Got the tyres fitted this evening! going to try and book the car in for a 4 wheel alignment hopefully this week, actually feels good to spend a little money on the car for once other than fuel!

Will do once it's sorted! In other news.....lows are en route!

In fact. I've always been paranoid ever since owning this engine. It's really noisy. Ticky. But it always looks after me. Reliable. And responding well. I watched it bounce off the limiter 10 times today and not a hint of smoke at all. Not bad really it's covered over 120k miles. And I've punished it! Goes to show what good servicing does. New oil and filter every 3k max. And anything needed done straight away

It wasn't me either, it had the right postage on it.

I remember someone boasting about their 2.0l car having a "mighty" 150bhp and I turned around and said "That's 10bhp down on my 1600 Honda!" (Had the EK then!)

You lose dude.

Yep!

Holy mackerel. I'm gonna put mine up for 500 second hand then!!!

Think of it this way, you can spend the money on suspension, then at least when it doesn't run you can stare lovingly at it knowing your hard earned went into making it lower. Or you can put up with it being boat like a little longer but know you have peace and mind that she'll start first time, every time!

And probably advised you need a complete brake and suspension overhaul.

BeardedandbattycyclingTom!

Might drop them an email and see mate!

Gr8 job dave its amazing how much love is out there for the mb series of civic i wonder if hendy honda group are up for it too

But it's like £20 for a year's membership, so a good deal with the stickers And you're helping the club/forum out.

Well my shopping list end of month is: HAMP 'shortie' version Fuchs Engine Oil Fuel Filter Spark Plugs

good man.. By the way like your avatar, only just spotted it LOL

It might be small but its done some damage!

Waiting for him to just turn up at your door now!

Good old ebay, £65.

eurocarparts has got 25% off all service items at the minute. im doing a service on the smx and mine which will only cost me about £200 for both!! and thats with a cambelt and waterpump for the smx

Thats cool dude the new shafts actually come with the seals thats one thing i made sure of n the cv joints are defo on their last legs lol a new lot will see her straight

These are from my rally day a few years back!

Do it a bit at a time as you can afford to then! Start with the oil and filter, fuel and air filters, then plugs and leads, then cap and rotor if you need to etc etc!

I was thinking more along the lines of a fight to the death. But an auction works.

Well this is going to create pandemonium !!

Grant's decked deck. http://civic5.com/forum/index.php?/topic/7912-grants-pb-decked-deck/

HI guys, nice to read about others experiences I thoroughly enjoyed mine! from being purposefully pushed faster and flung into slides, to the awesome noise from the gearbox and constant popping from the exhaust! here are some pictures that were taking on the day!

Yay new bits picked up the drive shafts today looks like my weekend is booked lol Q are those codes right by the way

Pow!

Yep, £10 cheaper than FP. Best price I could find.

If I find some cheap 17s then I will. Was p1ssed right off I got outbid on them so went brought 2 new toyos for the front to cheer me up lol

That's funny u say I can't afford a full service then say ur gunna get bits from halfords. For the price u pay for spark plugs there could prob get a full service cheaper at honda lol

Welcome!

Excellent news.

Yeah was more than I expected actually. His dyno is bang on with dynodaze. Previously made exactly same power on both. Anyway results are in....

Exactly.

Woohoo!!!! Meister I assume!?!

No mate, I've bought oil for my mc2 my old lancer, my EK track car and my old durv galaxy from them?!

Ah magnecor leads look great mate. .I want ht leads and iridium spark plugs for mine but the combination at least is worth £76 and with magnecor it will be £106..so I keep delaying it for now lol .. looking forward to the USDM mod. . Should look proper nice with your car

Isnt opie oils generally for high performance cars? Yeah i will do a bit at a time. Prob do oil change and filter change alone with Fuel and air filters - although i dont need a air filter as its got an induction kit and cold air feed

Shouldn't top up really mate and do the filters. Change the oil completely. Look around, Opie oils are pretty good for oil and filters. Cheap and quick delivery.

It's like when I first got the VTi-S, needed a lot of maintenance work, still needs some but things that aren't vital to the cars running so I can afford to splash out on mods which I've done in spades recently!

I'd expect it give you a reach around as well for that price!!!!What's that all about??

Yeah ok... But for starters I think I deserve them Na I'm making my own set anyway. I got the projectors and the kit. Just waiting for someone to make the mold for me

I'm making a guess anyway.. have you bought a anti gravity mouse mat so you can use the laptop on the sofa and have a proper mouse that floats, instead of that silly touchy feely pad thing???

Yes, as above you won't be able to adjust the camber which is where my problem is. I've ordered some D2 camber arms by the way.

Love the alloys mate, look well smart..And it does make you feel so much better when your car is clean and everywhere around you are filthy cars.. I got in my mates car for five mins tonight, only car i been in for ages that is not ours and the first thing i noticed was the smell (he smokes in his car) and the dust and dirt and stuff sticking out of every cubby hole, felt so nasty getting a car that was not spotlessly clean and did not smell uber fresh LOL

yes definitely, don't want to over do it.
