Was just reading this on top gear. Think that this sort of product is going to be more common. https://www.topgear.com/car-news/electric/what-would-you-do-107bhp-crate-electric-motor I bet ecu modification suddenly becomes more complicated though... Especially if you want a motor for each rear wheel

Much as I hate EV's I'm all for hybrids and think hybrids ARE the way forward. Would even consider this for DD, but at that price and needing one for each rear wheel, the price would by far outweigh it being economically viable.Plus you need sva to re-class the vehicle, lots of hoops and red tape to jump through I think.

I've been looking for this sort of thing glad its finally surfacing

words toitally escape me mate, absolutely gutted to see Tubs looking like that. ou need to sue the arse out of that company, trading standards the lot need to be on this mate! I have seen lots of bodged work over the years but that is by far one of the worst. Considering what they charged you for a "restoration" they need shut down. I'd happily go down there and smack the welder and the owner of the place in the mouth as I'm disgusted what they done to your car. Please feel free to name and shame them on our FB page too mate, social media has a funny way of dishing our karma, and they are due a bucket load (make that a rusty bucket load) of karma for that. I know how much you love that car, and what she means to you. Jake makes a good point though about transplanting all the good stuff from her onto a good shell. Might be worth thinking about, although knowing how much you've put into her and your love for her know you'll probably stick to your guns and save Tubs. As also said, have seen loads of cars on Car suasage that were way worse than Tubs being saved, although it all depends on cost I suppose. Cars they were saving were worth a lot of money restored, whereas our civics are still only worth £2 to 2.5K tops when mint, maybe 3k at a push. But if you've no intention of selling her anytime soon, then would still be worth saving. Think there's a lot of hours work in there though, undoing all the shite that that crap garage

Im only gonna say this because I've been watching rust valley on Netflix. When shells far gone.. they convince owner to resell and use all there bits to keep the spirit. I recon you could find a pretty tidy rolling shell for 400 quid. People just want the heart out of them. And swap all your bits over?????

That's bad mate, garage should be sued. BUT, i watch Car SOS with that arsehole, smarmy git Tim Shaw. They rebuild s**t heaps that have been sitting dor 30 years etc and are held together by pubic hair. Anything can be done mate, just homework and a good understanding garage can resurrect her. At the end of the day it's only metal, and metal can be cut and welded. You love the car and once all done, will last another 20 years! Easy for me to say, im not in your position, but IF your that far involved with the car, keep going!

Holy f**k. How is it that bad? The eg subframe is similar for sure, same width I recon as for the shape how it sits to the floor i dont know.

Seats look nice mate

More improvements! A little more cornering stability for me. The original seats just want to throw me out. Test with the passenger seat. Super comfortable and very easy to install ... I'll put the driver's seat in later. Because my tuner is slightly large for this seat size without damaging it.

Evening All, Just bought (Not collected yet) my first MB6. I have owned various Hondas over the years 3 EK's, 1 CRX Del Sol and an FN2. Im looking forward to something different. No proper pictures yet. I am a detailer based down in Somerset, so its going to be a long term project and I may improve it a little but most importantly is it looks clean. Any suggestions for some initial improvements? Handling etc? Can you get suspension kits as opposed to having to go coilovers? Any suggested tuning places to have it mapped in time? I used CPL racing many many years ago. Cheers all, pictures to follow!

I took the car on the 23rd. But there was a problem, it worked on 3 cylinders. We decided it was from spark plugs, cables, cap, rotor. Everything was OK! After that, we checked the injectors and BOOM ,replaced with those from K-series engine ,everything worked properly now. It pulls quite hard, even though I drive it lightly 4000/rpm max.

Shocking... The pics say it all Bloody dangerous to say that's been fixed

Had a call from the new garage who've basically condemned what was done before, and said it needs thousands spending and that they don't think it's worth it. Going down to take a look.
