Yes mate, more than I had thought I'd be doing this early into ownership, but always the way aint it lol Once Poppy is through her MOT, DD's turn next for some pampering. Got some little jobs to do on her, and some bloody big jobs too! Will see how the money/time goes this year, might be the year she gets her front end repainted (finally!)

Stunning Civic M's guys, love them both

hahaha, priceless!

There was a video doing the rounds a while back of an electric excavator (I think) being charged on a site... But the site was powered by a diesel generator

Fair bit of graft gone into this lately Dave. Looking good though with the finished product.

Cheers Jake, got one on its way though for a tenner

Cheers man.. Still need to get the ride height sorted though with some better shocks.

Probably got a spare somewhere if you'd like me to dig it out to try

Yeah, was looking at the fault finding in the workshop manual yesterday and ordered a spare solenoid off ebay just in case. Out of interest, I searched for the honda part number, and a couple of vacuum control valves came up for an old accord, which have the same denso details printed on and look identical... https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Honda-Accord-Vacuum-Valve-1-8cc-2-0cc-Petrol-98-02-Mk6-/144113046264?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&_trksid=p2349624.m46890.l49286&mkrid=710-127635-2958-0 Other option is there's no signal from the ecu - so either damaged cable or goosed p9k.

Theres a little solenoid that controls it. Probably faulty by sounds of it.

@dr_broonIs it maybe something in the vacuum pipe itself obstructing the flow? I would have thought the vacuum should drop quickly when the engine is off.

So frustrating because when you look at the bigger picture, the cars they allow in to ULEZ's (EV's etc) have created a massive carbon footprint during manufacture in recent times, where as our cars have made their impact in the 1990's, and although have higher emmissions than the current ev's, our 90's cars (if well maintained) are putting out combined less of a footprint now in the present time. The years it will take for ev's to offset their manufacturing footprint is years away, and going by how long the batteries last, they might not even manage to offset that footprint. The target set is zero emissions, which to me is totally unrealistic. Unless the cars are powered by water (or possibly hydrogen), they will never be Zero emissions. I have to laugh at the "Zero emissions" stickers plastered all over our work ev's! It's like "zero emissions?....it's been chargiung all night on the mains grid, causing more pollution at the power station, and of course the aforementioned manufacturing footprint. Zero emissions at the exhaust pipe (ok, eve's dont have one! lol) doesn't mean zero permissions into the atmosphere.

@Aerokek This meet was nice. Still cold, but sunny. Felt like the opening of the season this year!

Looks like not much fits including EK,way to short and think wrong fit at rear,<you need fork type> best bet is oem replacement parts with a lowering spring,but not much lowering 20mm should be ok. Most fit coilovers though, sorry its not an option for you ..
