Hi, iam glad this forum still exists... if you need to upgrade your headlamps... I wanted to show you what i did... basically ebay retrofit kit. So ya, it fits nicely, there is how it looks. https://www.ebay.com/itm/Auxbeam-H1-LED-Headlight-Hi-Lo-Driving-Bulb-70W-7000LM-6000K-Decoder-Replace-Kit/153614622461?hash=item23c4251efd:g:44gAAOSwvNhdS8jZ https://www.ebay.com/itm/HID-Bi-xenon-Projector-Lens-LED-Square-Angel-Eyes-For-H1-H4-H7-Car-Motorcycle/372702246099?hash=item56c6c8f4d3:m:mBnGfFGoBxmiVNW5LRyRKng I hope i saved you some thinking :) I do not have a review, i just installed it and it shines ok, but i need to adjust it properly. But its way better than old style original lights for sure! The rings are DRL (controled by first position on lights swithc - parking light) and those switch off when you go for regular lights.

Couple wee picks of the st polished and sealed

Hi guys. Been thinking lately that although our buyers guide is good, it might be kinda out of date now. The faults listed in it are still relevant, but as time goes on there are newer faults and problems arising with our Civics. Not surprising as the oldest Civic M's are now 26 years old! I did some work on DD today, had yet another leak into the interior when raining. The usual place, headlining at the top right corner of windscreen was wet. In the past, this has usually pointed to blocked sunroof drains, or the bonding around the windscreen had broken down/deterioated. Thanks to Alex (Chandler) excellent guide on removing the roof rails, and Simon (Dr Broon) mentioning earlier this week about seam sealer breaking down and letting water into the rear of his Aerodeck, I thought I'd investigate this on DD. I Removed the roof rails, and there was years of dirt/gunk under the roof rail mounts and also under the plastic roof drains. I cleaned all this out, then examined the area. Sure enough, a tiny little bit of seam sealer around where the front roof rail mounts to the car had gone. Tiny tiny bit, but seems enough to let water in. I've now sealed it all up and dried out the roof lining so will report back if this has resolved it. So this brings me to the guide. I think we could add in what members are now finding are failing on these Civics. We can add them to the list of what to check, but also create a list of preventative maintenance we can now do (like removing the roof rails on Aerodecks to check (still applies to hatchbacks too as they still have seam sealer under the plastic roof gutter drains.) and clean out/seal as necessary. There are other things to add too, like the small design flaw in the scuttle area which if blocked up nwith dirt crap, can allow water to go straight into the heater. I'll make this a sticky, so if you have any things you've had to do to your civic that isn't in the current buyers guide, list it in this topic. We've had 2 or 3 Civics/Aerodecks that have recently undergone full restorations, so if you want to list new areas of concerns for rust or anything else would be mucho appreciated. There aren't any other sites out there that have as much info on these cars, so lets keep the list updating as we go along. New things to add to list: Rust - a real common place is now under the drivers/passenger footwells on the seam. Rust - Lower sills which are covered by the sill protectors, and the outer/side which the covers clip into. Usually possible to get fingers underneath and round the covers to check. Also the wheel arches up from the sills of course! Sticky handbrakes. All bushes will all be really showing there age ARB drop links Bonding around windscreen (if original windscreen still fitted) can be breaking down causing leaks around top and bottom of screen The heater core. Check Passengers/Drivers footwell and remove the sill to check if its wet on the underside of the carpet. The heater core in this cars tend to fail and if the puncture is small you only notice if the carpet is lifted and see if it looks wet. Tell tail it's the heater core is the water will coolant so will have antifreeze colour/smell to it.

hi all i have purchased a blox racing intake mani and a sk2 tb i am planning on fitting them soon but wonder would i be ok to run them with out a map i have a p28 hondata ecu but i was wanting to fit more mods before i get it mapped has any one fitted one and drove the car as normal with out any issues i no it would be better to get it mapped but i would rather hold of

Ooya that looks well smart. Fair play

Yeah just put some fuel in and retard timing when map sensor sees vacuum on the limit. So it will only do it when going flat out and change gear.

that's the same one I found... The other ones were about butchering brackets etc specifically for the ring ones.

Ah, that link is before we upgraded to the new forum software. I've found it though!! How to Install front fog lights using separate switch. - D.I.Y Guides - Civic5 Honda Civic MA/MB/MC owners club

Rust, also a real common place is under the drivers footwells on the seam. Sticky handbrakes. Now 20+ years old. Bushes are really showing there age aswell.

Sort the cold start out as it some times starts up very rich and has a little paddy for a few secs. And I don't want it popping and banging all the time but gonna have some flame action on on the limiter..that's the plan anyway.

There's a how to here but I don't think this was the ring ones

If I remember, they were ring illuminators. Halfords used to sell them. Generally people used them to replace the oem ones because they fitted in the original fog light covers.. I'm sure there's a how to somewhere. I remember a few people getting a particular one off ebay, but no clue what that one was.

Never been fitted as far as I know, however the previous owners added a fog button on the dash where it's meant to be (I'm assuming the MB3's don't have that from the factory), so there's some possibility that they were installed at some point although I haven't had a look yet. As for the Ring ones, have you got a part number or something? That would be highly appreciated. Appreciate the response nonetheless.

Done the rears today. Friday is wash day and Saturday off to dynodaze for couple tweaks on the map.

That looks stunning on those rims. Colour and style go really well with the colour of the car mate. Good choice!
