Wiring doesn't scare me it's just I can get confused sometimes then I get angry ha ha. Nah I've got a plan on the way don't worry

Thanks guys :smile: Some info on Fender braces J's Racing inner fender brace provides chassis reinforcement between the joint of the car's front engine section and mid c**kpit section. Typically, the greatest strength of the car's chassis will be low, concentrated in the frame. As we move up the chassis, we find there is less reinforcement, especially at the fender area, where the forward section and mid section of the car are joined by a few spot welds. Consequently, under hard braking and cornering there is a great amount of flex and twist at the fender area. The J's Racing fender brace reduces this flexing and the sloppy steering response associated with it. Chassis rigidity is increased noticeably and turn in response is significantly crisper and faster.

Nope I haven hung around has taken me ages to find a set and then 2 weeks for them to be delivered so wanted then straight on They are going black mate like rest of the skirts and my spoiler when it's finished

Yes, yes, we know that.

I can imagine that will look f**kin awesome! I think Dinochips had a big effect on us

You'd only win if it was a competition for weirdest food order in a Chinese

Nice! Yeah any new wheel you buy the place will send out appropriate rings if needed! That's why they ask what car they're for!

From the arch to the bottom of the centre cap it's 390mm at the front and 400mm at the back!

Hello babe, how you been lol

properly gutted. that set off a bit of a dodgy car history - 1.6 J reg cavilier with the best reg ever (J460 CUM) which I found didn't have an air filter in when I went to change it... explains the clouds of black smoke that used to belch out of it! in the end it got scrapped because of the longest MOT fail list ever (they had to write on the back of the sheet). next up was a 1.4 pug 306 (though it did have a lush momo steering wheel) that I ran until the clutch went, then scrapped it (but didn't retrieve the wheel - DOH!). then I got a 1.8 Carina with 190k on the clock, which was mint for covering the 350 miles a week I was doing on the commute, and had a HUGE boot. Eventually the o2 sensor went which was going to cost £400 to sort (only paid £300 for the car). I went to look at a volvo at the garage to trade the Carina in, but saw the deck and then the VTI sign, and then googled it and here I am. test drive sold it all day

it is indeed. I see F1 as an event i watch but they are not cars really, not in the sense that we all know cars and BTCC is the best car racing series of the lot IMO.

Like those plate holders fitted, wasn't sure before!

I need to see how money pans out, got £500 of hotels and car insurance which take priority for this months pay! If I can afford it once my refund comes then I'll get straight on them!

Noooooo going all out on some Meisters when money allows!

Nice one! TiVo has been clever and recorded it anyway but a reminder is always good!

Continue shopping ..... New polyurethane bushing for stabilizer bar (energy suspension) and some PWJDM fender washers (blue)! And the new oil .... Which is Millers Oils XFS 5w-50 Full Synthetic Engine Oil.

Definitely, you don't want it slopping about all over the place.

Damn, how is this fair.

Thanks for that Nick! Think I like the Japan racing ones the best, although both are very similar. But the JR's have the polished lip so they're winning for me! I'd probs get the centres sprayed either white, gun metal, gold or colour coded to the car. I'd imagine that the supplier will have the spigots in stock if needed. Getting all excited now!

Would love to put mine in but it's nowhere near ready for scrutiny and don't think it would stand a chance next to the ones already entered ^^

Just a whole load of granny porn.

if i was going down that route i would say the same as Krys and Tom, but seeing as i got an AEM short arm for next to nothing im using that for now, cant afford a DC2 air box ^^

Here's some pictures of the car with the new side skirts on

Same old mr brown not reading the post properly and they gave him a banning stick lol

But it's a reputation for wanting cars to come down to your level!

For the standard airbox, I would just get a cheap motor factors air filter, it'll do the job! My wishlist has ITR airbox with Spoon filter on

Yes it would but could also lead to suicide.

Not much going on so far. A lot of driving and tidying up. I have an Avital Maxx1 car alarm. It's a little PITA because I can't seem to set it! The manual states there is a button which you use to configure the alarm...problem is it's hidden! However, I did find a control box so reduced the sensor sensitivity for now. tip top! Some new goodies. A set of working OE fog lights with original glass and housings

Went to see how my EU7 was doing last weekend. I miss how reliable and easy to drive it was, but I don't regret swapping it for the MB6 one bit. And now let me tell you about side repeaters. The set on the right I bought on eBay from a seller called xenons_uk. The advert said they would fit MB's, but when I received them they were EG fitment and thus were too small for the MB6. I messaged the seller and got a refund but they let me keep the repeaters, so no harm done. The set on the left I purchased from Gordon Flash Jackson on the Civic5 Facebook page. I don't know if he's on the forums. Anyway he was honest and told me one of the clips was broken, so he threw in the smoked set you see in the middle for free so I could take the missing clip off that set. So now I have this. I'm thinking of putting the smoked set on my MB3 but does anyone have any idea how I'm going to fit them with a missing clip? I've considered glue but then if a bulb goes I'm kinda screwed.

Same as the unwanted lip removal from the other year?

What you trying to say?? Mods are going to slow down a bit as I'm wanting to get her back to good health however there will be updates almost every Friday lol

What I would try is. Where the back box is take the horn live off and the one from the main loom tape them together and try the horn that way. If works prob that relay

ye you'll see me end up blowing my car up from just trying to connect some wires together ha ha

Nah go Meister!!

Finally new rims . 17 inch 7J ET35 with hand-polished lip. I also finally get the Honda Accesory steering wheel: Was not in bad condition, but now it looks like this

Could go either way! What about painting them black and doing the USDM indicator mod? Best of both then!

Looking good. You should update more!

No, that's why he's re-drilled it.

Very nice and good work

What a beautiful looking MB6! Love the colour and the colour coded bumper strips. It looks spot on! Top work fella, good effort!

THIS CAR IS s**t.... ....s**t HOT! I love the work and I wish I had the space/money/skills/technical knowhow/time/experience (you know what i mean lol) to undertake this! Personally I think it looks good without the spoiler - im tempted to do the same since my spoiler looks gash :s

This looks awesome, love your hard work

WOW That looks stunning mate. Paint looks amazing, great work Looking forward to seeing this build thread as it develops Only thing i will say is i personally think these cars look strange with no spoiler at all, but thats just my opinion. Keep up the excellent work.....

Nice little shot in the fog this morning

17's much further down the line im affraid!! Cant get that sort of money together any time soon sadly! hopefully these will be resprayed before the fest tho!!!! Rides much better now... Feels more stable over bumps and holds on the corners alot better, especially combined with the new front rubber! Lol Waited so long to put these on now my mind is on the next job! Seems like car mod lists are a bit like red hot chilli pepper lyrics!! Done, done and onto the next one, done and done and onto the next one...

Lol 😂Here's how I find it easier to do Put window down 1) Pull seal out 2) Remove doorcard 3) Remove plastic waterproofing wrapper 4) Remove the quarter glass frame/bar Has a screw under the door seal at the top and one on the door skeleton 5) Lower window until you can see the two 10mm bolts holding glass on to rail, whilst holding the glass remove the 10mm bolts. 6) Pull the glass out 7) Now the quarter glass can be pulled out to. fit in reverse, DON'T over tighten the two 10mm bolts, just firm. spray wd40 or gt85 down the tracks and slide the rubber in last it will go. Been a while since I have done one, I think thats everything Hope that helps

Why does the passenger look terrified?
