She's rocking 2.5 all the way dude. No lube required. I don't even touch the sides.

see what I think it would've been is that with the meister R coilovers. say spring is 200mm, you make the preload to 190mm, the shock wont be any longer than it is already because all you have done is to compress the spring more making it a quicker rebound back up to normal height, thus making it slightly harder for the spring to compress. the shorter the spring the quicker it will spring back up thus giving the car a harder and bouncy ride, the compression controls the speed the shock reacts to bumps and how quickly it goes back to its normal state of travel, less compression means the slowly it comes up, more compression the faster it comes up. I've learnt this from being a mountain biker and messing about with my bikes and tuning them up @UnicyclingTom

I'll speak to him PHILL but im not sure i'll be able to get any special pricing ..

Liking that very much Dave

The rocker looks good so far!

And a cheeky wee photo, before it gets fitted. The chrome lettering has still got some gluey crap on it from the masking tape, but I'll leave it about a week before getting it off with some white spirit. Just heard back from honda, the new gasket is in stock so will be picking that up probs Monday

Thanks for the positive comments guys! The deck will be missed. Yes the full b18 swap is still here @Dave It's fairly stock, very clean tho! Came with brand new unfitted skunk 2 lcas, ADR sub frame brace, beaks bar, ek9 rep front lip and grille and iv already got coilovers for it and might try fit my old custom back box from the deck. And yes il defo be attending any upcoming civic5 meets

Well, not been up to much with DD lately, so thought I better get some stuff done! One thing I've been looking to change is the temp rocker/cam cover that I fitted for Japfest2 last year (the pinky/purple one). Bought it as a temp one whilst I prepped and painted DD's own cover, and tbh, the paint finish on the temp one was gash! It had been done before I bought it, and I wasn't really happy with the finish (or colour). So, been busy sanding down and prepping. The covers have some "join lines" from when they were cast, which I wanted rid of as it would spoil the look, so I machined them out to give it a cleaner look. Next up, I decided that the cover was gonna be colour coded to the car (Orleans Blue) but wanted some bling to break it up. Long term plans are doing some air brushing to it aswell. So I machined the "HONDA" lettering smooth, then used a metal polishing kit to bring them up to a chrome finish. Which should look good with the blue. Just finished it around 10 mins ago, has had around 6 coats of lacquer, and is looking sweet! Now got it baking at 80 degrees (don't ask!) so should be ready for taking the masking off the lettering. Just been on the phone to Honda (waiting on a call back) as I'm ordering up new rocker cover gasket, new rocker bolts and the wee rubber seals that go in the spark plug holes. Want it all as good as new. Hoping the new bolts are chromed like the ones I got for Ruby, if not, may metal polish them. Pics to follow once its ready!! Going to see about a stainless manifold for her next, and then some more engine bay detailing. Should look good along with the blue hose kit from Chandler. Also going to do a small exterior mod, but keeping it secret just now!

Yes mate, i've corrected Its for Trace you muppet

Still no good if the boss gets a puncture at the next meet!

Btw I take it the xlrg is a 48" and not a 28" lol

cheers. nah man eBay ha ha might have to order some from japan though, but they are very expensive :/ just waiting on the hoses to turn up now, got a few other mods I'm doing in the process so watch this space
