With the news of the scottish meet coming I had a sudden burst of enthusiasm for getting bits sorted on the car. Iv bought a fitted new number plates a the old ones were pretty worn. Went hunting at the local scrappy and found a mgzs which I got the sideskirts from, gave them a quick spray with satin black on nightshift and got them fitted. They sit a lot closer to the ground than the standard skirts met up with a friend that ha some front team heko wind deflectors that he bought 5 years ago for his coupe and turned out to be the wrong fitment. So he offered them to me for free! Good guy! Not so good news is that my previous super glue repair on the wing mirror has given up was hoping to find a complete replacement door in time for the meet, there was one at the scrappy but it had been dented by the forklift but another positive is that iv managed to source another two accord steel wheels! Going to band them to 9" using my new cutting jig at the house. Had a bit time to give the car a quick clean and polished the back box up...

You know how it goes.....your Check Engine Light illuminates.....you switch it off or have a mechanic do it for you.......it comes on again within a few hundred miles or actually stays on after clearing the troublesome code.....so you fit an affordable universal Lambda sensor only to find you still have problems (for some strange reason Honda's don't get on with cheap universal sensors). A Honda sensor will cost circa £200 + (silly money to spend on an ageing car).....whilst researching Civics I came across these OE Denso oxygen sensors : http://www.micksgarage.com/search.aspx?fffBrand=Denso&fffDepartment=Lambda%20Oxygen%20Sensors&fffMake=honda&fffBasemodel=honda%20civic&fffModelDescription=civic%20mk%20iv%20hatchback%201994%20to%202001&ffftd_car=1.4%20i%20(ma8)&fffBHP=90 I'm not affiliated to the above Company in any way but I will be sourcing a Lambda from 'em if ever needed in the future.
