Took inspiration from ammarbm's MB2 for my Civic5 sticker placement. But for the other side I decided to use the "I Heart My MB" sticker instead. And a couple of photos because why not? The spare Civic5 sticker will be going on the MB3 by the way.

Got to work finally after it breaking down twice every time I used the indicator. So opened it up and cleaned the contacts at the end of the barrel and problem solved now works lovely. Cheers for the help nick

Mmm well just done a long run motorway just nice and steady 60-80 mph 60 is best she has a roar above that lol no going in hi cam. That said in low cam I can bee hitting 200+bhp That's 2.6 hi comp running 725cc injectors So got back done 220 miles AND JUST USED HALF A TANK :)

Nice one loos so mmmmmm sweet . Yes they where I designed them to go and why back a few years a go I had the first every on the windows . Well I did get them done

I think we need to ask Dave to get some Civic5 slippers up on the store.

LOL and you have put your slippers on pulled up a chair and settled in for the duration,

What about getting another I love my MB sticker and putting them the opposite way round to the ones on your MB6.

Thanks Jay hoath, I don't sleep much and a lot of it is done @ night .

Yes, I usually just use a wire brush wheel on the drill machine. I then polish with sandpaper and those sandpaper pads to get the real effect. For instance the VTEC solenoid and the engine mount were done only with the pads and sandpaper, the bolts and nuts only with the wire brush wheel. Yeah, we have a workshop (will make some pics on sunday) that we rent for 300€, but there is 3 of us, so only 100€ a month, which is not that expensive I think. We also have a lot of tools there from the workshop owner.

Where's the new project "Not going to mod it too much but might do by accident and need another daily!" thread?

Yeah I'm a bit excited actually. Don't know why it's not gonna break any records but I am enjoying doing bits on the car even if I haven't drove it really in about a month. Tonight I thought I'd jump on the band wagon as it seems to be mod of choice. Jdm style tail lights. The eg just had the outers lit as tail/brakes. One inner was blocked off and the other was a fog lamp. I now have the inners as tail lights too and the drivers inner still acts as fog lamp using dual filament bulb. Test fit wiring. Old vs new After drilling blocked light socket. Also painted strut brace and found A bracket to hold the super lengthy dc2 throttle cable

That's true but its not as simple as bigger more flow its how it flows and how fast it flows if you to big you slow the flow on a small engine ( unless its turbo then that's a diff ball game ) Well if you need to replace the rust part like nick says best going for a cat back system

This is true but as Dave said with just a back box you won't notice much difference, if you got a cat back system that was 2.25" or 2.5" that would make a nice difference especially if you then added a manifold and decat.

Bore is the diameter of the pipe ,so like you said before the bore maybe 2 inch. 2.25 inch 2.5 inch Or if you have big power like me 3inch Basic the bore size is how big the hole in the pipe is

When you say inlet do you mean the tailpipe or the actual exhaust bore? Downpipe is the pipe from the manifold where it becomes one pipe. B pipe/middle pipe is the piece from the cat to the back box

FFs to late again

Nice price!

Yer all this said I was not worrying about the fuel coz she was built not for every day use just weekend fun lol , really what I wanted to build was a GT type of mental honda so you could do long trips if I want but also be like a mental type R like they used to be dc2 a sort of all rounder . So she goes mmmmmmmmmm grandad drive and a then hit the pedal and all hell breaks loose and NO TURBO going on under the bonnet. Do not get me wrong I love boost ,turbo or super charged but you just got to love N/A tooooooooooooooooooooo so sometime after 5000rpm you go holy shxx

I keep looking at B18C6 engines!

im glad we dont have to hear his boring ramblings personally LOL

I'd explain the reasons why but it's a long complicated story and here's not the place. Plus I'm perfectly happy to be thought of as an old git. I am one. Now b****r off.

Yes, do it, put the rear one where the 1.8vti badge goes.

ha ha i know but i've been busy trying to sort out my other car aswel plus what im doing to it etc

Thanks Craig, still deciding what I'm going to do but I'll keep it SicK.

