Hi guys! Anyone can point me where I can find base map for D15Z8 ecu? .bin file ideally

So miss this car

Aw man, that's a big bill for a clutch! Everything I hear about minis is that they're a massive ball ache to work on / get the right parts for. At least DD is back in action 😎

Glad to hear that the deck is back on the road.. Happy days 😎

Ahh thank you! The mounts I ended up getting are different to those ones again, seems to be quite a bit that either fits, doesn’t fit at all, or can be made to fit haha. The last photo there is of the bar on an mg zs for reference I found, looks like the mounts I have fit elsewhere, but I’ve seen this setup on an mb before so hoping everything will tie together nicely without me having to mess about too much! Also had to get the correct links for this setup too. Yeah the 24mm bar I got would have been overkill, I think the one I ordered is either 16 or 18mm so should be fine! Thanks for the reply though!

I fitted an EG6 rear ARB last year, using the 'same' OEM mounting hardware as you probably do. (They were pretty rusty before I restored them) In my case, there were small pre-drilled (and tapped!) holes next to the lower control arm mounts (center of the car) that I just cleaned up before I installed the brackets. But if I remember correctly, I indeed had to drill a pair of holes for one of the brackets' mounting points. I also used some sturdy metal tubing as spacers between the frame and the mounts to reinforce everything. Also, you gotta have a pair of rear lower control arms that actually have the required holes to fit your ARB to! And a bit of friendly advice on top - don't go with an ARB thicker than 15 or 16mm, because everything above that is going to tear our and completely wreck your rear frame without any reinforcement done to it to take the brunt of the force. Hardrace, Beaks and loads of other companies sell those kinds of reinforcement braces, some of which even come with their own mounting points for your ARB! :) Here is how everything looks now: Hope I could be of help! :)

Had the same issue a while ago. Engine ran fine and then suddenly - dead. You could even see the tach have a seizure a few moments before the engine died. My only fix was to get a new complete dizzy, as they don't sell just the pickups/sensors inside of them. Even a whole new coil and ECM module didn't help and I even tested out a different ECU altogehter. The problem is that most aftermarket dizzys for our Hondas are ... hot garbage, to be honest. If you buy a cheap-ish one, you'll quickly find yourself ordering the next one sooner than later. The only quality brand I've seen is based in the US, by the name of "Dragon Fire". I know, sounds kinda iffy, but their stuff even meets the IATF standard, meaning it really is better than all of that Chinesium-garbage off eBay, and I've been running it for almost half a year now without complaint! Costs a pretty penny, though. :/

Hi all, So I can confirm aftermarket seats, without cutting frames or welding mounts to car, are completely possible. If you have read my before method with the universal frames this way is a lot easier and more cost effective. After 3 months of research I found a company called Planted Technology, they produced made to order seat sub frames for many cars. I emailed them to ensure my car was not an EK or an EG. I measured up the cars holes and got back the details of the closest fit frames they make. The Honda Accord 4th & 5th gen have the same interior as the MB3/MB6. I took a risk bought the frames and they do in fact directly fit. I admit it was a bit of a fiddle as they had to come from America so may have been slightly warped or bent on delivery, never the less I got them in as seen in the image below Here is a link to the main page, it would better off ordering them from GSM performance Planted Technology https://www.plantedtechnology.com/products/planted-seat-bracket-honda-accord-4th-5th-generation-1989-1997-passenger-right GSM performance https://www.sportseats4u.co.uk/product/planted-honda-accord-bracket/ Things to consider, these frames do not come with threads. M12 Nuts will be needed to fit seatbelts, M8 Nuts and bolts to fit seats to rails or frames, washers highly recommended

^^^ agreed! an awesome build and so clean, shame I didn't get chance to meet you properly@Honda Paul

Just want to bump this up. Seen this in the flesh today and have to say this was prob one of the best civics on the stand IMO!

I have a very similar set up on my MB ( type r cams, skunk 2 inlet,skunk 2 70mm throttle body, 4-1 manifold,de-cat,cold air induction kit,full exhaust) currently I'm running a stock B18C4 ecu and she runs sweet as a nut with no engine management light on,drives fine and all I did was plug in the vacuum valve for the 2 stage inlet which is all you'll have left over from changing the inlet manifold As for ECU though - on the 2nd of September Performance Auto Works are fitting me a Hondata S300 ecu with slight wiring mods and then tuning the whole car on a dyno.i would recommend getting yours re mapped as I do feel mine is slightly holding back due to the amount of mods carried out. Ultimately it will run better with a re map! I'll let you know how I get on and then I'll be in a better place to advice

Thanks guys. The rear strut brace was for a DC2 Nik, had to modify it to fit mind but I'm prety sure it's making a big difference bearing in mind it's a 4 way mounted one front and rear braces where purchased from 933 Motorsport and front one only required minor adjustment to fit perfectly I love the MB's matt. As I've said before, best car Honda ever made so far! Plus there becoming more of rarity these days too....Specially tidy ones like on this site. As for the sale of my baby.........I've spent an absolute fortune on her and its taken me 18 months of my life to build. If I was to be perfectly honest I'd quite happily leave her in the garage and never even drive it,just polish her every weekend! But you never know when needs must Thanks again for all your comments, it's nice to talk to people who really appreciate what I've done and can share the same passion for these cars.
