Well I actually span 3 times. First time was my first lap, tyres were not hot enough and that's when I cracked my trailing arm which made it very tail happy for the rest of the day. 2nd time was to hard on the brakes and it span round and punted a hay bail and 3rd time was my last lap of the day through the very fast s bend near the last corner, because of not having much experience on track I was letting people past all day, came out of that s with a mx5 on my chuff so pulled to the left to let him passed, big mistake, car went sideways right over to that big grass banking and over the banking sideways and came off the other side backwards. I really thought the car was going to roll when I hit that. The marshals said it made their day as they have never seen such an off haha. Car was a bit bent from the front tow eyes digging into the ground but I've managed to straighten it using some 4x4s haha.

Hello all. It's been a while. Gona do another build for my current car. I've had a few mbs and mcs which I will show you. You may recognise a couple. Nothing special. This is my first one. White mb2

I attended Mimms again last weekend too and once again not one other mb came. There was a couple of aerodecks there but that was it.

Oh just before the track day I smashed a hole in my 4-1 crap speed manifold so had to buy a new one so got this srs toda rep 421

Here is the track day pics from blyton Park. Had an absolutely awesome day however I did spin off the track and crack my trailing arm.

Quite a journey!!

My k sport coilovers were pretty b****red so it was time for a change so I picked up some Hsd momopro coilovers which sit much lower than the ksports and a brand new set of white Pro race 3s which I'd been after for a while

Anyway after I got it home it was all cleaned up and poured some oil through it and cranked it over by hand to make sure it was OK. I put a new cambelt kit on it and Waterpump, the rocker cover from the b18, got some nice Magnacore kv85 leads and swapped the s4c gearset into the s9b casing. Also got a full mongoose exhaust system and japspeed manifold to go with it and in it went.

I then remembered my mate had a b16a2 sat in his garage for years, 14 years to be exact. So I gave him a call and went to pick it up. Also got the s4c gearbox with it

The interior from the vti was transferred into it also got the vti clocks and master cylinder and manual conversion bits such as pedal box and clutch slave fitted.

It started life as a d16 auto so I needed to swap the chassis mount from the auto one to a manual one.

I hated the colour of the interior so that had to go

While I still had the old green one I got offered a shell cheap so I went and got it,this is the day I bought it and the start of this build

Had the mb4 for about 7 years and ended up like this

Then I bought my first mb4 and a mc2

My next was a mb3

Good use of the 4x4s

Bleedin el proper job haha fair play.!

Cracking collection of Civic MB's mate and the MC! That's been some build, couldnt believe the photo of your old stripped one lying upside down ion your garden! Thats how to strip em! Love your current one, must shift with the B16 eh! Nice manifold too, something i want to change on DD one day

That's a whole lotta M's there bud! Good to see you percevering. Welcome back mate

Swapped my numberplate surround back to the green one the other day as I got board of black and didn't like the fake carbon one I had.

Exactly that mate. I hadn't got round to getting a cooler so I just bunged up the ports not knowing any different

I recently had a track day coming up so needed to get some stuff done. Had the rear arb from the vti powder coated and bought some brand new L brackets bushes and links and got it fitted. I also fitted the front vti arb when I built the car. It also has 282mm mgzs disks and new 282 front calipers with ebc blue stuff pads and some braided lines. Also my cv boots were b****red so got some new shafts from j&r. It also got some fresh millars nanodrive 10w40 oil and a hamp filter and some fresh mtf3 box oil

I had to find some better wheels so came across these pro race 1.2s. Love them and they suit the car. Still got them now too

The wheels I had on were borrowed so had to quickly find some more so picked up these horrible old tsws

I then had all the panels to swap over from the old car as I didn't like the dark green and it didn't come with wings anyway.

I then had 1 weekend in which to swap everything else over on to the new shell including fitting the b18c4 from the vti and have it ready for a mot on Monday morning. It was a hard weekend but I got it done

I then bought a mb6 to strip as it was rotten but mainly just wanted the engine for my current car

But then I discovered lots of rust/rot so I stripped it

I then got it In bits to see if I could salvage anything but no. It was all gone. Here's what one of the bearings looked like

I didn't make it to work or make it to the test station. I made a huge mistake thinking it had wiring issues and drove it with the oil light on. It managed 27 miles until it died. That's it. The 74k miles healthy none smoking b18 was dead. I was gutted. Starved it of oil because I'd fitted a sandwich plate and blocked it off by mistake.

But then
