job done more than happy

We want... ...a shrubbery.

Yep, it might beat you away from the lights but you'll catch it quick enough as the driver stops to look for a powerpoint.

I've not really had much to update on the MB3. It's still being my reliable (to a degree) workhorse, helping me keep people safe from evil extension cables. I've ordered some stickers for it to hopefully finish the rear window. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/251387070453?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2648 http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/250870727727?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2648 http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/250820114346?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2648 I'll get pictures once they're all on. Should look sweet.

I took a couple more photos last night. The ITR air box in it's current placement. The rocker cover is just an embarrassment but further down the to-do list right now. My windscreen sealing As long as it stays dry now I can clean up that damp stain with upholstery cleaner. Nice clean plates and beading

And we're in! what an effort but i have moved in! the van was so handy despite being a reno traffic. The garage shed extension is actually bigger than i remember but bad news theres damp everywhere! all the main beams i can see are soaked, once i rip the total DIY bodgy cealing he put in there i can see the damage but i rekon its the roof nails. Using the pieces of chip board from the old wardrobe i will make a bench with draws. Getting there now, i dont think ill find the time to do my wheels this week lol.

I might be interested in the 15's... Good excuse to do an hub conversion and bigger brakes upgrade...

Yes, European launch probably spring next year, this is a concept though so it probably won't look exactly like that, arches added rather than part of the bodywork, 19" rims with 20" as an option, I like this quote though;

My arches have been cut out and replaced. Inner arch too. £400. They are perfect no rust yet. I even looked inside recently and still good as gold

Shame to hear that. I think I'll be trying out lots of different things on the MB3 in the coming months. Go a bit wild.

yes yes and a hammer Top Gear Quote "such a pikey tool" LOL but yes you do need one of those as well...

Should be the same price as any other paint made up from code. Try here: http://www.paints4u.com/

£20 annually. Or there are 3 and 6 month options.

x2 on the CV joint, full lock it in a car park or open space and if it's that you'll usually hear a clicking as you move forward/backwards! Lock it both ways to check both sides!

I've not long gotten an iBone, that would be cool until you get a dirty text up on the screen while taking your gran somewhere!

Good song!

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.

Even the bubble wrap was entertaining

Yes but it's only the boots, if they've split and caused the cv joint to wear prematurely then you'll have a case, if not then it's like I said, grit that got in when they were split and they won't entertain that.

How cool is that? B)

Damn that's nice. There was a c6 one for sale on eBay a while back. Massive spec sold for about 8 grand iirc

That looks spankingly clean mate, fogs look good too.

Having said that a friends ej9 was done and they lasted about 6 months and started going. Cheap crap job I reckon.

Mixing business with pleasure!

My older brother came over late afternoon yesterday looking for the sledge hammer, when I asked him why all I got back was "Its for a Peugeot!", to which I replied with "Wouldn't it just be easier to fix it with fire?"

Poor Becca.. Re stickers mate sohc vtec is such a must mate and i seen the MB Squad ones about but i not seen the third one will be different which is a win from me.....

I dibsy first on that LOL I hope not, (comma) could make things very confusing here if it is..... Suits me i'm left handed

Most music I like is! I have good taste!

Basically yes. The 98 spec one is s/steel and is reported to give excellent results often much better than aftermarket manifolds. The 96 spec is cast, the same as ours but is also apparently better but nowhere near as sought after or expensive. They both have larger collectors though so you will need a decat or sports cat.

I had one of those on Becca!

My mate had home delivery before... Had fruit etc delivered with the best before date, on that day!! Bl00dy useless... As if he wanted to eat 6 apples, a pineapple, a bunch of grapes and 5 bananas all that day!! Yeah alright mate!!

They don't make 'em like that anymore!

Check to see if the C.V Boot is torn on that side, it sounds like a C.V Joint if it knocks when turning..If not report back and a few more things will have been suggested

Er, Mk1 civic anybody.

Was my thoughts exactly Dude should hopefully cure it for a year at least

Pull up to the lights, *thump thump thump*, go to pull off and it fades away to make power to move

Wats the point i have ICE in an electric car you would be forever turning it off to increase the range lol electric os a fad to make celebs feel gr8 about living in a big house n earning lots of money even bio diesel fuels are a better option im gona run my drift car on bio ethanol lol should be fun

That would be a great plan mate, PM'd! Collection only?

Same here, I do the majority of the cooking in our house. And seeing as I'm the only driver in the house I do the all the food shopping too. Food only mind, any other shopping can f*ck right off.

this is torque pro I didn't have the car running when I took these Although it works a treat Some more of the car

Yeah if your going to cut make sure its from the right end lol!

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

Shoulda done before and after shots from same angle! Get a proper sense of 'lowness' then (lowness, another word i can add to the dictionary?? Lol )

Good man, pass it on then.

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

Not at all but wanted people to make a fuss of having it rather than just thinking "Oh right, yeah...." Another member has been Sir Esq'd today!

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

Sounds exciting bud!! Looking forward to the update!