Haha I've hassled James too!

sorry mate been really busy and haven't had time, will try and get some photo's tonight once i've dropped the misses off at work and then i can go from there will need a new set of wheels though!!

I thought about stocking James Krzys,to get him to start building these lights lol

That would look awesome!

Thanks Krzys I'm thinking of removing all the badges @ the back and adding and on the front

Haha! Next job will be dearer lol.

Got it. Tapering nuts... New tyres tomorrow, then tinkering time. Hopefully my MG ZS trim parts will arrive today, so I have the weekend to tinker and get my interior re-assembled.

So my front tyres were completely bald on the inside. I went to pick up a rear bumper the other day as mine is slightly damaged and the guy was selling part worn tyres also. Found 4 Bridgestone Turanza 205/45/16 tyres all with 6mm tread on them. Got 4 for £70 which I think is a bargain. Felt so much better on the road compared to my bald tyres Tracking time. . Hopefully that will sort the problem of tyres getting bald on inside. He said my track rod ends were fine. Currently I am refurbing my dust caps and centre caps and got one more thing planned for the wheels so hopefully they will look even better once completed

You're exhaust bore is smaller than MB6 so no it won't, you'd have to start by replacing the mani for one with the same size collector as MB6 (1.7" iirc) then use an MB6 cat or decat.

It definitely is, it might not be my cuppa t but I love what you're doing.

Cheers for the links nick. .I will look into it.

Hmm really would remove it PDQ, having said that it's to late. I suspect it's been reported several times now

I just thought I should update with this... With much sadness and regret, I have sold my MB. She was just sat on my driveway collecting, so thought it was better for her to be sold on. Luckily, my friend was wanting a project - so it's gone to him . I have recommended the site to him.. You haven't seen the last of Rhonda yet, sorry! (Yes, she was named Rhonda. Not my decision, I promise)

YES! there it is fair play dude im lovin it

This looks good as a cleaner, I might give it a go when my Bilberry runs out. http://www.cleanyourcar.co.uk/wheels-and-tyres/chemical-guys-sticky-wheel-cleaner/prod_909.html And this is a good sealant/wax. http://www.cleanyourcar.co.uk/wheels-and-tyres/poorboys-wheel-sealant/prod_9.html

Yep, you have to be cool to join in!

Much better! I hate chrome

M8 wat can i say but wow its amazing how much of a difference the de chroming makes How do you find tbe time to b so festidious with the details lol

sick! as I was looking at the front grill pictures I was like I hope he sprays that bit behind it black, scroll down and boom you did it! I like the rear end fully debadged apart from the 'H' badge in the middle and the civic badge

Orders? Didn't know you'd set up shop!

It would be impossible to make headlight any uglier than them hahaha got alot of orders to get through dude 1 person at a time.

Looks loads better sprayed black! Keeps the theme going!

Just realized I haven't made a proper list! Lowering - half done MGZS spoiler - done VTi-S skirts - done Steering wheel - done Front lower strut brace - done VTi / VTI-S interior - done Stuff to do this year with some big changes USDM light mod Engine dressing D16Y8 head-swap P28 ECU New head bolts, head-gasket, water pump etc etc K&N drop in panel filter 4-2-1 manifold or custom uneven length manifold Full custom cat-back system Front top strut brace Rear top strut brace Aaaaaaand,,, short shifter along with a new gear-knob

That's the thing. I am worried about the list getting too big ahha. I was thinking of a B, but I am not sure. Will have to wait and see about what I can pick up . They're probably the cheapest way to get it "low". You're all worrying me about the list, aha. Although one thing has bee added.. Spliter, I think it'd make the car look a little "meaner" and could look better with it. Not that I know of. I haven't had a diagnostics kit on it yet. Sure it wasn't this one? ahah . They're a car you get attatched too, i'll give you that. I haven't had mine a year and I am already attatched to it. And yes, more the outskirts of the town though. Beelsby. You know where that is? Im near enough always down lady smith road. Supprised I have not seen it yet... Cheers. I'll have a look into that and cheers for the advice . And i'll have a look for that, thanks .
