Wow it's amazing how far a thread can progress in a few hours of not being on! Electric pffft it's all a crock of shit. False advertising and leading people into a false sense of security. As has been said, the emissions just to get them on the road is ridiculous. Then there's the pollution that's going to be created in making the infastructure to support them country wide. Oh and did I mention that the 'clean' electric they use to fill it up is 88.6% produced from fossil or unrenewable energy anyway.

Well this certainly confused my wife and the post man. Nearly made me have a hernia with laughter though

Thought I'd join in with the MUG SHOT

WTF are you on about chief hat? That's perfectly reasonable English, I'll break it down for you. A question was asked: "Dose anyone know if you can get such a thing as uprated trailing arms" To which I replied: "I don't think so" (as in; I don't think there is such a thing) comma "I've not seen them" (as in; I have not seen any of those of which you speak). There's a perfectly clear comma in the middle thus dismissing any notion of double negatives. Now roll yourself a fat one and chill out.

Cheers dude! I'm just impressed I managed to do it on my own! Trying to arrange fetching the other set of wheels I want! Then that's the "winter" and "show" sets bought and I can then sell the 15's! Both sets will be getting colour changes but the "show" set are in a good way and can go straight on as they are to help me out!

Scared of bubbles maybe?? Anyway. The thermal barrier gasket things I have. The throttle one didn't fit. So I made a stencil of my throttle and sent it off. Finally came back today. Fits perfect! Pheeeww. My stencil was ropey so pretty chuffed it came out right. Anyway gonna book a day off next week for intake etc. Then again the next week. Then some mapping action very soon. Promise some progress next week!!

Madness what you can squeeze out the D's!! And if power is that much of a problem for the jazz, just do this!!!

Has to be to the left though

I LOVE BUBBLE WRAP !!!! GIMME!!!

Speaking of bmws and antilag... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_oNA8zytUZQ&feature=youtube_gdata_player

I'm not having a go mate, honestly. Just think it's all a massive con. And I bet that BMW set them back what, £25k plus??The solar panels however, yeah I get that idea and in their case it's a win win for them for sure. Can totally understand their decision. You say the BMW plant is powered by wind, you mean the oxford plant? That's all well n good, but the panel production plant in Swindon isn't lol. And the lorries that drive the parts too n fro ... I'd love to know if BMW and other electric cars makers, have produced a detailed analysis of how much 'bad' energy is used in the production and manufacturing and how long the electric car would have to run compared to an internal combustion engined car to make a difference. Oh and an important part I forgot, what about all the line workers farting all day while working!? I was one of them (in both honda & BMW) that's enough methane to make a rugby pitch size hole in the ozone every shift! Ha

Yeah what people see in action and behind closed doors are two completely different things, if people knew the costs of producing, running and disposing of say a Toyota Prius they'd sooner run my 80's Accord! Meh, been to sleep since then! Didn't realise it was that long ago!

Sounds nice maz... Looks a good tidy job too!! Theres never worries about posting updates on the forum for me! Am always hesitant about posting on the facehead page though! Some very immature people lurking on there! I also feel more at home on the forum anyway... As it is basically my second home! Haha... Always getting moaned at!!! 'Your bloody addicted to that civic5!'. errm yeah.. Whats your point?! Lool

Ah man that sucks soooo much !!!! Hunt your ex boss down and torture him slowly..

Civic5 shenanigans aren't just limited to the forums you see!

Instantly regretting posting that lol *wanders off to start my own classic, stanced, hellaflush, race, best French car picture thread..........and be the only person on it*

So many car makers now have a lineup of models of different sized clones of the same shape. It's great to see Honda release something that looks nothing like anything else. I wasn't so keen on the original testing pics, but if it comes out looking like that I'd actually seriously consider buying new. ( btw. oi moderators. There's already a thread on this )

It was Tom.....all Tom's doing that......yep, not me at all in the slightest.....

Sounds good except for the fact the rears are already too low so if he cuts a coil off the front tyres are going to lose contact with the road, Maybe one off the front.

