think I won't have problems with hills.

Goes well with this....

So on Friday just gone I did a 600+ mile road trip to Edinburgh and back visiting the boss @Dave plus another friend Dave! A1 was at a standstill heading up so I made my own diversion.... Also coming back down I got held up for nearly two hours to travel 1 mile to the next junction of the City of Edinburgh bypass... Saturday I looked at the car and decided it's well and truly time for a clean!!! Sh1t.... So with the help of a mate we set about it! First off this was the result just from using a pressure washer and spraying the wheels with some wheel cleaning product.... Now for the foam! Quick progress snap. Done! Car hit 49k on the Friday! I've been asked if I'll take someone up to Aberdeen next weekend to see a car! Could be close to 50k on the clock with that one if I do go!

Went to sign the renewal lease to my house today. Decided to do something I've been meaning to do on the way home.

Keep on doing what your doing mate, love how this car is turning out!

Madman

of course!!

My living room needs lows to be fair! It's on the first floor!

Grill looks spot on mate, makes the front end look much newer

I won't be able to be on fire? That sounds useful.

i've already seen them on FB get the tyres on!!

Yeah I do know something everyone doesn't know as I see the updates Live while everyone else get them with a delay

I'll have to see If any will buy me tyres for my birthday next month or at least help fund them

It'll be sitting on Meisters on Saturday, about time really. I won't be at Japfest in May, but I'll be at Mimms in April and Japfest 2 in August if you're at any of those.

They have (or had if they've been changed) yellow bulbs in them as I got those off Alex when he had my projectors off of me. Yellow fogs are cool and break up the colour nicely!

Im not normally a fan of that type of wheels on an M but it does actually pull it off well (oh err misses!).

DIRTY! Then shiny

cheers mate, your dechromed headlights and usdm kit already fitted saved me a lot of time and hassle on the front end of the vtis

same here I had a proper look around this car at the meet yesterday, I must say its the cleanest MB I've ever seen!

Yep have a spare mate if you wanna try?

Nice try. Andy knows the truth.

Practically counting down the days now.

Clean! For the plate, just buy a plate holder and some pressed plates. Looks much better.

Before i open the thread i knew it would be you! lol quality!

Seen This car in person and love it to pieces so clean and every modification don't so neat and professional.

She looks all shiney fairplay sir tiz good to c u enjoy this car a bit more than the last

Fixed

looking good mate, had a nice read through!! keep up the good work

Those lamps look quality

there back at his now mate don't worry, he might get them done this side of christmas rlol.gif1

Oh god!! You didn't set the car on fire Aswel did you after you changed the pollen filter?

Gave the deck a quick wash yesterday... She don't come up too bad!!

No, its actually my dream car Bit of an update now, broke some things on the MB6 Alternator, power steering and air-con belts. Replaced the alternator, getting fit by now having power steering and sweating in a car with no air-con Tried a Lenso on the MB2. She really needs a clean and some loving, sitting there neglected on the driveway Gave the MB6 a half-arsed clean Hit a deer. FFS! Luckily not too much damage, just a split bumper and a pushed in fog light Car fwends! Matt

Turned 22 on the 9th March, so for the weekend of the 6th-8th March I drove to the Geneva Motorshow 2015. I took the BMW because it's better on fuel via the motorway, and more comfortable, less loud, and has cruise control. Awesome awesome trip. We need a collage! Collage~~~ I got to see all the new concepts and road cars etc, even sat in the drivers seat of the new type R! Was very tempted to put down the £3k deposit, but no idea where the other £29k would come from! It's definitely better in real life than in pictures by the way Returned back to England to find the HID kit that @Roj and another mate got me for my birthday had arrived (thanks again) Got that fitted and here's the results! They're perfectly matched to my new sidelights which is a plus and night time visibility is incredible as they're the 6000k ones not the 8000k ones! Also a bonus picture of the spoiler as everyone loves a bit of carbon fibre! In regards to further modifications. the rear tyres are on the way as is the new gearbox mount. I've also ordered a new rocker cover gasket kit so I can get the valve clearances done sometime next week. Also my new component speakers arrived with everything I need to fit them, another birthday present from a mate! So these will be fitted this weekend hopefully! Happy days

Give me the registration number and I shall get the complete engine number through my works registration search facility. PM me it if you don't want others to see your reg **edit** Or use the pic above for a faster answer

Like Phill said look for vtec solenoid Thins thing: Just in case here are the engine numbers: non-VTEC: D16Y3, D16B2, D16W3 VTEC: D16Y2, D16W4

so little update!! was getting annoyed with the grill not looking as nice as it did, the wrap was bugging me, so i decided to try some black plasti dip! it came out pretty nicely but the real test will be when i come to with the car. currently testing this on my brother grill when he puts it back on his car tomorrow, as my civic isn't my daily his will be a good test considering he's always out in his!! sorry about the car not being clean!! anyway here's the pictures!!

ye i need to do more hooning! especially when i get the car done oh and new tyres

Or just look to see if there is a vtec solenoid on it be easier

Ur right just looked on insurance sight and it's the se not the sport! Just has a sport sticker lol

Nope... And i didn't need to use any products from holts either... Speaking of which, I saw this in halfords at the weekend when buying another exhaust bandage Class

Can't hurt, yours will be getting on for 18 years old if they're original!

Will look top mate

Right I have a few updates.. I have installed extended gear short shift .. Also got a custom JDM gear knob made which is a pool ball My engine bay was looking stock apart from my home made induction kit.. So i decided to dress it up so I purchased a chrome rocker cover, chrome super gt oil cap, chrome radiator cap, chrome strut brace, password jdm battery tie for now. This is the result so far for my engine bay..

Right, pressed plates arrived fitted them not long ago and they look nice here are some pics.. Also below are a couple of links of the sound of my exhaust for those of you who wanted to hear it