Bisimoto stuff is cool...worth the wait!

Ooo fancy bits and pieces ere! Good to see some D-series enthusiast! I'll be keeping an close eye on this as I will be doing a head conversion soonish and replacing the clutch along with a lightweight flywheel

In fact that same d16 is now 280bhp turbo little beasty.

Yeah eBay mate and yeah heko everyone raves about climair but I've never had a problem with heko and I've had them on all my cars I've ever had deflectors on

Dam this thread has gone fully in depth son yeah!!petrol till i die lol but if you can run an electric car on wind or solar power then it kind of makes sense then it leaves all petrol for ME!!!!!

Please forward invites for the funeral to.....

Yeah Tom it was but luckily she only thinks spent just under £200 if only she knew it was more like 520 haha

That and something equally gash from Mercedes were on shedsofinstagram this morning! Urgh!

Yeah you tell her!

me 2 unfortunatly i dont like electric cars they cause way more emissions getting made than they are trying too prevent, i say honda have got it right with hydrogen fuel cell tec that they are working on in california it way better n you can convert older engines to it

Lol I'm only slagging It seems a much more relaxed forum compared to others I'm on who'd string you up for not searching first, even if their search page is rrrrubbish. A hybrid system like the 918 would be amazing and something I'm sure we'll see in one of the next Type Rs. No more jokes about lack of torque I actually can't wait to drive a car that will have a respectable amount of instant power available. Hopefully we'll get normal priced cars like that in the next decade.

Yay you've managed to get it fitted! That's the correct position too!

I love it 280-300bhp turbo cant wait to have a go in 1,a mate of mine works for honda and we have already said we are taking it out for a test drive

My left over screws live the coin box! Not at all! Me either!

Demon tweeks do them eBay has a s**t load too. If you search exhaust reducer they will come up. I used a 50 mm to a 68 mm, they come in so many sizes that you modify to suit. Good luck

Thanks! The exhaust hangers are exactly the same and line up with the MB, but the inlet pipe doesn't quite line up with the MB center exhaust pipe. This is because where it joins, the flange doesn't line up. So what I had to do is cut the flange to line it up with the MG ZS exhaust inlet pipe. Then I used a exhaust clamp to connect the flange again and using a bit of exhaust paste. That's how I done mine! Another option, you can cut both flanges and slide a slightly larger pipe over both pipes (the MG ZS pipe and MB center pipe) and use 2 exhaust clamps or weld it all together! Hope that helps I was thinking about one of those universal lips or a Laguna lip, but I want to do it properly using Honda OEM kit Cheers! Na a mate of mine resprayed it. He will be having my car for a week once I fit the springs. I will be having the bumper splitters and trims colour coded

Damn I need a mug too... all on the post-JapFest list.

No, M's are OBD2 with OBD1 plugs.

Sound good . No hate on here WELL THERE BETTER NOT BE OR STICK IS OUT

You're also forgetting you need projectors for them to be legal. So basically - Auto self levelling - Projectors - Automatic self cleaning At the bare minimum. and FWIW an HID bulb is called a capsule

Those bolt grip sockets got to be worth a go... Before getting well involved with drilling and grinding etc! Once you start grinding you cant go back! Might need to arrange one of these 'stuffed deck convoys' myself when we move in a few months!! Sounds a cracking idea and my furniture would be proud to travel in such style!! New rubber holds up a treat cheers for the advice lads!! Well happy!

Think some one needs a punctuation lesson Mr chief hat

Good man, I used that trick on my lancer too. She knows better for the M though. But she won't grumble. While she's gagged and tied down anyway.

That looks fantastic mate, really good job he's done there. Looking forward to the video but I can't believe you had this fitted Thursday and are only posting today. Shocking behaviour.

Tut, tut, rushing in without making sure, not something I'd do.

Haha just chucked the cigarette lighter in there for the pic 99% the time got my phone charger in there damn iPhone battery don't last to long. Another little update I managed to finally get a set of vtis side skirts £50 posted I'm happy with that might make car look better that there is a lip on front and rear but nothing on the side
